Kingdom of Ruritania (The Micronation)

Today, the Kingdom of Ruritania (The Micronation) has officially appointed our micronational Creative Soap Artisan, M4rcut10. His intriguingly artistic and avant-garde creations within soap mixology has us completely speechless. Please be sure to check out not only his Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/m4rcut10.cd/), but perhaps you should also visit his Etsy shop http://m4rcut10cd.etsy.com/, unless, of course, you are a squirrel sympathizer... But that couldn't be you, not if you love The Grand Duchess HSH Lydia Sofia Tatiana Mortitia von Elphberg, Minister of Foreign Affairs, as much as you claim!

The Kingdom of Ruritania mourns the worldwide loss of the iconic Dolly Parton. We found that the honor the Royal Family if Great Britain bestowed was a wonderful way of honoring such an important talent.

Would any other Micronational Leaders be interested in an informal summit in Georgia in 2026?

With some regret, we announce that the Kingdom of Adrina/Adrina Kingdom has been blocked. They have every right to their opinions, but the Kingdom of Ruritania disagrees with and finds offensive several of those opinions and therefore we choose to ignore them.

For our female rulers, I have recently found padded, bejeweled headbands on EBay and Marketplace. For those of us who like to wear tiaras while at home, these are fairly comfortable and stay on better than mor traditional tiaras. They can be worn as a headband, of course, but may also be worn slightly tilted and thus resemblling the Russian Kokoshnik tiaras. Here are the 2 I have :

It has come to the attention of the Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs that many requests of diplomatic relations have been requested. Our policy information follows below:

The Kingdom of Ruritania, as a courtesy, informally recognizes all micronations. However, if a micronation desires to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Ruritania, please contact the Office of the Foreign Ministry. The current Minister of Foreign Affairs is HSH Grand Duchess Lydia Sophia Tatianna Mortitia von Elphberg.
​
Please be aware of our requirements listed below:

The micronation requesting recognition must have been in existence for at least six months.

The micronation requesting recognition must have a website or page on which its pertinent information is listed. ( i.e. form of government, head of state, email address, general location, territorial claims, if any, etc.)

Ruritania WILL NOT form alliances or treat with any micronation that claims territory in Antarctica, at the bottom of the sea, or off of the planet Earth. The only exceptions will be micronations with which we have signed treaties before September 1st, 2012.

Ruritania WILL NOT form alliances or treat with any micronation claiming ALL of an inhabited territory not specifically owned by that micronation. ( i.e. Greenland, City of St.Louis, State of Texas, etc.)

Any alliances and treaties are subject to approval by the Crown of Ruritania.

If the requesting micronation meets these criteria, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will contact them and send a Treaty of Friendship and Recognition, signed by the reigning Monarch of Ruritania for the approval of that micronation. Upon signing this treaty, the requesting micronation will be declared a friend and ally of the Kingdom of Ruritania and receive the Most Favored Nation status. Ruritania will then add their name to the list of allies on our website with a link to their website and/or page. Should the requesting micronation reject the treaty for any reason, negotiations will cease. Should an accepted micronation ally embarrass or insult Ruritania or change its form of government, it will come under review and recognition may be rescinded.

If you should desire, we also have a Mutual Recognition Treaty to send by "Snail Mail".
