MicroMonarchy | |
| Micro Monarchy | comment |
A Micro Monarchy is the setting (or a mentioned location, or a background for a character) used for a tiny (and usually, but not always, modern) country, that is under a monarchy, albeit usually a liberal, modernized one. If the monarch has the title of Prince, it's called a Principality. The prevalence of micro monarchies as principalities is probably because of the Holy Roman Empire and All the Little Germanies, in which many of the smaller German monarchies (thus "micro monarchies" in their own right) were ruled by princes rather than kings. Perhaps because of this history, unlike English the German language has separate words for a prince who is a monarch in his own right ("Fürst") and a prince of who is merely the son or grandson of a monarch ("Prinz"). The make-up of the country will include ancient castles that are juxtaposed with modern day architecture of the surrounding buildings and — if it's a European state — the typical modern European car. Despite its size, it will usually have a decent economy, often based around one product that it is known the whole world for, or massive tourism to its historical sites. The nation's defense forces will only consist of ceremonial knights, palace security, and local police, and they will rely on some more powerful neighbor for defense. If they ever are attacked in earnest and their neighbors let them down (or, even worse, the neighbors are the attackers), expect it to be easily conquered, with its inhabitants becoming either dead or oppressed, or, if they fare better, members of La Résistance. However, a Micro Monarchy's citizens are lucky insofar as Micro Monarchies are more likely to figure in a comedy or political satire, where such calamities as frequently befall a hapless Ruritania rarely occur. This sort of setting has a tendency to be inherited by a long lost princess who has never even heard of the place before. Compare and contrast with Land of One City, which may or may not be also a Micro Monarchy; as well as Ruritania, which is just a fictional Southern, Central or Eastern European country, Qurac which does the same for the Middle East, and Bulungi which covers Africa: All these can be Micro Monarchies too, but don't have to. Also tends to be The Good Kingdom. As the Real Life section of this article shows, Micro Monarchies are very much Truth in Television; many have existed over the course of history, and a small but significant number still exist today, primarily within Europe.

In the Chronicles of Prydain, Fflewddur Fflam - being one of the Sons of Don - is actually the king of one of these. Its name is never given, but it's stated to contain his castle and a very small bit of land just outside of the castle and that's about it. Fflewddur, for his part, isn't that interested in being king even of such a small place, and prefers to spend his time as a wandering minstrel. | |

The Discworld series has Lancre: 40x10 miles, although it gets a lot bigger if you count vertical surfaces. Neighboring kingdoms are so small, however, that their kings might rule in their free time, while their main job might be farming. Lancre is unusual for the region in that it is large enough to have a standing army: Shawn Ogg (except when he's lying down), who is also the entire postal service, as well as the royal butler, doorman, herald, privy cleaner, etc. | |

In Dragon Age: Origins, the region of Highever - home to a Human Noble player character - is identified as a teyrnir but is stated to be a principality within the kingdom of Ferelden. The ruling family, the Couslands, don't use princely titles; nevertheless, theirs is the oldest noble house in the realm and second in precedence only to the actual royal family, to whom the Couslands have been deeply loyal for generations. | |

Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda. Its second-biggest incarnation contains no more than six humanoid settlements: Hyrule castle town, Kakariko village, the Gerudo fortress, and the Goron, Zora and Kokiri villages. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past just has one castle (sans town), one village and two abandoned palaces. Averted in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where the Kingdom's land area would fit the average European country. | |

Ghastria of the Ravenloft setting functioned like a Micro Monarchy up until the Great Upheaval. Most domains ruled by nobles and/or royals are micro-monarchies, as the size and population of Domains are quite tiny even by pseudo-medieval Dungeons & Dragons standards (Darkon is the only domain with over a hundred thousand inhabitants; many Core Domains and most Clusters and Islands have less than 1/10th that population). It's common for DMs to increase the population and size of Domains for the sake of realism. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Crystal Empire is, despite the name, barely a Land of One City. It's implied that it was quite a lot bigger in the past. Similarly, Griffonstone is a run-down shantytown that is supposedly the only notable griffon settlement. Much of its decline is due to sheer apathy that started over a lost artifact generations ago and has been growing since. According to Twilight Sparkle, it was a grand sight once. From the comics, there's the Kingdom of Dimondia, home of one of the more civilized Diamond Dog packs (most other dogs live underground). It's predictably just a castle and a town, and presided over by a unicorn queen who's technically held prisoner and really, really wants to get out. The land of Yakyakistan seems to be composed of a single town of simple huts hidden away behind a huge gate, or at least that's all we see of it. |

BattleTech: The Aurigan Coalition, the small cluster of star systems where most of the game's plot takes place, is this. This was done because having such a relatively small area as the focus of the action made it more believable that a single lance of mechs controlled by the player could play such a deciding role in the game's plot. The Coalition has since become a Canon Immigrant into the core game. | |

Housepets!: Jata's home country, Feraga, is a micro-nation in Africa. According to Sabrina, it was founded and remains run entirely by animals and avoided colonization entirely. Humans are allowed in, but the practice of owning pets is forbidden, so Sabrina is a free citizen during her stay. | |

The small-state Khulewitz is this in the Suske en Wiske album #300 Het machtige monument. Unlike others on the list though the state is corrupt despite its ruler being extremely sympathetic. The main villain is the one leading the corruption. | |

The Mamemon Kingdom in the A Dragon in Shining Armour sequel Holy War is a city-state that's too small to show up on most maps. This, unfortunately, makes it much, much smaller than its king's ego. Also unfortunately, one of its neighbors is the Metal Empire and said king has just provoked them into war by making some very impulsive statements regarding stolen technological secrets. | |
