About Marienbourg

It is a tiny piece of land formed by privated properties and united as a country out of the free will of its people. The little country is located in the Brazilian highlands, enclaves in the state of Minas Gerais, in the east part South America.

Marienbourg is a modern democratic parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a Duke as head of state and an elected Minister-President as head of government. We are the only Duchy in South America! The country is formed by two confederated municipalities that are free to administer themselves and secede, if it be their will. With several mechanisms of direct democracy in place, the Marienbourgish people can participate directly in political decision-making. Learn more at the MicroWiki!
