The Beginning

Early March 2026

I came up with the idea for Solmeria in early March 2026. I wanted to build a micronation, so I started drafting a constitution for a country I called Solmere.

March 31, 2026

I renamed the project the Republic of Solmere. Not long after that, I changed the name again to Solmeria, and that one stuck.

The Founding of Solmeria

April 13, 2026

Solmeria became official on April 13, 2026, when we ratified the Governing Charter. The Charter set up a republic run by a Council. At the Council's first meeting, the five founding members elected me as Solmeria's first President.

The Council held all the real power. Any major decision — admitting a new member, removing someone, overriding an action of mine as President — needed a supermajority, defined as at least four out of every five members. That's a high bar on purpose, so no small group could push through changes the rest of the Council didn't want.

The problem was speed, not power. Most of the Council, including me, mainly saw each other at school. Meetings were infrequent, and getting anything done took a while.

The Creation of the Monarchy

May 14, 2026

To fix the speed problem, I drafted the Royal Charter. It replaced the republic with a constitutional monarchy, headed by a Sovereign Monarch with a lot more day-to-day executive authority than the President had.

The Council reviewed the Charter and asked for more safeguards before they'd sign off. I agreed to their changes, and that became the Power Resolution Accords. Together, the two documents capped the renamed Royal Advisory Council at four to twelve members, and gave that Council real checking power over the Monarch: a Declaration of Concern by simple majority, a Declaration of Abuse of Power by supermajority, and, as a last resort, the power to depose the Monarch by a unanimous Council vote.

Both documents were adopted on May 14, 2026. That's the day Solmeria became a monarchy.

The First Constitution

May 28, 2026

Two weeks later, on May 28, 2026, I replaced the Royal Charter and the Power Resolution Accords with the First Constitution of the Kingdom of Solmeria.

This is where Solmeria's government really took shape. The Constitution created Parliament as the Kingdom's legislative body, with a minimum of four active members at all times. It also created the Supreme Court, with three to seven Justices, and formally established the Council of Ministers to run the government day-to-day.

Also, it wrote out a full Bill of Rights for the first time — ten separate guaranteed rights, from due process to freedom of speech, that no Decree or law could touch.

The Second Constitution

June 28, 2026

A month after that, on June 28, 2026, I adopted the Second Constitution.

This version expanded things a lot. It replaced the Supreme Court with a two-phase judiciary: a Constitutional Tribunal made up of Parliament and the Monarch acting jointly, meant to hold things over until Solmeria was ready for a full Supreme Court.

It also introduced a federal structure, with States and Territories, and created the Federal Assembly of the Union (FAU) to give them a collective voice.

On top of that, it added a new voting threshold — a Three-Quarter Majority — and laid out more detailed rules for how bills get passed and how the Constitution itself gets amended.

The Federated Kingdom Constitution

July 12, 2026

Before this one even landed, the federal system it was replacing had already run into trouble. On July 8, I dissolved the Democratic Republic of New Burlington — the state I'd admitted just three weeks earlier — and issued an Executive Order formally disbanding it.

Four days later, on July 12, 2026, I replaced the Second Constitution with the Constitution of the Federated Kingdom of Solmeria.

The Second Constitution's federal system had turned out to be more machinery than a small kingdom needed. So this version simplified it. States and Territories became Provinces, and the Federal Assembly of the Union became the Council of Provinces — still a real voice for local self-governance, just without the extra layers.

I also dropped the two-phase judiciary and went back to a single standing Crown Tribunal. Parliament's minimum membership was lowered from four to three, and the amendment threshold was brought back down from a supermajority to a simple majority, since a smaller kingdom didn't need that high a bar.

That same day, I issued a Habeas Corpus Decree. The next day, July 13, I passed Solmeria's first War Powers Resolution and an Executive Orders Decree to formalize how executive orders work. On July 23, I issued a decree spelling out how the new Council of Provinces would actually operate.

Current Constitution

August 1, 2026

On August 1, 2026, I adopted the Constitution of the United Kingdom of Solmeria, replacing every governing document that came before it. This Constitution is still in effect today.

It split Parliament into two houses — the House of Members, which works like the old Parliament, and the House of Assembly, which was originally open to every citizen of Solmeria with no admission or approval needed.

It kept the Council of Ministers and the Crown Tribunal, kept the Bill of Rights, and spelled out exactly what the Monarch can and can't do.

