Novatainia is in the process of creating their own Wiki in conjunction with Tokidoki. It contains more detail on all the aspects listed on this page, as well as many other details not listed here. The Novatainia-Tokidoki Wiki is located here.

Establishment

Novatainia is a micronation started by King Lachlan, originally just to include his friends. It has since grown beyond this and now welcomes all interested people to join as citizens.

King Lachlan

His Royal Highness King Lachlan the First, King of Novatainia and the Territories, Defender of the Faith, Chief Justice of the High Court of Novatainia, Sovereign of the Order of Novatainia, has had a wise and gracious rule since his ascension to royalty on October 25th, 2006.

Government

Following a constitutional crisis in January, the Novatainian Constitution has been rewritten to avoid an inactive parliament. As such there are two houses. The House of Commons which every citizen is a member of and a Senate who’s members are voted in every 3 months. The Senate elections are scheduled for the first week of February, May, and the last week of August and November. The senator who receives the most voters is made the President of the Senate. (The Head of Government, immediately below the King)

All citizens also vote in the May and November elections for the Speaker of the House. The Speaker of the House is directly below the President of the Senate, and is the ultimate authority within his chamber (as the King and currently serving Senators are forbidden to enter). If the President is unable to finish his term, the Speaker takes on his role until the next election.

Culture

DZ

Without doubt, one of the most popular parts of Novatainian culture is the DZ. Founded in St. Nova, the DZ came about after it was noticed that the citizens of Novatainia enjoyed destroying each other's property. The DZ was created to facilitate this, without the worry things like 'Duty of Care' and 'Compensation'. There are only 4 rules:

• No WMD’s

• No killing people

• No shooting into the crowd

• No Magic

Breaking these rules results in a yellow card. Receiving two yellow cards in one week results in a 24 hour ban. To date there has been one red card when the King used a Nuclear weapon then argued with the referee.
