Qootärlænt is a micronation founded by Leendert Reek and Lorenzo Bianchini on March 20th 2008

History
In the beginning of 2008 Leendert Reek created a language which was called Qootärfloams, while this was still under development, he then met Lorenzo on the internet. Lorenzo thought Qootärfloams was interesting and said that it should have a nation, and Leendert called it Qootärlænt. During the same week, he wrote an anthem for this nation and the beginning of the declaration of independence was written. Since then, land was conquered and Emperor Antonio, how Leendert called himself after that, started to look for citizens and for a good form of government.

About the Government
Qootärlænt is an empire. Its Emperor is Qajsir-Qootärlænta Antonio (English: Qootärlæntish Emperor Antonio). The Emperor is leader of the Kings, and on March 14th 2009 Qootärlænt had 7 official kings. They rule over the rest of the citizens and also over the national territory of Qootärlænt. In cooperation with the Emperor there is a Prime Minister who is elected by the people, which is Sjeffol since January the 1st of 2009.

The Flag
The flag of Qootärlænt displays the Star of Kings in it because of the Kings that rule the nation together. The cross in the middle is the symbol of Christianity, the religion of the Emperor and the religion of a significant part of the Government. The green star in the middle is the star of the constructed language Esperanto. This is because "Esperanto" means Esperantically "he that hopes" and therefore it is a symbol of hope. Red and blue are the colours of the Dutch flag; the Emperor was born in this country, and also they symbolize fire and water. The purple in the middle is just for fun.

Language
Qootärlænt has two official languages, English and Qootärfloams. The Constitution of Qootärlænt reads, in article 19, that every citizen is given the right to use English at their own discretion, as long as it is understandable. This rule applies for every language except Qootärfloams.

Culture
Qootärlænt has its own national anthem. The music is written by HIM Antonio and the text by HRH Lorenzo Bianchini. Qootärlænt has national holidays, of which October 10th is the most important. It's called Emperors Day, and after that, August 25th is Independence Day.
