New Ladonia (Esperanto: Novladonio) is a part parodic, part serious micronation, proclaimed in 2017 after the founders finding out things about micro-nations. Especially the "swedish" micronation Ladonia.

History
The 3rd of Mars 2017, Rasmus and Rasmus, the future king and dicator of the micronation sat in their school and read about micronations when one nation in perticular caught their attention. The micro-nation known as Ladonia founded by Lars Vilks in 1996. The two started to come up with different idéas of how they could take over Ladonia and claim it. One of them sarcasticly said that they should either marry or kill the Queen Carolyn I. After many discussions they decided that they instead should make their own land. This they thought was going to be much easier. One of the Rasmuses elected himself as the lands dicator and the other Rasmus took the role as king. A or a couple of months later they claimed a tiny corner of their schools cafeteria as their land. New Ladonias laws, rules and customs has been discussed by the two Rasmuses many times but nothing has yet to been written down or made public in any way.

In May 2017 the campaign for the democratic presidential election started in Ladonia. Three partys were created with names inspired by the well known game Rock–paper–scissors (in Swedish; Sten, Sax, Påse). The actual election has as of 2018 not yet been held.

Government
The government of Ladonia is jointly led by Dictator Rasmus den store. The role of dictator in New Ladonia is a role one bares over a life time. When a dictator dies a new one will be elected through a number of complicated tests. The dictator holds 50% of the power in govermental decisions. The president has 10% while the actual ministers of the goverment has the remaining 40%. New Ladonia also has a monarch. The current monarch is Rasmus I. Contrary to popular belief this is not the same Rasmus as the dictator, but another Rasmus.

Demographics
When it was created, Ladonia had a population of 4. As of May 2017 when the last count was done, there was around 21 Novladonic citizens all residing in different parts of Sweden. None of the citizens resides within New Ladonia's borders. Only around 20% of the population knows a bit of esperanto and none of them can speak it fluently.

International Relations
On the 21st of Febuary 2018 the official youtube channel of New Ladonia received a comment from a youtube account claiming to be Queen Carolyn I of Ladonia. The queen replied to the official history video by saying "Thank you for concluding it was too much effort to dispatch me, and instead just starting your own nation. Also, I believe there have been other Micronations to use Esperanto as their official language prior to you. Molossia being the most notable in recent memory." The channel responded to this by heart-reacting her comment. This marks the first international conversation between New Ladonia and any other nation.
