The Sprinske Empire, commonly referred to as just Sprinska, is a micronation in the Kolniari Sector, inside of Glasgow, Scotland. It was Founded on 30 October 2020 in the aftermath of the Sprinske Revolution during the Treaty of Spritsnasque along with it’s satellite state, the Imperial Republic of Donkrea. The Sprinske Empire was originally an isolationist nation, but has since became more connected with the wider micronational community due to a recent wave of globalism within the nation. Since then, the nation formed the Kolniaric Union to unite the sector, which has managed to keep the peace in a highly unstable sector ever since its creation. The Sprinske Empire is also a member of the BalCasMed Alliance, the Union of the Northern Alliance, has applied for Observership of the Grand Unified Micronational and has diplomatic relations with 18 other nations.

The nation views itself as the sole successor to the Sprinske Communist Republic, in a similar manner to the Russian Federation being viewed as the successor to the Soviet Union, despite having almost nothing in common with it’s predecessor. This was disputed by the Democratic Republic of Sprinska, itself claiming to be the true successor of the Sprinske Communist Republic due to the fact that it was much more similar to it’s predecessor, and was ruled by the same leader.

The Sprinske Empire was for a long period of time, the most Powerful and influential of the Kolniari Nations, and was one of the founding members of the Kolniaric Union along with it’s former puppet state, the Imperial Republic of Donkrea, which is now the Second Republic of Donkrea

History

The Sprinske Empire was founded on 30 October 2020 in the aftermath of the Sprinske Revolution. The country was created by the Treaty of Spritsnasque, a treaty signed in what became the capital city of the Sprinske Empire. The treaty also granted independence to the Province of Donkrea as a satellite state, which became the Imperial Republic of Donkrea, it also dissolved the Sprinske Communist Republic

In the nation’s early History, it was a very unstable country and Prone to micronational terrorism. The Gorralic Communist Union was the name of a guerrilla organisation that regularly staged attacks on both the Sprinske Empire and the Imperial Republic of Donkrea, it was created by remnants of the Sprinske Communist Republic, but in June 2021, these attacks ceased when the Gorralic Communist Union dissolved, and some of the leading members joined the Sprinske Empire, even the former king of the Sprinske Communist Republic eventually joined, and he became a very high ranking military Official within the Nation, this was arguably the first peak of the nation, as the country would not grow to the same extent until the International Era. The former king of the Sprinske Communist Republic took the position of General, and was the second Highest ranking official in the country, behind only Emperor Aaron I. Despite Their previous differences, the Emperor and the General got along, and the nation began to rapidly improve its navy and Air Force. The country began construction of a cardboard aircraft carrier for their R/C paper aircraft, a secret project known as Supercarrier HMS Falcon. HMS Falcon was to be the navy’s flagship, it started construction in July, and was expected to be completed in September, but its Construction was interrupted by some unexpected events.

The nation began to enter an ideological crisis, there were some that wanted to remain an absolute monarchy, but others wanted a slow transition to communism. The Emperor and General Began to clash over ideology, and two distinct factions began to emerge: the Imperial Faction were the larger of the two by a small amount, the Imperial Faction were those loyal to the Emperor and wanted to keep the nation as an absolute monarchy. The other was the Communist Faction, who were loyal to the General and wanted to slowly Transform the Sprinske Empire into a revival of the Sprinske Communist Republic. Tensions were at their highest in early August 2021, when the Emperor and General had a major argument, which caused the nation to tear itself apart.

On 3 August 2021, the Communist Faction Declared independence, forming the Democratic Republic of Sprinska. Due to the communists mostly having control over the western part of the Sprinske Empire, their new nation was often Known as West Sprinska. Secession from the Sprinske Empire was illegal, and caused the Sprinske Civil War to erupt

Sprinske Civil War

MicroBall satire of the Sprinske Civil War.

