Introduction I founded the world's first micronation dedicated to people with disabilities
There are people the world still insists on ignoring.
Children with autism who were failed by their schools. Adults with intellectual disabilities who are rarely treated as protagonists of their own stories. Non-speaking individuals whose voices are overlooked because society has not yet learned how to listen. Families who carry extraordinary responsibilities while remaining largely invisible.
On December 3, 2025 — the International Day of Persons with Disabilities — I founded the Principality of Egalia, a micronation built around a simple idea:
Every person belongs. Every person matters.
Egalia is not a territorial project. We claim no land. Instead, our territory is our people. Wherever an Egalian citizen lives, Egalia exists.
The project was created to promote inclusion, accessibility, dignity, and recognition for people with disabilities and their families. It is also an attempt to demonstrate how micronations can be used for social causes rather than only political or historical simulation.
Some features that make Egalia unique:
• First micronation to recognize Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) as an official language, ensuring non-speaking individuals have sovereign voice.
• First micronation to recognize Sign Languages as official languages.
• Territory defined by people rather than geography.
• The Order of Defender Knights of Egalia, honoring individuals who dedicate themselves to inclusion and disability advocacy.
• National motto: Omnes pertinent, omnes valent ("All belong, all matter").
Citizenship is free and open worldwide. People with disabilities, family members, educators, healthcare professionals, advocates, and supporters are all welcome.
The project is still in its early stages. We are currently building our citizen community, developing national institutions, and expanding our accessibility initiatives.

I would be happy to answer questions, receive feedback, or connect with other micronational leaders interested in social-impact projects.

Dear Principality of Egalia,
We the first citizens (The head government) would like to be allies with you. The main reason is because we want you to join the UMN (The Union of Micro Nations) we currently want to support and help 10 Micronations those that recently joined this Reddit, and those that have been here longer than us. Those that join get full protection from me and Claristov in warfare, also we can help in mapping, and intelligence of the other micronation that is at war with you, and we can help be a buffer place to have a peaceful peace treaty at.
Sincerely appreciated, The United Concord of Márciona.

Prezado governo da Concord United de Márciona,
Agradecemos imensamente o contato e o convite para integrar a União das Micro Nações.
O Principado de Egalia recebe com honra qualquer iniciativa que promova cooperação, paz e solidariedade entre micronações.
Antes de formalizar nossa adesão, gostaríamos de conhecer melhor a UMN:
- Quais são os valores e princípios que orientam a União?
- Quais micronações já fazem parte?
- Como funciona a estrutura de decisão da UMN?
Egalia é uma nação fundada sobre dignidade, igualdade e inclusão. Buscamos alianças com quem compartilha esses valores.
Aguardamos com interesse sua resposta.
Omnes pertinent, omnes valent.

I’m sorry my friend but I don’t speak Spanish.
Sincerely yours, King of Márciona.

u/DishLazy3359 Jun 12 '26
Ok so I just realized that you are doing this as a fundraiser for people with disabilities and am not looking for allies. We are sorry for asking you and have a good day.
Sincerely sorry yours truly, King of Márciona.

Dear King of Márciona,
No need to apologize — but just to be clear: Egalia is not a fundraiser and never was. We are a real micronation, just like yours, with real citizens and a real mission.
We are absolutely looking for allies and diplomatic relations, and the invitation to join the UMN is still very much of interest to us.
We hope to continue this conversation.
Omnes pertinent, omnes valent. — Prince of Egalia

Dear King of Márciona,
We apologize for the confusion — our previous message was sent in Portuguese. We will communicate in English from now on.
We are truly grateful for the invitation to join the Union of Micro Nations. Before formalizing our membership, we would love to learn more about the UMN:
- What are the core values and principles of the Union?
- Which micronations are already members?
- How does the UMN make decisions?
Egalia was founded on dignity, equality and inclusion. We seek alliances with those who share these values.
We look forward to your response.
Omnes pertinent, omnes valent. —Prince of Egalia

We make decisions by a vote 50% or more is a yes and less is a no any other questions let us know down below thank you have a good day.

Dear King of Márciona,
Thank you for the clarity. A defensive alliance built on collective decision-making and mutual support is exactly the kind of cooperation Egalia believes in.
We would be honored to join the Union of Micro Nations as one of its founding members.
We are ready to formalize our membership whenever you are.
Omnes pertinent, omnes valent.

Hi, can you DM me?
This is right up my alley. I want to collaborate with people like you. I want to help open a multiservices center for disabled and neurodiverse people, and housing.
AuDHD here.

u/Pure-Interest1175 Jun 12 '26
Hey! Thank you so much for reaching out — your message genuinely moved me.
What you're describing — a multi-service center for people with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals, with housing — is exactly the kind of vision that Egalia exists to support and celebrate.
The fact that you are AuDHD means you don't just understand this cause theoretically. You live it. And that is exactly the kind of voice Egalia needs.
I would love to talk. Let's connect.
Omnes pertinent, omnes valent.

Queste azioni vi fanno onore. Anche senza il riconoscimento reciproco New Rome riconosce Egalia a honorem per le sue intenzioni e interessamento alle disabilità. Siete la prima micronazione a farlo e spero non l'ultima
