Summary
The Grand Duchy of Akrilius (Russian: Великое Княжество Акрилиус; French: Grand-Duché d'Akrilius), also known as Akrilius, is a micronation located in a small territory of Ottawa, Canada. Akrilius has claimed independence from Canada since 2017 but just like most other micronations, has not been recognized by the greater international community. Akrilius' culture is primarily influenced by Russian culture due to its origins though it does also contain elements of Canadian culture. The overall style used by the Duchy is inspired by Austria-Hungary, the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of France. The political system of Akrilius is considered to be a semi-constitutional monarchy; where the monarch can influence the nation politically but is regulated by an elected prime minister and parliament. It also has a multi-party system that was chosen to provide more choices to the people.
