About our Nation

Strathy, officially The Communist People’s Republics of Strathy, is a small micronation centered in the south of Glasgow. It was originally founded on the 14th of July 2009, as The Holy Strathan Empire on the NationStates simulator –This day is celebrated as foundation day every year and is a national holiday. As time went on, Communist ideals spread through the government and in November of 2009, The United Socialist States of Strathy was formed. In late 2010, Strathy was reformed again into the Communist People’s Republic of Strathy. Strathy is currently ruled by its founder, James H Whittle, the People’s Commissar. He was originally the Emperor, but as time went on, he has been elected time and time again.

Strathy, it should be noted is not your average micronation, we have citizens and territorial claims, but the real reasoning behind Strathy's creation is politics. Strathy is, what many people in the micronational world would refer to as, a "Political Simulation". This is the main reason for Strathy's complex government structure given its tiny population. Further to that, it is also why the government format changes occasionally, sometimes quite radically. Strathy exists to try out the various systems and experiment with different balances of power within a potential left-wing government.

​

However, this does not mean that we are not open to territorial claims, diplomacy, citizenship and other micronational activities. As a matter of fact, Strathy has many diplomatic ties with other micronations and even has one citizen as a naturalised citizen who lives outwith Strathy.
