The People's Republic of Marhaenia (Indonesian: Republik Rakyat Marhaenia) is a self-declared sovereign state (micronation) situated in Southeast Asia. It consists of five provinces bordered by the Republic of Indonesia and was established in 2023. Its capital and largest city is Vlanderming
Marhaenia is a unitary socialist republic led by the chairman of the People's Party as the president for life. The president holds the authority to appoint a vice president every six-month period. Additionally, the president is empowered to appoint governors every six months, amend the constitution, and issue presidential decrees.
While Marhaenia maintains strong ties with various socialist states worldwide, it also fosters positive international relations with numerous non-socialist nations, including liberal republics and kingdoms. Currently, Marhaenia is a member of the United Micronations, Micronational Assembly, and the Southeast Asian Micronational Association.
Etymology
Marhaenia comes from the term marhaen with the suffix -ia. Marhaen itself is a term referring to commoners of low-to-medium class citizens. In marhaenism, a marhaen is someone with the means of production but is also completely independent economically no matter how little they earn; whilst historically, it had always been used to refer proletarians originating of the Nusantara and its surrounding (the Southeastern Asia Continentum). As a result, derivations of socialism had always been historically tied to the area. In short, Marhaenia is a nation of the commoners, in the definition.