As a violation of the Sprinske Constitution, the secession of West Sprinska automatically triggered war. West Sprinska had one major difference: it was no longer a monarchy, it was now a military dictatorship, so the General decided to keep his title to link the government and the military. Both nations invested heavily into their navies, but the Sprinske Empire, which still held most of the shipyards, decided not to continue construction of HMS Falcon, instead, they invested heavily into building three more Emperor-Class Cruisers. HMS Emperor was the flagship of the Sprinske Navy, built in late 2020 to improve the naval strength of the nation along with the Clover-Class and Shark-Class.

The Sprinske Empire stored it’s ships in two locations: Rio De Sprinska, which was in the East, and the Western Province. As the Western Province had become part of West Sprinska, those ships were seized by the nation for it’s own navy. One of these was HMS Invader, a battleship built in late 2020 that had been refurbished.

It was on 19 August 2021 that the first naval battle of the Sprinske Civil War began. HMS Emperor and HMS Invader both received minor damages, and 3 ships sank. Two of the sunken vessels Belonged to West Sprinska, and one belonged to the Sprinske Empire. The Sprinske Empire’s sunken vessel actually crashed into HMS Emperor, causing minor damage to the flagship.

After 5 naval battles, HMS Emperor received major irreparable damage and was scuttled in the Shedhill River to prevent it from being seized by West Sprinska. Emperor Aaron I of Sprinska declared that the Shedhill River had to be blocked to prevent West Sprinska from landing troops and taking the country’s biggest City. Shedhill is the biggest city in the Kolniari Sector, and there is a major metal foundry in the area, so it was of more importance than a few obsolete ships.

On 30 August 2021, Emperor Aaron I ordered that the unfinished Supercarrier be taken apart and use for spare parts for other ships, and everything that couldn’t be reused was to be burned and used as fertiliser for the crops in the agricultural area of the Province of Grannysland. Over the next few days, the ship taken apart, and most of it Went to Fixing the HMS Osprey’s water cannons so that they would have better range and more power to sink enemy ships.

On 20 September, there was a major airstrike on the Democratic Republic’s Capital city of Úrmda when the Emperor was informed that West Sprinska was building a giant battleship that could sink the HMS Osprey in one shot.

In early October, West Sprinska launched a large-scale invasion of the Sprinske Empire. Fighting lasted for hours, until West Sprinske broke through the Sprinske Empire’s defences, and captured the capital city, Spritsnasque. HMS Osprey was in the city at that time for repairs, and was almost captured, but the Emperor made sure that the ship was removed from the city, and moved to a safer city, Rio De Sprinska. Due to it’s geographical area, Rio De Sprinska was a perfect place to have as the capital city, as it would be nearly impossible to invade it, so it officially Became the Capital city of the Sprinske Empire the next day.

Morale in the Sprinske Empire had suffered a major decline after Spritsnasque fell, but on 16 October, they launched a major assault to take back the city, the city was surprisingly under-defended, and it was taken easily. This gave a major boost to morale in the nation that would last for the duration of the war. Revolution Day came On 30 October 2021, and the Emperor placed a mole in West Sprinska to reveal Their battle plans, so when the Attack came the Next day, it was a major victory for the Sprinske Empire.

HMS Viking on fire

On 5 November 2021, the Sprinske Empire decided that it was time to block the Shedhill River. HMS Viking, HMS Crane and over 20 other ships were placed in the Shedhill River, loaded with explosive fun-snaps, and the ships were blown up and sank. All of the ships were removed from the river once the war ended.

On 9 December 2021, an ceasefire was agreed between the Emperor of the Sprinske Empire and the General of West Sprinska, effectively ending the war. The Treaty of Rio De Sprinska was supposed to officially end the war in June 2022, but it was Renegotiated In August 2022, when the war officially Ended.

Post-Civil War

After the Civil War unofficially ended, the country had a period of peace. In June 2022, the Emperor started reconstructing the country from the ground up. A new government was set up to allow the citizens to elect a Prime Minister, and different departments would be given different leaders who were voted for by the other government members, but the Emperor still has absolute power to overrule any of their decisions, or even force them to resign.

