The West Rulish Empire, also known as simply West Ruland, is a micronation in the city of Perth, Western Australia. The state was founded by Ruben on 22 July 2023, after the Declaration of Independence from the Perth Empire, another micronation in the area who ultimately disappeared in July of the same year.
The West Rulish Empire's current state power consists of 3 offices. An elected prime minister, a right hand man and an Emperor who is chosen hereditary, belonging to the royal family of West Ruland. The West Rulish government recently colonized 1.2 million square kilometres of land although a new law passed and West Ruland has left the short lived Antarctic claim.
Etymology
The name "West Ruland" is a portmanteau, a blend of the words "Westralia" and "Ruland", deriving from the first name of this nation, the Republic of Ruland and the the third name, the Empire of Westralia. The name "West Ruland" was proposed by Seb Smith and 75% agreed to change the name because the name "Westralia" was already taken by many things, including the "Westralia Flottila" of the Australian Navy cadets. This meant that the name "Westralia" was a direct violation of 2023 Act 1 (ADF Colonization act).
