New Siekeria (Gerenian: Siekeria Nozes, Siekerian: Noves Siekeria) is a Gerenian autonomous republic, located north-west of Keltia, in the Strait of Pearls. It comprises two main islands–Severes Island (North Island), and Južes Island (South Island)–and a few smaller islands, known as a whole as the Siekerian Archipelago.
New Siekeria was founded on 3 March 2018 as home for the Siekerian People, who emigrated to Micras from planet Libertas and, like the Gerenian People, have their origin in Meeredres. Originally, the location where the settlement of Siekerians was going to take place was in Southern Apollonia; however, the Siekerian leaders rejected this plan and in late 2017 asked the Gerenian government to settle in the Siekerian Archipelago, which was at the time unclaimed territory. The first settlers arrived at the islands in early 2018 and founded the cities of Iral in Južes Island (the republic's capital city) and Mirkad in Severes Island.
