The Principality of the Pillow Fortress is a sovereign and independent micronational "state in waiting" founded on 20 January 2018 by Julia Platz-Halter, its reigning Princess.
Government
The Pillow Fortress is a constitutional monarchy with a government comprised of three co-equal branches: the Directory (legislature), the Throne (executive), and the Xeer (judiciary). The Princess serves as head of state, head of government, and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Political power within the Principality is monopolized by the Libertine Party, the sole legal political party to which all persons holding government appointments or positions with policy making power must be members.
Territory
Currently, the Principality has only two territorial claims, both of which are fanciful, protest claims that are not to be developed or enforced (in the near or short terms, at least): Marie Byrd Colony and Olympus Mons Colony. No further territorial claims are planned unless and until the Pillow Fortress is capable of extending full sovereignty over them.
Law
The supreme law of the Principality is the State Charter, which defines certain qualities of state which are to be permanent. The second highest law of the Pillow Fortress, superior to all others except the State Charter, is the Constitution. The purpose of the Constitution is to establish the fundamental structure of the government. In some circumstances, it is legal for the Constitution to be scrapped and replaced with a new one. Below the Constitution is the Pillow Fortress Code, the combined civil and criminal code of the Principality.
