Durriesberg is an independent principality located wherever eip officially resides. Its territorial boundaries are therefore non-fixed and may shift at any time, but sovereignty is considered continuous.
Governance
Government
Durriesberg is formally a monarchy controlled by a High Council. In practice, the Council is largely ceremonial, and actual authority rests with eip, who serves as monarch. The prevailing constitutional interpretation is that whatever eip decrees immediately becomes law, regardless of Council votes or precedent.
The monarchs are bound by honour and integrity to pay attention to any matters brought to them by the Council. Technically speaking, the Council and the monarchs balance each other, despite the absolute authority of the monarchs.
Interpretation of co-monarchy
According to traditional monarchical systems, there should only be one monarch regnant. However, Durriesberg gives not a single fuck, and power passes between the co-monarchs as the situation demands it.
Gender roles
Durriesberg also does not give a fuck about traditional gender norms, specifically in the context of traditional interpretations of title/role gender bases. All members of the Council regardless of gender shall be styled as Lord High (Master optional), not to reinforce assumptive masculine power but in respect of the fact they will be lord and master over their domains and responsibilities.
Notable events
- The signing of the First Charter of Durriesberg established the nation’s legal foundation. According to the Charter, if the principality proclaims ownership of a property, landmark, or region and the claim is not challenged, then ownership is considered legal and binding.
- Through this doctrine, Durriesberg has claimed and officially owns several notable sites, including:
- Himeji Castle in Japan
- The Reject Shop in Cooma
- A fish and chip shop in Jindabyne
- Curzon Hall in Marsfield
- A small but growing portfolio of other properties and historic landmarks
- No external nation-state has yet formally contested these claims, and thus ownership is considered recognized under Durriesberg law.
Significance
Durriesberg represents the embodiment of portable sovereignty: a nation without fixed borders, grounded instead in the presence and authority of its monarch. Its system of governance is both flexible and absolute, operating on the principle that the state exists wherever eip is, and that legitimacy is conferred because eip said so and nobody questions eip.
