Frequently Asked Questions

No, we do not align with the concept of sovereign citizens. The sovereign citizen movement is not recognized or endorsed by Kaharagia. Kaharagian nationals residing outside Kaharagian territory are expected and obligated to abide by the laws of the respective countries in which they reside. We emphasize the importance of respecting and complying with the legal frameworks established by the host countries, as we value the principles of lawful citizenship and responsible participation in the global community.

We do not align ourselves with either the right-wing or libertarian ideologies. In fact, we espouse a fairly liberal stance on numerous policies, including but not limited to LGBTQ+ rights, a woman’s right to choose, and the adoption of absolute primogeniture. Our approach emphasizes the nation’s responsibility to safeguard and support its citizens. Consequently, we reject the principles of libertarianism, as we believe in the importance of a protective and supportive role for the state in ensuring the well-being and prosperity of its populace.

The coat of arms features a distinctive design with a crowned black eagle displayed on a field of gold/yellow. This heraldic motif, commonly found in German and other continental heraldry, has remained unchanged since the inception of the principality. While sharing similarities with the German coat of arms, such as the presence of an eagle, our coat of arms distinguishes itself by incorporating a crown upon the eagle. It is important to note that heraldic designs are not required to be unique across different jurisdictions; rather, they are intended to be distinctive within their respective realms. Thus, our coat of arms maintains its distinctiveness, representing the heritage and identity of our principality.

The acquisition of a Kaharagian title or knighthood through purchase is not possible. Our principality upholds the principles outlined in Royal Decree No. 5/2010, which explicitly prohibits the sale of titles and honours. This decree, enacted by the Prince as one of the foundational tenets of our principality, ensures the integrity of our system. It is crucial to note that engaging in such transactions is not only forbidden but also reprehensible, as it serves as a deceptive means for scammers to exploit individuals seeking titles. In Kaharagia, titles and honours are bestowed solely based on demonstrated service, dedication, and meritorious contributions, reinforcing the core values that underpin our principality.

The process of obtaining Kaharagian Nationality, which grants the rights of non-resident citizenship, begins with submitting a petition to the Sovereign Prince. We refer to this as nationality rather than citizenship. It is important to note that in recent years, we have encountered cases where individuals submitted nationality applications but failed to maintain active engagement with the principality. Consequently, in late 2020, those individuals were removed from the roll of nationals. As we embark on our second decade, we seek individuals who are genuinely committed to serving the realm. To initiate the process of applying for Kaharagian Nationality, please access the “Nationality” link located at the top of our website and complete the provided form.

In the past, the Prince’s style was called Serene Highness. However, this designation was later altered by a Sovereign Order to align with the significant authority held by our Sovereign Prince, known as imperium maius. In the Kaharagian language, the Sovereign’s title, Crnez, signifies a royal sovereign who ranks higher than a reigning Prince but does not hold the title of King or Emperor. While we value and respect royal titles and traditions, we have made adjustments to suit the unique context of our nation.

The conferral of Kaharagian titles is a highly selective process. In Kaharagia, the Sovereign’s parents and other siblings are not closely involved in the nation’s affairs, and therefore, they do not hold any official roles or responsibilities. However, it is worth mentioning that until 2019, Princess Sheilla held the esteemed position of Grand Master of the Order of the Eagle, where she provided valuable guidance to the Prince in matters concerning the design and upkeep of the Order. Similarly, Princess Gloria has served as a Privy Councillor, offering her expertise and advice to the Prince. It is important to emphasize that Kaharagian titles are not bestowed for superficial or self-indulgent reasons. They are exclusively granted to family members who actively serve the Sovereign and the people of Kaharagia.

On the 12th Anniversary of Kaharagia in July 2022, The Count Ericksen was granted the prestigious title of Prince. Initially, when the Prince established the Principality, he extended the offer to make all members of his immediate family Princes and Princesses of the Blood. However, at that time, The Count Ericksen declined the title. Nevertheless, recognizing his significant contributions and enduring dedication to the Royal House, The Count Ericksen was later bestowed with the title of Prince. Today, both Princess Sheilla, Countess Ericksen, and Princess Gloria continue to provide invaluable advice and counsel to the Sovereign, actively serving in advisory capacities within the Principality.

In accordance with the Charter of the Royal House of Kaharagia, Princess Gloria is styled as “Her Highness” rather than “Her Royal Highness.” This distinction arises from the specific provisions outlined in the Charter. The Charter recognizes the status of Princess Sheilla and her husband, Prince Raymond, Count and Countess Ericksen, who hold the rank equivalent to that of a Child of the Sovereign. Consequently, their children, including Princess Gloria, are styled as “Highness” in accordance with this lineage-based protocol. This practice not only acknowledges the importance of their position within the Princely Family but also upholds the principles and traditions of the Royal House of Kaharagia.
