Riesenguthland-Ellermark

Provincial homepage in English

First some general information on KRE:

RIESENGUTHLAND-ELLERMARK: Independent, absolute kingdom in and around Düsseldorf plus few exclaves, 0,001 km², about 30 inhabitants. 3 provinces: Ellermark, Riesenguthland and Friedensfreistaat.
The territory consists of the domiciles and estates of its subjects and other inhabitants incl. any free space lying directly inbetween whithin Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach and the surrounding districts. Capital: Ellermark-City. Official languages: German, Dutch(Ellermark) English(Riesenguthland).
The King in office is absolute Ruler of the country, the provincial governments can only work with his agreement.
Scenery: Mostly flats, highest mountain: The Hingehsteige in Ellermark.
ECONOMY: Legal tender (currency-reform April 13^th 1991) is the "NEUE KRONE" ("new crown") (NK), 1 NK = 100 Krönchen, 1 KRE-NK = 1.13 EU-€ (rate October 16^th 2002). Economy is going rather smoothly, and we like it that way. Main trading-partners are the Republic of Flacsberg and the Netherlands. Most exported product is cake, most imported products are chips and vla. There is no excise, income-tax, however, is relatively high (above KRE's subsistence-level).
HISTORY: On November 18^th 1988 Tosti was crowned King of a piece of a flat the size of a carpet then called Guthland after occupiing it. Then King Tosti 0,842^nd conquered first the room (Großguthland) and finally the entire flat (Riesenguthland). Later he married the occupant (as King he can conduct people into marriage) who by that became Queen, but has already been expatriated by now. Soon after that his flat in Ellerstraße became part of the country, too (province of Ellermark); Some of the people who wanted to belong to the Kingdom founded a third province (Friedensfreistaat). Since then more and more humans want to belong to the Kingdom, their flats etc. form further parts and towns in the ever growing 3 provinces of Riesenguthland-Ellermark.

There are embassadors from abroad. We also have diplomatic relations via the internet with various micronations.
These relations are not intense, a small country like KRE cannot spare much energy for foreign affairs. This is also the reason why KRE is currently not a member-country of the L.O.S.S. (League of Secessionist States). If, after reading this, you decide to contact us, please be patient. Thank you.
The heir to the throne will be found by games among the knights and the Queen or follow heritage.
National holiday with celebrations in the Royal palace for all inhabitants is every Fryday-13^th., the flag consists of 3 horizontal bars: (from above) violet; white with crowned bottle- and-crown coat of arms; blue.

So much about our country in general, now here are a few impotant institutions:

• 1. Bicycles in KRE have registration-numbers. The numbers with white letters on a violet background (older different numbers exist) are issued by the King.
• 2. Passports are issued by the King on application. An application is usually made by handing in a photo.
• 3. Those who don't study elsewhere can become students of the Koninklijke Universiteit Ellermark and will get a valid student's ID.
• 4. Those who neither participate in person nor by letter, telephone or by the help of a third in the national holiday will, if their attitude towards the kingdom can not beyond any doubt be regarded a positive one, take part in the post-card-questionig- actions of the office of expatriation (after every national holiday). Those who fill in the answering post-card with a wish for expatriation and add, if they have, their passport ect. will then be expatriated. A repatriation is thereafter only possible for very special reasons, usually, however, it is not possible at all. Even the first Queen was expatriated in that manner, by the way. Foreign ambassadors can lose their embassy in that same way during expatriation actions.
  There are other reasons for a possible expatriation as well, in special cases directly by the King without any post-card actions.

Riesenguthland was the first province of KRE. The provincial colour is violet, just like the colour of this text. The symbol ist the crown, as the Kingdom was founded here. Any parts of KRE south of the Motorway A46 and east of the river Rhine form the province.
The official languages are English and German.
Unfortunately, not many people live in Riesenguthland today.
More information on the province of RIESENGUTHLAND may follow here some day.
