The Republic of Svyatoy, more commonly known as Svyatoy, is a micronation in Europe. Svyatoy was formed on 28 March and lays claim to regions of the United Kingdom.
The government is run by an anocracy, meaning a government with partially dictatorial and partially democratic elements.
Svyatoy has made significant attempts to distance itself from the micronational community, but attempts to still have a presence within it, albeit small.
Etymology
The name Svyatoy comes from the Russian word Святой (svyatoy or svyatoĭ), meaning "Holy". As such, the Republic of Svyatoy could be considered as the "Holy Republic" in Russian.
History
Svyatoy was founded on 28 March 2023 by Oleksandr Georgiyovich Tsimbalyuk, the nation's first President, from a desire for independence from the United Kingdom.
