Verelexia

== The Republic of Verelexia == The Republic of Verelexia was founded in June 2003 by a small group of students interested in politics, who wanted to see if they could run their own (small) state. The Republic of Verelexia was thus founded as a constitutional republic under the charismatic leadership of Benjamin Gray, who held the position of President and Lord Protector (essentially a secondary but permanent president) The Republic later considered seceding from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and for a short time had "annexed" territory in London, making the homes of its citizens embassies and consulates. More patriotic members of the Republic however opposed this move and eventually Lord Gray revoked their citizenship as Lord Protector, claiming that they had undermined the constitution. Other members renounced their citizenship. The Republic was left alone for some time until the "Rebirth". Gray, now an Atteran citizen, rewrote the Constitution, limiting the powers of the Lord Protector and allowing for a freer society. A website was created, consisting of one webpage containing a link to the constitution and Gray's e-mail address. After some e-mails from interested potential citizens, a website and forum was built and went public in September 2004. Verelexia has in the online micronational sector however been mostly unsuccessful. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has failed to respond to any of the President's e-mails and the other two citizens fail to post on the forums and have expressed a lack of interest in the nation.

The Future of the Republic

The Republic has essentially become an egostan however there are hopes to revive it and make it into a proper state. There have been some talks with micronationalists about how to resurrect the nation, and applications for citizenship are still accepted. The Emperor of Alexandria, formerly Madland, has offered to merge with Verelexia, but given what happened regarding Antica, the offer was declined.

The Third Republic

Verelexia was resurrected in December 2004 with an emergency presidential act dissolving all legal institutions save that of the Office of the President of the Republic and the creation of the Constituent Assembly, an organ comprised of all Verelek citizens tasked with creating a new constitution. The Constituent Assembly was called to order on Wednesday 8th December 2004.

Death

After the EzBoard attacks of 2005, Verelexia's forums were completely wiped out. Given the general failure of the country, partly due to having no specific purpose or culture, a generic constitution, and no active citizen base outside of a few "multi-nationals", it was decided to close down the Republic and it is now dead. The founder has since left to create the Stratocracy of Treithar.
