Acharovia

Acharovia (official name Federated Republic of Acharovia) is a European micronation currently situated in southeast England, United Kingdom. Alongside this, it also has disputed territories in Croatia, Serbia, France and Oman. It consists of very few people in an area of less than 1 sq km, however this population contains a variety of ethnicities, including French, British, South African and German. Since its independence was first declared in February 2019, Acharovia has fluctuated in size and administrative level. They are a member of the Arundel Convention on Reddit and the Ethereal Broadasting Union on Instagram.

Names
The common name Acharovia derives from the Acharovian name for the country, Xačaruvija, meaning land of the rising star, depicted in the national flag. Despite no longer having provinces like during the first era of independence, the country retained its official title, the Federated Republic of Acharovia.

First era of independence
Acharovia first declared its independence on the 1st February 2019 as a federation of 8 provinces. The capital was placed in Gaxlanija, Gazlania province, and the currency was declared to be the Koroči, with a subunit of 10 Tescos. However, soon after one ceded itself to France, and during the summer of 2019, 5 further provinces left the Federated Republic of Acharovia, leaving behind Gazlania and the Teritorijaš djo Đolđoq. During this time, Acharovia formed alliances with multiple other micronations in the Reddit community under the Arundel Convention.

Cession to Artesia
In the July of 2020, Acharovia ceded its remaining territories to form the Kingdom of Artesia, however after inactivity and a failed election attempt to claim an island off the coast of Canada, the union fell.

Post-pandemic revival
On the 13th December 2020, Acharovia redeclared its independence and acceded to the Ethereal Broadcasting Union on Instagram, in order to join Ethereal Song Contest. It changed its capital to Pavelskaja during this time.

Location
Acharovia is principally located in 3 sections of land, each less than 10 sq m, in the town of Faversham in southeast England, although if disputed territories are included, the no-man's land between Croatia and Serbia would add around 4 sq km and the Musandam peninsula, which is recognised as part of Oman, would add 1800 sq km. The principal 3 territories are flat and lie at 3m above sea level, making it the second lowest nation in the world, after the Maldives. It is landlocked, surrounded on most sides by the United Kingdom, sharing a 1m border with the lost province that ceded to France.

Climate
The micronation in has a temperate climate, with winters rarely experiencing any temperature under -5 C and summers peaking at around 35 C. The nearby area in Brogdale held the record for the highest temperature recorded in the United Kingdom at 38.5 C in 2003, although this was beaten after 16 years by Cambridge in 2019. Its average annual precipitation is 750mm.
