"The proclamation of the New Richmond Republic was an historic victory for the New Richmonder working people. No longer would New Richmonders be governed by parliaments and governments of ravenous, wicked reactionaries or the feeble, insipid liberals who fail to combat them – now, we govern ourselves through the people’s councils and a Central People’s Government composed of our comrades. For the very first time in our decade of history, the New Richmonder people have wholly liberated themselves and built their very own state. With the immortal thought of Hewittism, the Blair Mountain League wages a perpetual revolutionary struggle against reaction in the name of constructing microsocialism in the New Richmonder cantons of Old Roanoke and Campestria. The popular union of state with party and the supreme rule of the people’s councils, in accordance with the teachings of Mother Hewitt, are our guarantee of victory..."
- from the Preamble of the Basic Law
The New Richmond Republic is a federal, socialist-oriented, republican micronation based in the Central Appalachian Coalfields of Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia, the Bluegrass region of Central Kentucky, and Appalachian Ohio, with unincorporated territory in California. A successor to various preceding micronations, modern New Richmonder society began as a colony of the Empire of Austenasia in 2013; since then, it has evolved to become an independent state dedicated to progressivism, preservation and promotion of Appalachian culture, and the establishment of microsocialism - realistic micronational socialism.
