Empire of Colonia

Colonia is a micronation that is enclosed by Australia and other larger islands (which include the capital and the rest of the population) in the fifth dimension (essentially the dream state). It was created in 2015 with small sections of Australia and Europe selected, but since 2017 the European land claims were given back to their respective countries and the Australian enclaves were returned to the selected states of Australia (mostly Victoria). The only remaining land (in this “dimension”) in Australia is around certain areas of the Barwon River, Surf Coast and the High Country (both in Victoria, Australia).

History
In 2014, the president of Gahooulia gave a speech about his country, which at first didn’t inspire the Supreme Minister (at this point in time, The Minister was a full Australian citizen), but in the Australian School Holidays in January 2015 sometime close to midnight, the idea for a new nation called Colonia became apparent.

Over the next few days, construction and expansion of the new nation began, and diplomatic relationships were set up. Then, soon after, friends of the two nations began setting up nations, including Doveland and Julsington.

In 2016, more nations were inspired, including i2, Allania, Lavender Republic, and Hirrid. Claims in Europe were made in areas of Paris, Munich, Bay of Biscay, a large area of Scandinavia, and several areas in the British Isles. In April that year, at a school camp in Queenscliff, there was a bit of a squabble with land in a small area of a building. Colonia set up several enclaves of land there, and Doveland and Lavender Republic had set up little enclaves of their land inside Colonia’s.

In 2017 Doveland and Gahooulia “claimed” (“created”) separate islands off the Murmansk Peninsula of Russia. There were plans of creating an island for Colonia, but these were soon abandoned. Doveland also claimed a large section of Finland and all of the Murmansk Peninsula, plus St Petersburg. Gran Isla was also created that year, and that year a “cyber-war” took place between Gran Isla and Colonia (see ‘Wars and Battles’). The claims in Europe were soon abandoned, as the Minister had never actually been to these countries and these claims may have too big for the Colonian Empire.

In 2018 The Supreme Minister, as part of his schooling, was sent to a fairly remote school near the High Country. Not too far into the year, Colonia set out to claim land in the high country, after numerous hikes in the surrounding region. The President of the former nation Gran Isla created a new nation called Kreedsburg, which was based around the remote school. That year Colonia claimed the islands, based off numerous dreams occurring prior to the creation. The capital was move here, and 99.9999% of the population lives there.
