The '''Islamic Internet Republic''' (''Islamitische Internetrepubliek'', ''IIR'') was the successor state of the Republic of the Netherlands (''Republiek der Nederlanden''), which in turn was the successor state of the Virtual United Provinces (''Virtuele Verenigde Provinciën''). There's currently a government-in-exile, holding residence in the [[Mercury|Republic of Mercury]].
The '''Islamic Internet Republic''' ''(Islamitische Internetrepubliek'', ''IIR)'' is the successor state of the [[Netherlands|Republic of the Netherlands]] ''(Republiek der Nederlanden)''. It was restored in 2020 and later renamed to [[New Batavia]].


The nation was on [[Micras]] from 26 September 2009 to 20 November 2011.
The nation was on [[Micras]] from September 21, 2009 to November 20, 2011, and again from October 31, 2020 onward (see for more information on the [[Claims of New Batavia on Micras|Islamic Internet Republic's claims on Micras]]).


==Government==
==History==
The head of state is called Sadr, and is elected for a six months term. The first and only Sadr was [[Saladin]].  
The Second Republic had a tendency towards inactivity. This has often been attributed to the country's lack of distinct identity viz-à-viz [[Flanders]] and [[Batavia]]. There also grew other tensions, especially between [[Frans]] and [[Nihill Romez]].


The sadr appoints the Grand Vizier (Grootvizier), in whom executive power is vested, with the approval of the Majlis-al-Shoera. The Grand Vizier, then, appoints the other members of the executive, called viziers.
In May 2010, the country witnessed a 'revolution': President Romez was apparently removed by a coup, with the coupists abusing forum powers, temporarily prohibiting him from accession to the country's forum. The allegations of this being a coup were denied by [[Saladin]], a newcomer whom Romez believed to be the same person as Frans and whom he believed to have been behind the recent events. Romez, in turn, was being accused of being a [[Batavia]]n mole, always striving to undermine the Republic.


Legislative power is vested in the Majlis-al-Shoera, an elected body, comprised of 100 members (or, more correctly: 100 votes, distributed amongst its members.) Its sessions are presided over by the Sadr.
In any case, Romez' (forced) absence allowed for Prime Minister Vermussen to assume presidential powers, and call for new presidential and pariamentary elections, whereby Saladin became President and the new parliament was composed of Frans and Vermussen. This new parliament quickly discussed and approved a new constitution, which was subsequently approved by referendum, installing the '''Islamic Internet Republic'''.


Before a law is passed, it needs the advice of the Islamic Diwan, although this advice is non-binding. The Islamic Diwan is composed of ordinary members (apppointed by the Majlis-al-Shoera at the Sadr's proposal), extraordinary members (the former heads of state) and coopted members (chosen by the ordinary and extramordinary members). At least half of the ordinary members need to be muslim.
There were two important political parties: the [[Islamic Revolutionary Party]] and [[Fresxa Komenci]]. Next to a lot of foreign intrest by the media, there was one national newspaper: [[Al-Jumhuriya|Jumhuriya]].


Judiciary power resides with the independent Supreme Court (Hooggerechtshof) and lower courts. Judges are appointed for life to ensure their independence.
Personal antagonism between Frans and Nihill Romez reached a climax in the months after that. Tzipi, vizier of finances, robbed the entire treasury. The money was transferred to a Batavian account. The government fell, but new elections resulted in a stalemate. Government formation was extremely difficult. Sadr Saladin announced to go into exile on July 4th, 2011. He was followed by the resigning Grand Vizier, Xander, on July 6th.


===Religion===
The claim on MICRAS was cancelled on November 20th, 2011. Membership to the [[MTO]] was withdrawn on December 20th of that year.
The Islamic Internet Republic's official religion is islam. Article 1 of its constitution states that sovereignty belongs to Allah, and that the Republic's 'governorship' (stadhouderschap) is to be executed as stipulated by the constitution. Article 46 stipulates that the Quran is the highest law of the land, above any other, including the constitution.  


However, all are regarded as equal before the law, regardless of creed. Freedom of religion is both constitutionally and quranically guaranteed.
=== Government-in-Exile ===
[[File:Islamic Revolutionary Party.png|150px|thumb|left|IRP Logo]]
On September 20th, 2013, the '''Government-in-Exile''' was offered sanctuary by the [[Mercury|Republic of Mercury]]. The meetings are held in the [[Lucerne_(city)|City of Lucerne]], which was originally founded by the [[New Batavia (province)|New Batavian province]] during the era of the First Republic. Somewhere along the line [[Frans]] joined the exiles. On September 21st 2013 Frans was appointed Grand Vizier of the Government-in-exile.


