=Name change= The name was changed as the nom Biokinton was resembling of the Super Mario Land boss. The micronation was judged and due to micro-peer pressure and a few pending lawsuits, had to drop the name.

Foundation
The Republic of Bokonton was founded in Bude on October 26th, 2007 by Queen Holly I. Her inspiration to start her own micronation was sparked by the Guinness Book of World Records entry on Sealand. After later research she came across articles on theBBC TV programme How to Start Your Own Country, and other micronational web info. She claimed her bedroom at first, then her surrounding house, and now owns three territories. Bokonton is currently looking into extraterrestrial real estate.

Economy
Bokonton uses Moolah, the Bokonton Dollar, which is traded inside the nation and is equivalent to 1.5 GBP. It plans to issue stamps and coinage/notes.

Ruling
Bokonton is a republic and although the Monarch has some power to make laws etc, when itcomes to contesting them everyones' vote is equal. Anyone can make a law, although it must be passed through voting and public scrutiny ect.
