Today Drakonberg celebrates a holiday that is very rarely celebrated in real states (due to its low significance), but even more rarely in micronations (due to the absence of the domain as an occasion). We have both an occasion and significance, so in our country the National Domain Day is equal in significance to the State Founding Day.
However, not everything that was originally conceived was realized as planned. That and much more is what we will cover in this article.
Why today? Because today millions of people all over the world celebrate the birthday of their Teacher - just like that, with a capital "T". And Drakonberg is the first (and so far, unfortunately, the only) state that has declared this day an official holiday.
Today is a significant day in the life of Drakonberg: our state turned 10 years old. This is a very important achievement for a micronation, because most similar projects die much earlier.
But we exist and hopefully we will exist for many more years, decades and even centuries to come. Why not? Because our state has all three main components: territory, population, and idea.
What has Drakonberg achieved in 10 years? What lies ahead?
Why it is celebrated and what kind of holiday it is - read below on the page.
As usual, the Head of State has prepared a solemn address to the people of Drakonberg, but residents of other micronations may also find this address interesting, since it contains some results of the past year and tells about some plans for the coming year.
Below we publish the full text of this speech.
