The Republic of Kithala

From Kithala Wiki, the free encyclopedia

The Republic of Kithala, commonly known as Kithala, is a micronation located in Virginia, United States. It has four states and is situated on a moderately steep hill. It was established in 2026 and has been in a state of conflict since its creation.

The capital of Kithala is Kith, also known as The Palace. The nation is ruled by a Prince, a position currently held by Thomas Bowman.

Kithala operates under five amendments and maintains a defined list of crimes. The government allows citizens to vote while the Prince oversees military operations. A key economic rule states that no additional currency may be printed unless necessary.

Kithala is not part of any alliances, as it maintains a policy of distrust toward other micronations.
