abstract | - The Kingdom of Craobhach (Irish: Ríocht na Craobhaí), often simply called Craobhach, is a self-declared independent constitutional monarchy, commonly referred to as a micronation by external observers, with claims in County Dublin and County Wicklow within the Republic of Ireland. Claiming 4,469 acres of territory and a population of 3,967 (although currently having only 7 citizens), Craobhach's eponymous capital is the current seat of power. The largest city however, is, Baile Nua, with nearly 60% of the population and most industry prospering there. Craobhach is traditionally said to be founded in 1184 AD, however the current state was established on 8 February 2016, with a constitution ratified on 20 March that year. The Kingdom rules as a "crowned republic", with the monarch, known as the Ceannaire and currently Jack I, having no discretion over governmental and constitutional issues. The parliament, known as the Rialtóirí (English: rulers), is unicameral and has 6 seats. The head of government is known as the Príomh and is elected every 3 years along with a new government.