The country elected B.S. Hedgehog, a hedgehog from Bannockburn as the Prime Minister. The Emperor thought that it was crazy to elect an animal as Prime Minister, but he didn’t stop it either. B.S. Hedgehog’s owner basically took over the hedgehog’s duties and acted ‘on the behalf’ of B.S. Hedgehog. The Prime Minister’s term was a week, but they can run for re-election as many times as they want. B.S. Hedgehog was quite a popular Prime Minister, with an approval of 80%. His owner announced that B.S. Hedgehog would run for a second term, and he was set to win by a landslide.

On the night of 19 June 2022, Hedgehog was found dead under mysterious circumstances[1] This was announced the next day when the election was due, so B.S. Hedgehog’s owner ran for election instead, but he lost the election to Logan Roy, who became the country’s first human Prime Minister

On 21 June 2022, during Logan Roy’s time as Prime Minister, the assassin who killed B.S. Hedgehog was caught, and a historic peace treaty with the Former Country of West Sprinska, officially the Democratic Republic of Sprinska was arranged. Under the original deal, West Sprinska would become part of the Sprinske Empire, and the General would receive a military role, but the Emperor decided that the treaty would be re-negotiated. Currently, the Treaty of Rio De Sprinska awaits re-negotiation in August.

Despite the significant achievements that occurred during his premiership, Prime Minster Roy was a controversial leader. His predecessor, the late B.S Hedgehog, had approval ratings of over 80%, despite not doing much. Logan Roy, however, had less support, with an approval rating of only 40%. This came due to allegations that he had a hand in the death of BS Hedgehog, and he was accused of assault. He promised to only serve for one term, then emigrate. He nearly had an impeachment trial, but there wasn’t enough evidence for it.

Improvement Era

Former flag of the Sprinske Empire (30 October 2020 - 7 August 2022)

On 27 June 2022, Masyn Maher replaced Logan Roy as Prime Minister, but the Emperor was on a state visit to Fuerteventura, Spain, at that time, leaving the Prime Minister with total control over the nation. When the Emperor returned to the nation, he decided that it was time for the country to be restructured again, and that the Kolniari Sector was at a high risk of breaking into all out war, so he formed the Kolniaric Union, an alliance for all nations in the Kolniari Sector, to unite the region and prevent micronational war from occurring.

Emperor Aaron I decided that the term for Prime Ministers of the nation was too short, and extended the term length to one month. He also Decided that Donkrea would be sold for Δ100 to Another Micronation. Nations will be allowed to purchase Donkrea in August 2022, and bidding ends in December 2022. If no countries bid, Donkrea will be Annexed by the Sprinske Empire

New flag of the Sprinske Empire (7 August 2022 - present)

The Sprinske Empire changed it’s flag on 7 August 2022 to a new design by Oxocero after the previous flag fell out of favour. The new design was considered as a major improvement by Emperor Aaron I, who called the original design ‘an eyesore’. The new design is much more popular in the nation itself and will begin to replace the old design in all official documents. The old flag will remain in historical archives as the flag used during the Sprinske Revolution and Sprinske Civil War respectively, And older MicroBall satire will keep the original flag for historical accuracy. This is the biggest change of the improvement era, along with the adaptation of a new calendar system, the Sprinske Calendar. The old flag’s colour scheme remains on the flag of the Kolniaric Union, which is The de facto Flag of the Kolniari Sector itself, and it still appears in the top left corner of the flag of Rio De Sprinska, but this is due to change.

International Era

A few hours after The flag Change, on 7 August 2022, the Sprinske Empire entered diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Salanda, and Emperor Aaron I was granted citizenship of Salanda. This started the International Era, Unlike the Improvement Era which focused on improving the nation internally, the International Era focuses on improving relations with other micronations, and expanding the nation’s influence in the wider micronational community. On 11 August 2022, the Sprinske Empire formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Cadoria, followed by an alliance with the Republic of Victor on 13 August 2022. During the early period of the International Era, the nation joined the Alliance of the Micronations as an observer, and also applied to the Grand Unified Micronational for Observership, but it was declined.

