ladonia
Ladonia is a very small micronation in Sweden that was established in 1996 as the result of a court battle between the artist and sculptor Lars Vilks and local authorities over a sculpture that Vilks created, Nimis. It has approximately 17,000 citizens, but most of them live in other countries. Application for citizenship is available of Ladonia's official website, and is free.
Ladonia has a queen and a president. The current queen, Queen Carolyn, resides in the US with her family. The queen is in office for life. The current president, Christopher Matheoss, who lives in France. Election for president takes place every 3 years. Ladonia's constitution forbids a male from ever ascending the throne, and there has never been a king in Ladonian history, only queens.
The Ladonian national anthem is the sound of a stone being thrown into water, composed by Greve Jan Lothe von Eriksen. The Ladonian language has two words in it, waaaall and ÿp. Phrased Latin is the official language, but English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, German and French are also accepted in Ladonia. The currency of Ladonia is one Örtug, around 1 Euro. The Ladonian flag is a green cross on a green flag, both the same color. Since it is impossible to make out the cross due to the fact that both the cross and the background are the same color, it is considered acceptable to add a white outline of the cross when depicting the flag.
Ladonia is also a minor character in the anime series Axis Powers: Hetalia
