Ameroslavia

Ameroslavia, officially the Kingdom of Ameroslavia, is a micronation located in South America, bordered by Brazil. The micronation was founded on 01 October 2021 by King Lenart of Ameroslavia, who later dropped the royal title to pursue other micronational projects and embrace other political objectives. Ameroslavia was dormant until restoration promoted by Karnia-Ruthenia under the auspices of the Derivatist Program of the Conference of Santiago. Using the Nomadic Micronation Theory, the original claim in the United State of America was abandoned and the restoration of Ameroslavia happened in Floriano, Piauí. The new territory was formerly a foreign possession of the House of Götzö-Thomaz-Rocha that once returned to the imperial family after a time rented to the son of Archduke George of Karnia, was studied to be more than just a residence, but a micronation in its own right. The crown was offered to Ari, Archduke of Karnia, former King of Ruthenia and father of Oscar I, who accepted the throne on behalf of his father, the owner of the property where Ameroslavia would be installed.

Etimology
The name Ameroslavia, developed by King Lenart, combine Amero, related to America, with slavia, that is a general term for an area inhabited by Slavs. So, Ameroslavia can be understood as "an area inhabited by Slavs in America".

Establishment
The concept behind of Ameroslavia was developed by Lenart (or Lawerence) of Ameroslavia, its founder and first King, who previously created several micronations, including Lodomeria, that turned to be the origin of Ameroslavia. Working in micronationalism on Twitter since August 2021, he made several projects, changing from monarchist to socialists projects that eventually, at one time, transformed the Lodomerian Democratic Republic ‎founded on 05 August 2021 into the Kingdom of Lodomeria at some point between its foundation and 26 September 2021‎, because on 30 September 2021, the then Kingdom of Lodomeria was transformed into the Empire of Ameroslavia, idealized as the micronation to unite all Americans with Slavic ancestry. Despite its general acclaim in micronational community, the founder opted to leave the throne and pursued different goals, changing the project and establishing some micronations that eventually became the People's Republic of Rivala, a socialist micronation. The Ameroslavian throne became vacant by some moment after 03 November 2021 until the restoration attempt carried by the Karno-Ruthenian government.

Restoration
Using the Nomadic Micronation Theory, the original claim in the United State of America was abandoned and the restoration of Ameroslavia happened in Floriano, State of Piauí, Brazil. The new territory was formerly a foreign proprierty of the House of Götzö-Thomaz-Rocha called Antonvilla, that when returned to the imperial family after a time rented to the son of Archduke George of Karnia, was studied to be more than just a residence, but a micronation in its own right. By 21 July 2022, Oscar I contacted the now President of the People's Republic of Rivala asking for his approval for the restoration and to give him guarantee that he would give him all the credit for all the work done by him. Without answer but being faithful to his proposal to the former emperor, Ameroslavia was to be restored as a kingdom and still considering Lenart as their former sovereign, using the heraldry work made by him with some adaptations and preserving his credits on it and even naming the capital as Lenartgrad. Also, an alternative name was thought in case the former ruler ask for changes. Restored under the auspices of the Derivatist Program of the Conference of Santiago, the micronation had its crown offered to Ari, Archduke of Karnia, former King of Ruthenia and father of Oscar I, who accepted the crown on behalf of his father and was the one behind the initiative to restore Ameroslavia and the offering a crown for his father. In return, Oscar I eventually dropped his rights to succeed in the New Southern Rhine and Pommerland, becoming the Crown Prince of Ameroslavia. However, the legitimacy of the government was still in question. From the first contact in 21 July until the first hours of 28 July, the reign of Ari I could be challenged by his predecessor, but his rule was legitimized by the former king through a message sent to Oscar I, in which not only Lenart I approved the succession, but also wished good luck to the new government to "take the name [Ameroslavia] further than I have and provide greater glory to it".

Politics
The Kingdom of Ameroslavia can be defined as a unitary constitutional monarchy and sometimes referred to as a kind of enlightened despotism. The monarch, titled as King, is both head of state and head of government of the nation and his position is hereditary. The King may appoint a Prime Minister to acts as a co-head of government with a national council. Legislative power is exercised ny the monarchy in case of vacancy of the government or through the National Council under the sanction or vetoing of the King. Judicial authority also is exercised by the King's Office.

Internal affairs
Ameroslavia is an unitary state directly administrated by the King, and is totally comprised by private property owned by the King: Antonvilla (seat of the King), the courtyard (that along Antonvilla forms the capital, Lenartgrad) and the park (the rest of the property that forms Ameroslavia).

Foreign policy
The foreign policy consists of non-intervention, self-determination, international cooperation and the peaceful settlement of conflicts. The King himself is the supreme authority on foreign policy. The foreign policy is a by-product of the country's microposition as a new and poorly-populated micronation with few government officials. The country relates itself mostly with other micronations at the Brazilian sector. Ameroslavian foreign policy has generally been based on the principles of multilateralism, peaceful dispute settlement, and non-intervention in the affairs of other countries.



Military
The kingdom does not have any military, although Karnia-Ruthenia provided the occupation of Ameroslavia under the command of the King and the army he commanded, the Second Army, in case of need, and it relies mostly on the Brazilian police system (State of Piauí Military Police). In any case, the military presence is de facto only means of cerimonial protection and defensive virtual warfare.

Geography
Surrounded by Floriano, Piauí, in Brazil, Ameroslavia is not far from the Brazilian state of Maranhão on the west and the United Provices of Mauritia. The Parnaíba River forms the boundary with Maranhão and lies almost entirely within the basin of the Parnaíba and its tributaries. Part of the state on the Atlantic coast and along the lower Parnaíba is low, swampy, and historically malarial. South of this the country rises gradually to a plateau with open campos, where most of Ruthenia is located.

Ecoregion
The sandy soils along the Atlantic coast are home to the restingas, low evergreen forests adapted to the nutrient-poor conditions and is also home to the Maranhão Babaçu forests, which extend westward into Maranhão. This ecoregion is dominated by stands of the Babaçu palm.

Climate
The climate is hot and humid, with high day-time temperatures and cool nights.