On 17 August 2022, Emperor Aaron I met with General Zachary of West Sprinska to sign the Treaty of Rio De Sprinske and officially end the Sprinske Civil War. The treaty was signed at 11:12, but due to Sprinske customs, the treaty didn’t go into effect until 12:00. Only minutes after the treaty was signed, the Sprinske Empire’s August 2022 Prime Ministerial Elections took place, and sitting Prime Minister Masyn Maher did not run for re-election, so Matteo Catania was elected as the new Prime Minister. The country then tried to become a bit more democratic, and had the public decide what they wanted the National Animal to be, with the animal needing to be something that would stand as a symbol of the nation’s strength. Early polling showed that an alligator was the top option, but the major cities of Spritsnasque, Shedhill or Rio De Sprinska had not voted yet. By the time all of those cities had voted, an alligator wasn’t even in the top five, and the two most popular options were a wolf and a cobra snake. A wolf was a slightly more popular option, and was selected as the national animal, but the cobra snake was also very popular, and earned a place on the coat of arms.

On 18 August 2022, from the remains of the Democratic Republic of Sprinska came the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinska, a new nation created by the Treaty of Rio De Sprinska. The new nation is led by Zachary Stewart, the former King of the Sprinske Communist Republic and the General of West Sprinska, but this time, he wanted to Establish good relations with the other nations of the Kolniari Sector, So the new nation joined the Kolniaric Union in an attempt to improve relations with the Sprinske Empire and Donkrea, and even made Sprinske one of the three official languages of the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinska and Joined the Sprinske Empire in preserving the Kolniaric Languages.

Coup Threat

Following the Treaty of Rio De Sprinska, some of the nation’s government members began to suspect each other of plotting a coup, the former Prime Minister, Masyn Maher, believed that the Commander of the Army was plotting against the Emperor, and was planning to make it look like the Prime Minister, Matteo Catania, was behind the uprising, so the Emperor asked the Commander of the Army who he believed was behind the coup, knowing that he was staging a coup if he blamed the Prime Minister, but instead, he blamed the former Prime Minister, this led to 5 days of suspicion amongst government officials until the Emperor called a meeting, and told both the former Prime Minister and Commander of the Army to explain their cases against each Other, eventually ending in the Conclusion that there was no coup At all.

Second Micronational War on Terror

During the coup threat, one of the nation’s citizens vandalised the nation’s MicroWiki page and was deported, he then formed a terrorist organisation known as the BDA (Bomb & Destruction Association) and warned that there would be more attacks on the Sprinske Empire and the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinska, despite being a communist group itself, due to the nation’s alliance with the Sprinske Empire. In response to this, on 24 August 2022, the Sprinske Empire declared the Second Micronational War on Terror, with the focus of targeting Micronational terrorists, but also declaring war on macronational terrorist groups such as the Taliban and ISIS, but they had no intention to actually attack these groups.

A few hours after the Sprinske Empire started the war, the Principality of Kaetania decided to join the war on Sprinske’s side, along with the Great Empire of Gamerland. On the other side of the war, the Republic of Mootugal declared war on Sprinska and decided to back the terrorists. They demanded that the Sprinske Empire surrender, but on 25 August 2022, Emperor Aaron I informed them that the nation would never surrender, especially to a terrorist-supporting nation. The People's Democratic Republic of Sprinska also decided to join the war as they were also under attack from the BDA and to support their ally. Word was also sent out to Donkrea, but there has been no response as of yet.

On 26 August 2022, it was discovered that many prominent figures in the government of the Sprinske Empire had secretly joined the BDA. This included the Prime Minister, Leading to the Emperor dissolving the government and declaring a temporary dictatorship to Prevent the Prime Minister from being able to use his powers. There was still freedom of speech and other human rights in The nation during that Period, but the government no longer existed and the Emperor had absolute control, this period ended when Kayleigh Craig was appointed as Prime Minister and the government was reinstated.

