The State of Hokoria (Pig latin: Tatesay ofay Okoriahay, Scots: State o’ Hokoria), known more commonly as Hokoria, is a micronation located within West Yorkshire, England. The state was founded on 11 March 2023 and is not officially recognised by any sovereign states.

Etymology

The name of the State of Hokoria originates from the Japanese word for pride, hokori a. This is a direct link to Founder, Willow Dziedzic I's ambitions to "create a Hokoria we can all be proud of".

The "State of" classification allows differentiation between the State of Hokoria's predecessor, Old Hokoria. Old Hokoria was formerly known as 'Hokoria'.

History

February 2023 - March 2023

Following Willow Dziedzic I's proclamation of Old Hokoria's dissolution on 14 February 2023 for mental health reasons, the Secret Monarchist State of Hokoria was founded.

Secret Hokoria was a closed micronation that was founded in order to have freedom from external interference. Following a period of inactivity, the State of Hokoria was founded to succeed Secret Hokoria.

March 2023

The State of Hokoria was founded on 11 March 2023 by Founder, Willow Dziedzic I as a benevolent dictatorship. Following it's foundation, the Central Government of Hokoria was founded to be the public governing body that oversees the State of Hokoria.

April 2023

April Fool's Day

On 1 April 2023, the Office of the Head of State released a YouTube video titled "Disollution of Hokoria" where Founder, Willow Dziedzic I can be heard to claim that Hokoria has surrendered to the Tsardom of Som.

The Central Government of Hokoria had previously claimed that operatives from the Tsardom of Som were attempting to spy on the State of Hokoria and cause disruption to it's 'WeAreHokoria' Discord community.

Dogfish Conflict

On 5 April 2023 the Tsardom of Som attacked a state with close relations to the State of Hokoria. The Kingdom of Westspillen's Discord server was attacked "for it's relations to Hokoria" according to the raiders.

The Office of the Head of State (of Hokoria) released the following statement in response:

Today, a new ally of the State of Hokoria has been attacked. We stand closely with our allies in the Kingdom of Westspillen. It is important that in times like this when outside forces are attempting to tear us apart, that we do the opposite. This has only made Hokoria's relations closer and stronger.

It also declared the Tsardom of Som as an 'anti-Hokoria group' rather than a state.

Following a number of attacks and attempted attacks on other states with relations of the State of Hokoria, the State of Hokoria introduced the 'hokgov' service that acted as a vetting security system for the Discord servers of at-risk states. It was later discovered that the Kingdom of Westspillen had pre-existing relations to Bog Soma, which the leader has denied.

The Tsardom of Som officially withdrew from the conflict on 16 April 2023, declaring Hokoria as an extremist and terrorist organizations. The Central Government of Hokoria had called for a withdrawal since 8 April 2023. Operatives of Bog Soma have since claimed that the conflict is the result of Hokoria's LGBTQ+ community.