==History==
In the fall of 2020, the Government-in-Exile saw a rapid succession of Grand Viziers due to the [[Islamic Revolutionary Party#Restoration Crisis|Restoration Crisis]] within the IRP. The party was split into two wings on the question whether and how to restore the Third Republic and resettle the lands on Micras.
===First Republic===
The '''Virtual United Provinces''' (Virtuele Verenigde Provinciën or VVP) were founded on January 14th, 2007 under the leadership of [[Frans]], and were given their constitution on January 20th, when both the [[Antwerp|Free State of Antwerp]] as well as the [[Ghent|Free State of Ghent]] had signed the Union of Utrecht. It was a federal state, with three provinces with an active system of government: Antwerp, Ghent and the [[New Batavia|Federal Kingdom of New Batavia]] (Bondskoninkrijk Nieuw-Batavië). Those provinces which did not have a sufficient population level, were managed by the central authorities as territories (generaliteitslanden).


The federal level featured a presidential system. Executive power was vested in the Stadtholder. Due to its short existance, it had only one Stadtholder: Frans.
=== Third Republic Restoration ===
[[File:Redouanvanlucerne.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Grand Vizier Redouan van Lucerne]]
On October 31, 2020 the [[MCS]] accepted a claim to resettle the ancient island of New Batavia. On that same day, [[Redouan van Lucerne]] was re-appointed to the office of Grand Vizier. He called all exiles back to the homeland.


It had a bicameral legislature, the Lower House representing the provinces proportionate to their size, and the Upper House having one representative for each active province.
After the elections of a new [[Majlis-al-Shoera]] and a [[Sadr]], a new constitution was adopted. It was approved by a [[2020 New Batavian constitutional referendum|referendum in November 2020]], establishing the Fourth Republic.


The United Provinces were one of the founding members of the [[NEVO|Dutch Treaty Organisation]].
==Government==
{{Era box 3 (NBA)}}
The head-of-state is called Sadr, and is elected for a six months term. The first and only Sadr was [[Saladin]].  


===Second Republic===
The Sadr appoints the [[Grand Vizier of New Batavia|Grand Vizier]] (''Grootvizier''), in whom executive power is vested, with the approval of the [[Majlis-al-Shoera]]. The Grand Vizier, then, appoints the other members of the executive, called viziers.
However, the federal system soon proved to be unworkable, largely due to the low levels of population of the provinces and territories, forcing the central authorities to assume more and more power. On June 11th, 2008, the country became a unitary state under the name of the '''Republic of the Netherlands''' (Republiek der Nederlanden). The Republic became a parliamentary democracy, with a unitary legislature. The title of the head-of-state was changed to Voorzitter van de Republiek (President, or, more literally, Chairman of the Republic), who would appoint a Prime Minister as head-of-government.


The Republic was threatened by several existential crises. Not only did Flemish president [[Hieronymus Erasmus]] issue a declaration of annexation, apparently without the backing of his government and with little seriousness, but more fundamentally there was the issue of the country's tendency towards inactivity. This has often been attributed to the country's lack of distinct identity viz-à-viz [[Flanders]] and [[Batavia]].
Legislative power is vested in the Majlis-al-Shoera, an elected body, comprised of 100 members (or, more correctly: 100 votes, distributed among its members). Its sessions are presided over by the Sadr.


There also grew other tensions, especially between Frans and Nihill Romez. Not only did Frans accuse Romez of neglecting the use of the country's national wiki, thereby abandoning, in Frans' view, the second founding principle of the country (besides federalism, which had already been abandoned previously), he considered the nation to be lacking seriousness and refered to it as a 'banana republic'.
Before a law is passed, it needs the advice of the [[Islamic Diwan of New Batavia|Islamic Diwan]], although this advice is non-binding. The Islamic Diwan is composed of ordinary members (apppointed by the Majlis-al-Shoera at the Sadr's proposal), extraordinary members (the former heads-of-state) and co-opted members (chosen by the ordinary and extraordinary members). At least half of the ordinary members need to be Muslim.


=== Third Republic ===
Judiciary power resides with the independent [[Supreme Court of New Batavia|Supreme Court]] ''(Hooggerechtshof)''. Lower courts are to be established by law. Judges are appointed for life to ensure their independence.
In May 2010, the country witnessed a 'revolution': President Romez was apparently removed by a coup, with the coupists abusing forum powers, temporarilly prohibiting him from accession to the country's forum. The allegations of this being a coup were denied by Saladin, a newcomer whom Romez believed to be the same person as Frans and whom he believed to have been behind the recent events. Romez, in turn, was being accused of being a [[Batavia]]n mole, always striving to undermine the Republic.