Battle of Yeltsingrad

On 29 August 2022, both the Sprinske Empire and PDRS began a campaign of trying to remove the BDA from the northern region in the Sprinske Empire. Their Strongest presence was in the city of Yeltsingrad, the most northern city in the Sprinske Empire, and New Arkhangelsk, a major city of the PDRS. The attack was meticulously planned by both countries as they planned to bring new weapons to the battlefield. The Sprinske Empire introduced the ‘Sting MK1’ which is a simple piece of medium-ranged artillery made from paper and elastic named due to the stinging sensation felt by its targets. Eight examples were supposed to see combat at Yeltsingrad, including three for the PDRS, but the Emperor left most of the Sting MK1s in Rio De Sprinska bringing only one example to the battlefield.

One of the main parts of the Sprinske Empire’s plan was to confuse the BDA and make them think that the attack would come directly from the hill, When they were actually going to go through the bushes and attack the BDA from behind, but the battle soon became very disorganised As the Sprinske Empire’s forces couldn’t get through the bushes, and the only Sting MK1 got lost amongst the plants. Eventually, they were forced to abandon the plan and attack from the hill, which the BDA expected. At the same time, the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinska had taken most of the BDA’s southern claims, and they eventually began to move north, but when their army arrived, they found a very disorganised attack from the Sprinske Empire occurring, but eventually both nations managed to gain the upper hand as most of the BDA’s members had surrendered and switched sides. The battle Ended in victory for the Sprinske Empire and PDRS, and the BDA were completely gone from Yeltsingrad.

The next day, on 30 August 2022, the city of Yeltsingrad was renamed to Gorbachevgrad when the Emperor was informed of Mikhail Gorbachev’s death as a Mark of respect, and a memorial was created by citizens.

The BDA surrendered on 5 September 2022, leading to the PDRS withdrawing from the Second Micronational War on Terror, but the Sprinske Empire confirmed that it would Stay in the war until Slivuna and all other targets were defeated, and no more micronational terrorist groups active.

Great Kolniaric War Scandal

On 21 September 2022, Emperor Aaron I held an economic experiment to determine the value of the Sprinske Delta by offering citizens an item worth £2, giving them some Deltas, and asking them to pay what they thought it was worth. In this experiment, it was discovered that Δ1=£4, but during the experiment, he gave Δ11 to the Mafia Republic to help them start growing their nation. About an hour later, he was informed by an agent of the Sprinske Intelligence Agency that the President of the Mafia Republic was going to create counterfeit currency and crash the Sprinske Delta, which would cause an economic disaster for the Sprinske Empire and the rest of the Kolniaric Union. This claim by the agent was a lie, but it was unknown at the time, so when Emperor Aaron I told King Niall I of Alba Nuadh about the impending crash, Alba Nuadh declared war on the Mafia Republic. Sprinska quickly followed, and the BalCasMed Alliance held an emergency assembly due to the war. They determined that, as the war was declared by Sprinska and its ally, it was not grounds for the alliance to go to war, therefore the nations condemned the Mafia Republic for trying to crash the currency, but did not get involved. Then, the Union of the Northern Alliance also held a meeting to discuss the war, and they voted to stay out of it at first, but eventually changed their minds and decided instead to send aid to Sprinska.

The next day, the President of the Mafia Republic was informed of the war by Emperor Aaron I, and immediately began negotiations to end the war. Both nations Began investigating the cause of the war, and eventually, they found out that the agent had a personal Dislike of The Mafia Republic’s leader and wanted to eradicate that country from existence, with this information, the Sprinske Empire and Mafia Republic decided that the war had to end, and both signed the Treaty of Meli, which ended the war. The Mafia Republic Added in a term that the Sprinske Empire would have to remove its Military leader immediately, this came after a military protest earlier that day which demanded that the military leader Resign, which he refused to do, some speculate that this term was requested by the Emperor in order to regain the support of the military.

War in Seitnam

On 1 November 2022, the Duchy of Seitnam was created after a purchase of land, but the new nation quickly was ruled as a rogue state by the Sprinske Empire, Catanese Republic and the Union of the Free after flipping its flag on discord, which is the nation’s war flag. It was then revealed that Seitnam planned to invade the Republic of Pekatan, and also discovered that they wanted to invade the Union of the Free, so the Kolniaric Union made the decision to invade. The invasion started on 10 November 2022, planned to be split into 3 stages that would last until 14 November 2022.