Solmeria Today

August 2026

Since adopting the current Constitution on August 1, I've kept legislating.

I created a Flag Bearer position on August 3, renamed some ministries and reissued the National Currency Decree on August 6, and repealed the National Media Ministry on August 15 — a little less than two months after I'd created it.

I issued a new Official Coat of Arms and Seal on August 18, and set a Uniform Time standard on August 21. That same day, Solmeria became a party to the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States.

The next day, August 22, we ratified the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Also, the War Powers Resolution has already been revised twice since July.

Most recently, during August, on August 29, I designated Solmeria's official capital city.

The First Three Constitutional Amendments

September 2026

The Constitution did not stay unchanged for long.

On September 4, the House of Members approved the first three Articles of Amendment. The approval record shows all five members voting Yay, with no Nay votes. The Monarch then approved the amendments on September 9. The official record lists the amendments as adopted at 10:33 on September 9, 2026.

First Article of Amendment

The First Article of Amendment changed how several of the rights in Article IX of the Constitution apply.

The first, second, third, fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth rights listed under Article IX are now granted to all persons within Solmeria, rather than being limited by the original wording of the Constitution. Their interpretation remains subject to the Crown Tribunal and the existing constitutional protections for those rights.

The amendment also added a specific protection for religious freedom. Solmeria may not make a law establishing a religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

It also specifically states that the amendment does not repeal, reduce, or otherwise impair any right already granted under Article IX.

Second Article of Amendment

The Second Article of Amendment changed the House of Assembly.

Instead of simply being open to citizens without an election system, the people of Solmeria will elect the House of Assembly. The House will consist of one representative for every number of persons prescribed by law.

The amendment also requires the Monarch or Parliament to provide laws for the enforcement and implementation of the new system.

Another important part is representation. No law may result in the people of Solmeria having disproportionately low representation in the House of Assembly. The number of representatives must have a reasonable relationship to the population, and the apportionment established by law must provide fair representation.

The amendment also gives the House of Assembly a future constitutional role once it is officially assembled and its representatives are seated.

At that point, the House of Assembly will have sixty (60) days to review, block, or amend any constitutional amendment passed by the House of Members. If it changes an amendment, it must approve the modified version before that amendment can proceed to final ratification.

This means the House of Assembly went from being an open body for citizens to being a directly elected legislative body with a specific role in the constitutional amendment process.

Third Article of Amendment

The Third Article of Amendment made a much simpler change.

Every reference to "Sovereign Monarch" in the Constitution, laws, decrees, and official documents of Solmeria is replaced with "Monarch."

The amendment makes clear that this is only a title change. The Monarch keeps all of the powers, duties, and authority that were previously attached to the office. It does not expand, reduce, or otherwise change those powers.

It also confirms that the current holder of the office remains in office under the same terms as before the amendment.

This officially establishes Monarch as the title used for the head of state throughout Solmeria.

Solmeria Today

As of September 9, 2026, Solmeria is still governed under the Constitution of the United Kingdom of Solmeria, but its first three Articles of Amendment have now changed it.

The government still has the Monarch, the House of Members, the House of Assembly, the Council of Ministers, and the Crown Tribunal. The Bill of Rights remains part of the Constitution, while several of its protections have now been expressly extended to all persons within Solmeria.

The House of Assembly is also now being built around an elected system rather than simply being an open body for citizens. Once it is officially assembled, it will have a new role in reviewing constitutional amendments.

Also, the constitutional title of the head of state is now simply Monarch.

In Summary

Solmeria went from an idea I had in March 2026 to a working kingdom with six major governing documents, three constitutional amendments, dozens of Royal Decrees, a full set of ministries, a capital city, a coat of arms, and international treaties.

The system has changed a lot since March. It started as a republic run by a Council, became a monarchy with the Royal Charter, developed into a parliamentary constitutional monarchy through several constitutions, experimented with a federal system, simplified that system, and eventually became the United Kingdom of Solmeria under the current Constitution.

Now, the Constitution has started changing through formal amendments instead of being completely replaced every time something needs to change.

The first three amendments expanded certain rights, created an elected House of Assembly with fair-representation requirements, gave that House a future role in reviewing constitutional amendments, and officially changed the title of the head of state from "Sovereign Monarch" to "Monarch."

In conclusion, Solmeria's government is still evolving, but the September 2026 amendments mark an important change from replacing the entire Constitution to making targeted changes to the Constitution that is already in place.
