Holloway

The Grand Principality of Holloway is a micronation in Michigan, USA.

History
On 2/11/17, Riley Bauer and Logan Johns established the nation when, on the following day, he learned of the Republic of Molassia. After more research, he decided that a micronation would be a fun project, and, along with his friend, formed the Grand Principality of Holloway. Holloway’s first territorial claim was the Grand Duke’s estate, as well as it’s surrounding property, which gave them 2.5 acres. The next day, the Grand Duke and the Prime Minister expresses interest in claiming two islands in the Holloway Reservoir, planning to name the largest “Holloway” and the smaller “Warner”. However, as the Holloway Reservoir was frozen over at the time, they decided to wait until it thawed to launch the expedition, so they could utilise the navy.

On 1/8/17, the Principality joined the League of Mironations in order to establish contact with other micronations, as well as have mutual recognition with other micronations. A month later, the Principality received a request to join the Republic of Laurnecia in their newly-formed United Micronations of the Americas to connect all of the micronations in the macronation of America. They quickly accepted, eager to join Laurnecia on their quest.

After a brief period of exploration of the land surrounding the principality, the Grand Duke decided he had better step back into the political aspect of the micronation, and start forming alliances. Shortly after, the League of Micronations introduced the inter-micronational currency of the LoMN Numus. Hoping it would benefit Holloway’s economy, it was decided the Numus would become the national currency, with the United States Dollar being the only other currency used.

Government
The Grand Principality of Holloway has an absolute monarchy. The Grand Duke has absolute control over the country, but has a parliament of citizens, elected by the citizens. The Prime Minister is appointed by the Grand Duke, and the ministers are are appointed by the Prime Minister.

In order to have a law passed, the parliament must vote with 2/3 in favor. It will then go to the desk of the minister it concerns the most, and, if he chooses to approve, it goes to the desk of the Grand Duje for a signature. The Grand Duke can also issue decrees, which are effective immediately after being signed by the Grand Duke, but if 2/3 of the parliament consider it unjust, they may veto it.
