Despotate of New Herakleia



The Heptarchy of New Herakleia is a secular and libertarian micronation that secessed from Greece in 2010.

History
The Heptarchy of New Herakleia was established in 2006 by seven greek citizens who "wanted to live by their own right and ways". Over the next 2 years the level of self government evolved into a practical provisional government with its own local costums in the village of Nea Heraklia in Chalkidiki.

In 2009 ideas of secession emerged leading to a more organized decentralized government.

In 2010 a decleration of independance and a constitution were signed.

Government
The government of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia evolved through the years into a multifactional system of laws, simple in principal following a decentralized approach to the rulings of the upper house (Council of the Seven,Βουλή των Επτά) and its supporting lower house (Assembly of the People,Ekklisia tou Laou).

With the upper house responsible for creating and enforcing the laws the lower house mainly acts as a court of law and at any time,exept in some constitutional revisioning, has the power to veto or even edit the decisions of the upper house.

Citizenship
Although the borders are open to anyone a business passport can be issued to anyone who wishes to take on citizenship.Candidates will be processed by the Bureau of Foreigners although no standard qualifications are required.
