The Administration of Ladonia
Ladonia is a cultural and artistic micronation with a citizen-approved constitution, a continuously functioning administration, and regular community elections. Explore the structure of Ladonia’s administration and its officials here.
Ladonia is a Royal Republic (Remony), akin to a constitutional monarchy. The administration is led by the Queen (Head of State) and the Prime Minister (Head of Administration). Executive duties are managed by the Queen’s Council, while legislative responsibilities reside with the Cabinet of Ministers.
Until October 2021, executive responsibilities were shared among the Queen, the Cabinet (led by the Prime Minister), and the State Secretary, who served as a tiebreaker in decision-making. Following the State Secretary’s passing, these responsibilities were reallocated to the ‘Queen’s Council’ through a constitutional amendment approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
The position of the Queen is for life and succession is matrilineal. The Queen’s Council consists of five State departments (Art, Digital Defence, Finance, Foreign Affairs, and Home Affairs) and the council is led by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is also responsible for conducting Cabinet (legislative) meetings and represents the Cabinet of Ministers within the Queen’s Council.
The Cabinet of Ministers is responsible for proposing, debating, and voting on various acts and laws.
