About

Duke, commonly referred to as the Principality of Duke, is a self-declared sovereign nation, or more commonly known as a micronation to outsiders. Duke declared its independence on 5 October 2017 in the United States. Duke is composed of 5 princely states that have land claims in Hong Kong, Catalonia, and Germany with the larger predominant piece of land located in the United States. The nation's mainland is surrounded by the State of New York in the United States of America. The current Prince of Duke is Tom Kap.

Duke's official capital is the city of Chatham, more commonly known as Chatham City. Other cities include Lesser Chatham and Klixan. The Principality consists of five Princely States, and a myriad of other possessions. English, and Arabic are the most commonly used native languages of Duke, and Kanglap and English are Duke's official languages.

Due to the fact that it has citizens, territory, a functional government and the capacity to enter diplomatic relations with other states, Duke claims to be a sovereign state as defined by the Montevideo Convention of 1933.
