Government
The micronation is a republic, with the most powerful member being The President in Charge. Voting is allowed to all members above the Age of Powers. Check out the hierarchy here. The President is noted to be friendly and cooperative with other members.
Etymology
The etymology is unknown, because the original founders have moved and lost interest in participating. The name is a direct translation from Estonian.
History
The Republic actually started as a parliamentary monarchy, but after the leader role was given to a new member, the form of government changed to republic. At its peak, the member count was 15-20, but after the Great Peace, the member count has dropped to 3-5.
Geography
The Republic lies in the territories of Estonia, specifically in the northern county. It once expanded to the eastern countys, but after the Great Peace, the Republic surrendered the lands and continued in the north. The micronation does not have a capital, because it is based in a location, where a capital would be useless.