Second Kolniaric War and Dormancy

On 12 January 2023, in the aftermath of the Kolniaric War, Emperor Aaron I abdicated for Several reasons, including that he no longer felt Interested in leading the nation due to the constant repetition. He was succeeded by ‘Emperor Blair I’ who was an alternative account of Zachary Stewart on Discord and was trying to sabotage the nation, he immediately made it his intention to gain the citizen’s approval by creating peace with the Second Federal Republic of Free Scotland, whom the Sprinske Empire Had been at war with just a day prior. Unsurprisingly, he succeeded as ‘Emperor Blair I’ of Sprinska and zachary Stewart are the same person.

zachary revealed had been his plan ever since the creation of the Union of the Free. zachary and his alt tried to make the Republic of Donkrea a communist state, which resulted in Taoiseach Aaron refusing and threatening to take military control over Donkrea to prevent Communism. Zachary Stewart, his alt, and the Prime Minister of Asworl began discussing the possibility of uniting the countries and Recreating the Sprinske Communist Republic. Emperor Emeritus Aaron I released a statement into the news, where he stated that, if Zachary tried to make the Sprinske Empire to join the 2nd Sprinske Communist Republic, he’d start a revolution and declare Rio De Sprinska and Shedhill’s independence. Prime Minister Green quickly confirmed support, and ten minutes later, Rio De Sprinska and Shedhill declared independence as the Sprinske Republic. Emperor Emeritus Aaron I then declared himself as the Kaiser of Sprinska to dispute the ‘Emperor’ and his power over the nation by claiming to be the legitimate monarch, and ‘Emperor Blair I’ then announced that he would be joining the 2nd Sprinske Communist Republic, before telling the nation that he was actually Zachary Stewart and he had just dissolved their nation. This dissolution was illegal however, as the Emperor didn’t have the power to Dissolve the nation. Until May 2023, this was believed to be the end of the Sprinske Empire, but when Aaron I of Kaltarsia was reading the constitution again, He realised that the dissolution was illegal and therefore the Sprinske Empire continues to exist.

Kaiser Aaron I then released the following statement after the beginning of the Second Kolniaric War:

We will march through Zachary’s capital proudly waving our orange, black and red banner. Mark my words

Return to activity and changes of leadership

On 12 May 2023, Emperor Aaron II ascended to the throne after it was discovered that the Sprinske Empire still exists, and it was merged with Aaron II’s nation to continue the existence of the Sprinske Empire in the land formerly occupying North Sprinska. Aaron II created the Scerō language which was official alongside Sprinske and Scots. Sprinska was sidelined as Scerō became the main micronational constructed language, as Emperor Aaron II decided to give all announcements in English, Scottish Gaelic and Scerō. The nation changed its flag to a new design, a horizontal tricolour of black at the top, dark green in the middle, and white at the bottom. The flag also featured the white outline of a snake in the top left corner of the flag in the black area. Emperor Aaron II enacted some policies described by Emperor Emeritus Aaron I as 'Callumist'[2]. Emperor Aaron II deleted Discord and was therefore unable to run the nation, so on 21 July 2023, the nation held an election for the new Emperor as the previous one hadn’t chosen an heir, and Emperor Green I officially succeeded Aaron II.

Return of Emperor Aaron I

After Emperor Green I Ascended to the throne, the nation remained somewhat inactive. On 24 August 2023, the nation’s founder And first Emperor, Aaron I, made an offer to trade Dalrigia for Sprinska. Green I accepted, and became High King of Dalrigia, whilst Aaron I became Emperor of the Sprinske Empire again. Emperor Aaron I began making a new server for the Sprinske Empire on Discord, as the one that was used under Emperor Aaron II could not be used as no one had administration permissions. He also brought corn to the Kolniari Free State and the northern parts of the Sprinske Empire, where the nation is now growing corn along with the Mafia Republic and Pekatan, who are also involved in the project.

