Etymology
During the First Republic Era, a number of citizens of Batavia founded the province of New Batavia (Nieuw-Batavië) and acceded to the Virtual United Provinces. The province was later dissolved, but the province continued to be named in the constitutions of the Second and Third Republic. New Batavia was also named in the original claim.
The island of New Batavia was later claimed by Mercury and renamed to Lusa. In 2013, the Government-in-Exile was offered sanctuary by Mercury. The Government held its meetings in the city of Lucerne.
The island was eventually resettled by the exiles in October 2020. The constitution of the Fourth Republic then officially renamed the nation to New Batavia.
Etymologically Batavia refers to the Germanic tribe of the Batavi (Germanic tribe). The Dutch named many places after the Batavi, including the Batavian Republic.
