Big Announcement!

     Our government blog now has pages! For laptop and PC, it will always be on the screen. For iOS and Android, you'll have to click on the menu.  Military Department     On the Military Department page, you can donate to the army! (We don't have a Navy and Air Force.) There is also a counter for donations that is updated from time to time. (Please note that donations are open only during times of war, like the civil war right now.) The Enotita Times - Newspaper     The Enotita Times is Enotita's official newspaper. (Please note that The Enotita Times has no association with the Greek leftist newspaper named Enotita.) Starting February 1, 2024, news updates will be available on the page. But when the month ends and the page changes, we will still let you read previous headlines through an archive.      New pages will be released from time to time, so keep checking the side bar if a new page has popped up!

The Zimmerman Telegram - Big Mistake!

     In my opinion, if the Germans never sent the Zimmerman Telegram, the Central Powers might have won. Out of all the mistakes in world history, it would be up there as one of the worst. Let's see why.      The Zimmerman Telegram was sent by Germany to Mexico in 1917 during World War I. They wanted to form a coalition with Mexico against the United States. In return, Mexico would regain Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.  Mexico rejected this, but something even more important happened.  You see, British intelligence detected the telegram, and they sent it to Washington. ( source ) The American government was furious. So they declared war on Germany.      Now, why was this a big mistake? Well, you see, the Central Powers were winning until the Americans joined. Romania and Serbia had capitulated by 1917, and Russia was close to losing. (They did leave later on.) Also, Germany was getting close to Paris. They should have just kept the...

National Anthem of Enotita

     Our national anthem used to be "Let Us Defend Enotita." The tune was "Ode to Joy" by Ludwig van Beethoven, and I wrote the lyrics. The first version was too centered around me however, so I wrote new lyrics. Nonetheless, our anthem remained a significant part of the country for a while.      However, since our president became dictator, and we formed the Enotitan Republic, the anthem has become synonymous with his fascist-style regime. (By the way, we're now a parliamentary monarchy, with our empress being a purely symbolic figure.) So we switched our anthem to "Arisen From Naked Ruins," a translation of the East German anthem but more centered around Enotita. (We also have a royal anthem. I might upload that.)     Here is our national anthem:

The Sesame War - Part 4 (The End)

     Welcome back to the Sesame War! Well, the war has already ended, but this is the aftermath. Let's see how the new nations of Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia dealt with the neo-Sesames.      In Bohemia, the Friends of Abby party currently holds the chancellor, Frank Arthur. Now, he actually negotiated in 2021 about reunification with Moravia. But the Treaty of Prague that divided Bohemia-Moravia in 1963 said that Bohemia and Moravia "shall never reunite to prevent Sesame Street's return." The name of Arthur's party explicitly states that they are friends of Abby Cadabby. (Yes, I have been spelling her name wrong the whole time. Haha!) But the treaty had already been signed. So the president of Moravia, Evan King, rejected the offer.      However, despite Moravia having an anti-Sesame president, the senate of Moravia has never had an election where their two neo-Sesame parties, Super Sesame and Cadabby Group, were absent. Moreover, they're ...

Alternate WWI: Part 1 - Pre-War Dynamics

     I know I've been leaving you hanging on the Sesame War, but I guarantee you that Part 4 will come out soon. With that clear, welcome to Part 1 of my alternate First World War. The alliances will be very different here. Let's go, Enotitans! Also, please read until the end for a very important announcement.     In 1866, the Austro-Prussian War was fought. (That happened in real life.) After that, Austria and Prussia (later the German Empire) both competed to become the superior Germanic nation.      Then, in 1870, the Franco-Prussian War was fought. (This was also a real war.) But since the French leader was Napoleon III, we actually have Great Britain joining on the side of Prussia here, making for our first fictional event. The Treaty of Normandy was signed a year later, giving Alsace-Lorraine to the newly formed German Empire, and Brittany to the United Kingdom. Later that year, the Germans and Brits signed the London Pact, which was like th...

Blog Update!

     Hey guys! You may have noticed that the blog name changed from "The OttoRoman Empire" to "Democratic Republic of Enotita." ( Enotita means "unity" in Greek.) Well, I have a few things to explain. Let's go, Enotitans!     First of all, what is Enotita? It's my micronation that unites my closest relatives' houses and my grandma's former house under a single state. (It's in the Philippines.) Our city-provinces are Enotita City (the capital), New Enotita, Sucatia, and the Mariquinium. We're a democratic republic that follows my ideology of Rafaelism. (Rafael is my real name, and Augustus II is a fake name. So I named my ideology Rafaelism.) It's complicated to study, and I might make a separate post on that. But basically, we tax the rich and give to the poor. (Not Marxism, okay?) We'll install public ATMs around the country.      We're a parliamentary republic with a president and a chancellor. I'm the chancellor, ...
