Background

The People's Republic of Baliga was founded on the 2nd of February 2020 by President Benjamin of Baliga. He had previously tried to found a micronation called the Kingdom of Mint in early 2018 but decided not to as he felt he was ill prepared and did not want to run a monarchy due to disagreeing with the system of Monarchy. He discovered micronationalism in early 2017 but it took until 2020 for him to found one due to him thinking it was to much of a commitment for him. After the creation and fall of the defunct Kingdom of Mint he wrote a book featuring a nation called Baliga. That is where he got the name. In the book Baliga was a utopia where everyone was free and equal. The People's Republic of Baliga always pushed to meet that goal.