In any case, Romez' (forced) absence allowed for Prime Minister Vermussen to assume presidential powers, and call for new presidential and pariamentary elections, whereby Saladin became President and the new parliament was composed of Frans and Vermussen. This new parliament quickly discussed and approved a new constitution, which was subsequently approved by referendum, installing the '''Islamic Internet Republic'''.
===Religion===
The Islamic Internet Republic's official religion is Islam. Article 1 of its constitution states that sovereignty belongs to Allah, and that the Republic's 'stewardship' ''(stadhouderschap)'' is to be executed as stipulated by the constitution. Article 46 stipulates that the Quran is the highest law of the land, above any other, including the constitution.  


There were two important political parties: the [[Islamic Revolutionary Party]] and [[Fresxa Komenci]]. Next to a lot of foreign intrest by the media, there was one national newspaper: [[Jumhuriya]].
However, all are regarded as equal before the law, regardless of creed. Freedom of religion is both constitutionally and quranically guaranteed.

== Economy ==
A micronational economy was orginally set up in the era of the First Republic. The country's currency was orginally named "florijn". After the Islamic revolution the currency was renamed to "dinar". The economy suffered heavily due to the turmoil in the Third and Fourth Republic eras.

The Islamic Internet Republic (Islamitische Internetrepubliek, IIR) is the successor state of the Republic of the Netherlands (Republiek der Nederlanden). It was restored in 2020 and later renamed to New Batavia.

The nation was on Micras from September 21, 2009 to November 20, 2011, and again from October 31, 2020 onward (see for more information on the Islamic Internet Republic's claims on Micras).

History

The Second Republic had a tendency towards inactivity. This has often been attributed to the country's lack of distinct identity viz-à-viz Flanders and Batavia. There also grew other tensions, especially between Frans and Nihill Romez.

In May 2010, the country witnessed a 'revolution': President Romez was apparently removed by a coup, with the coupists abusing forum powers, temporarily prohibiting him from accession to the country's forum. The allegations of this being a coup were denied by Saladin, a newcomer whom Romez believed to be the same person as Frans and whom he believed to have been behind the recent events. Romez, in turn, was being accused of being a Batavian mole, always striving to undermine the Republic.

In any case, Romez' (forced) absence allowed for Prime Minister Vermussen to assume presidential powers, and call for new presidential and pariamentary elections, whereby Saladin became President and the new parliament was composed of Frans and Vermussen. This new parliament quickly discussed and approved a new constitution, which was subsequently approved by referendum, installing the Islamic Internet Republic.

There were two important political parties: the Islamic Revolutionary Party and Fresxa Komenci. Next to a lot of foreign intrest by the media, there was one national newspaper: Jumhuriya.

Personal antagonism between Frans and Nihill Romez reached a climax in the months after that. Tzipi, vizier of finances, robbed the entire treasury. The money was transferred to a Batavian account. The government fell, but new elections resulted in a stalemate. Government formation was extremely difficult. Sadr Saladin announced to go into exile on July 4th, 2011. He was followed by the resigning Grand Vizier, Xander, on July 6th.

The claim on MICRAS was cancelled on November 20th, 2011. Membership to the MTO was withdrawn on December 20th of that year.

Government-in-Exile

IRP Logo

On September 20th, 2013, the Government-in-Exile was offered sanctuary by the Republic of Mercury. The meetings are held in the City of Lucerne, which was originally founded by the New Batavian province during the era of the First Republic. Somewhere along the line Frans joined the exiles. On September 21st 2013 Frans was appointed Grand Vizier of the Government-in-exile.

In the fall of 2020, the Government-in-Exile saw a rapid succession of Grand Viziers due to the Restoration Crisis within the IRP. The party was split into two wings on the question whether and how to restore the Third Republic and resettle the lands on Micras.

Third Republic Restoration

Grand Vizier Redouan van Lucerne

On October 31, 2020 the MCS accepted a claim to resettle the ancient island of New Batavia. On that same day, Redouan van Lucerne was re-appointed to the office of Grand Vizier. He called all exiles back to the homeland.

After the elections of a new Majlis-al-Shoera and a Sadr, a new constitution was adopted. It was approved by a referendum in November 2020, establishing the Fourth Republic.
