Basileía of the Romans

About Us

Rhomania (Greek: Ρωμανία, Rhōmanía), officially the Basileia of the Romans (Greek: Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων, Basileía tōn Rhōmaíōn; Medieval Greek for Monarchy or Empire of the Romans), and commonly domestically simply as the Basileia when referring to the Empire itself as an institution (Greek: Βασιλεία, Basileía) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Formerly known as Mouzilo, Rhomania considers itself a legitimate successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Republic of Pangratia and Mouzilo. The state was founded on May 19, 2012 as the Kingdom of Mouzilo, and reformed into the present form on May the 29th, 2020.

With the exception of a single territory in Turkey, Romaean administration claims sovereignty over several properties landlocked by Greece, in the regions of Eurytania, Attica and the Saronic Gulf.

Rhomania is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator of the Romans, Emmanuel I & II. The Empire considers itself a continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire and, as an extent, a continuation of the Roman Empire. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue the Eastern Roman imperial tradition and to this end many, if not most, aspects of political and civil discourse are under direct Eastern Roman influence or inspiration.
