Natopia, officially the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation is a forum-based micronation with primary territorial holdings on the continent of Tapfer, on Micras. It has occupied the large island known as Tapfer Minor or Yellow Island, for all of its existence. Natopia shares borders with Alexandria and Stormark on Tapfer; Hamland, and Minarboria on Cibola; Alexandria and Pallas in the Captive Sea; Jingdao, Senya, Flanders, and Gotzborg on Apollonia; Shireroth on Benacia, and Stormark on Keltia. Athlon, the seat of the Dozan Bovic Church, is a protected sovereign nation within Natopia's internationally recognized jurisdiction. Natopia is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The Emperor is Head of State, performs ceremonial duties, controls foreign policy, and commands the military . Legislative authority is exercised by The Frenzy presided over by a Chancellor with executive prerogatives. An independent Supreme Court has ultimate judicial authority exercised in the name of the Emperor. The demesnes of Natopia have considerable local autonomy.
Natopia began as an offline community of high school friends in 2002. Continuing into 2003, Natopia claimed territory around in Missouri and operated as a secessionist micronation. Beginning around 2005, Natopia shifted its focus away from actual secessionist claims, abandoning them entirely in favor of online participation, becoming integral participants of the early MicroOlympics, and the International Association. Since then, Natopia has been a primary participant in the Micras community, or Micran Sector.
Natopia is currently a member of the Micras Treaty Organization.