In November 2023, it was announced that the Sprinske Empire and Tsardom of Kaltarsia would merge after a referendum held in Kaltarsia and the people voted unanimously for the merger. Aaron I, the head of state for both nations, announced that the merger would take place on 26 November 2023, as that would mark the 20th anniversary of Concorde’s final flight.

Politics and Government

Government System

The Sprinske Empire was originally an absolute monarchy, the Emperor held 100% control, but it eventually became a constitutional monarchy, which it remains to this day. The citizens elect a Prime Minister whose job is to represent the people. Due to the small population, a lot can be done In a short Period of time. Laws can be voted on and passed into law in 2 minutes, as so much can be done, the term length for a Prime Minister is one month, but they can run for re-election as many times as they want. The Emperor can call a vote of Confidence in the Prime Minister at any time if he believes they are not competent, if there is evidence of the PM breaking the law, the Emperor can force them to resign.

Elections can only be cancelled when there is a war going on and the Emperor decides that elections are not a priority and that time should be spent on more important matters, this has only ever happened once, during the Second Micronational War on Terror after the Prime Minister was discovered to be a member of the BDA, resulting in a two day long ‘emergency dictatorship’ in which the Emperor had full control until he appointed a new Prime Minister.

Law and Order

When the Sprinske Communist Republic fell, as the Sprinske Empire was a brand new nation which planned to erase much of its predecessor’s laws and replace Them, but as the country had just came out of Revolution, there was a lot of work that had to be done to build a legal system. The next few days were declared by the newly-proclaimed Emperor as ‘days of reconstruction’ in which the nation would get rid of the old nation’s influence and build its own. When the Sprinske Communist Republic surrendered, the Emperor and the revolutionaries went on a campaign of destroying all symbols of communism left in the nation, including the original flag of the Sprinske Communist Republic of which only one existed. On 31 October 2020, the Sprinske Empire had no constitution or any form of structured government, only the word of the Emperor. That same day, the country granted the Province of Donkrea independence as the Imperial Republic of Donkrea, and began focusing on structuring its military next. As the predecessor had no police force, the army had to enforce laws, and for the first month of the Sprinske Empire’s existence, it would remain the same, as the first few days were spent structuring the military to prevent another armed rebellion or attack by the Gorralic Communist Union. Eventually, sometime in November 2020, the Sprinske Empire created its first constitution, the nation was originally an absolute monarchy and had a law making all forms of communism illegal, along with all forms of fascism.

The Sprinske Empire’s original constitution was lost during the Sprinske Civil War, but the nation did not try to recreate it until the war was over. By December, The Democratic Republic of Sprinska had effectively Disappeared, but the Sprinske Empire fell into a period of dormancy with little to no activity in the nation until June, but the second constitution was created in June, and it changed a lot about how the nation is ran.

Currency and economy

The currency of the Sprinske Empire is the Δ (Delta), divided into δ100 (Subdelta). The symbol for subdelta is just the lower case version of the Greek letter.

1Δ= £4 (USD: $4.51)

1δ= £0.04 (USD: Roughly $0.045)


The Sprinske Delta (SPD) is also used in the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinska and The Catanese Republic, as well as being the de facto currency of West Sprinska, despite the fact that West Sprinske’s Official currency was the Sprinske Æ, but it was considered worthless and the Delta was mostly used.

During Liz Truss' time as Prime Minister of the UK, Sprinska considered switching the price of the Delta from £4 to $4 as it seemed like the dollar was about to overtake the pound. The plan was set to go into action as soon as the dollar overtook the pound, but the Pound strengthened Slightly in the days that followed, and Has since recuperated since the resignation of Liz Truss.

Industry and Exports

The biggest industry in the Sprinske Empire is the shipbuilding, very similar to the city surrounding it, as Glasgow is a city built on shipbuilding. This Micronation also produces aircraft and aluminium, despite this, the aircraft and ships are primarily made from paper. The biggest business in the country is Eagle Aircraft Corporation, Which was nationalised in December 2021, as the final C-102 Bomber was Built.

Armed Forces of the Sprinske Empire

The Sprinske Empire has the strongest armed forces in the Kolniari Sector. The army has 8 active soldiers, and an additional 6 reserves, including the Emperor and some major government members, and it has long been a tradition in Kolniari for the leader of the nation to lead it into battle, and it was the same in the Sprinske Communist Republic, the Democratic Republic of Sprinska and the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinska, and it is the same in the Sprinske Empire.

The navy is the strongest of the armed forces, the Navy has one boat and over 300 paper battleships that have proven effective in the Sprinske Civil War, with water sprayers being mounted to sink enemy ships. These ships have also been capable of firing other projectiles, but none of them have been more than an inch in length and do not go fast enough to do any real damage, this was first used on the HMS Osprey, which fired an inch-long Orange projectile that could cause some damage to enemy ships if it hit them in an already weakened part of the hull, such as Water damaged areas. Osprey did actually manage to sink some ships during the Sprinske Civil War, and had the best technology of the fleet until she was rendered obsolete after the HMS Nighthawk was complete, and subsequently scrapped a few days later.

Sprinske Culture

Sprinske Culture is perhaps the most unique of the Kolniari Sector. Kolniaric nations mostly blend together Eastern European culture and Celtic culture. In the Sprinske Empire, it’s more of a mix of Celtic culture and Napoleonic France. Even the government system is based on Napoleonic France.

Languages

The Sprinske Empire has 3 official languages, English, Sprinske and Scots. Scots is the most widely used language in the nation, and is spoken by about 95% of the total population. Despite being spoken by 100% of the population, English is not used as much as Scots, and even official government papers use the Sprinske dialect of Scots, which isn’t that different from the Glasgow dialect, with the only difference being a few additional words borrowed from Hiberno-English and a few Sprinske words.

Sprinske itself is one of the official languages, but it is not as widely spoken as English Or Scots, and is only used by the government. The Sprinske Language (Langa de Sprinska) Was created in the Sprinske Communist Republic by the Prime Minister, Now the Emperor of the Sprinske Empire.

Revolution Calendar

The Sprinske Empire uses two of its own unique calendar systems, the Revolution Calendar is similar in some ways to the Japanese calendar, as it gives names to the eras. The Revolution Calendar gives names to each era, an era is defined as: ‘The period of which an Emperor of Sprinske reigns’. The current era under Emperor Aaron I is the Revolution Era. The Revolution year starts on 30 October every year, if power was to change, when 30 October came around, then the new era would officially begin. Eras are named as soon as an Emperor steps in, but the current era is the only exception, decided by the Emperor himself nearly a year into his term. The current year is Revolution 3, on 30 October 2023, the Revolution year will officially change to Revolution 4.

Sprinske Calendar

The Sprinske Calendar is the other calendar used by the Sprinske Empire, not nearly as complex as the Revolution Calendar, the Sprinske Calendar is exactly 65 years behind the Gregorian Calendar, so the year 2024 is 1959, but the date does not change, so 30 October 2020 in the Sprinske Calendar would be 30 October 1955. The Sprinske Calendar is the more widely used calendar in the nation, with the Revolution Calendar only being used for important occasions.

Intermicronational Relations

The Sprinske Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of all foreign relations. It is led by Emperor Aaron I himself, and has the duty to represent the country on the world stage, establish trade and defence partnerships, negotiate peace treaties, war declarations and recognition of micronations and macronations.

Alliances and Unions

The Sprinske Empire is the founding nation of the Kolniaric Union, and as a result has positive relations with its neighbours within the Kolniari Sector. In the region of Southern Sprinske, which is located on the Rhins of Galloway Peninsula, the nation has a small bit of Coastline on the Irish Sea, And as a partially-coastal nation, it became a member of the BalCasMed Alliance on 5 September 2022.

  2. 'Callumist' is a term used in the Kolniari Sector to refer to a collection of political beliefs or laws which may seem random or out of place on purpose as satire. It’s named after Callum Davidson, the former Prime Minister of Seitnam, who banned things such as 'Walking a caterpillar at 3AM on a Thursday.' Callumist policies are usually non-serious and used as a form of political satire in the Kolniari Sector.
