PROCLAMATION 0001 Prescribing flags for the Electorate of Aspenwald MICHAEL, by the grace of God, Count Palatine and Prince-elector of Aspenwald, &c, to all to whom these presents shall come, GREETINGS: WHEREAS the County Palatine and Electorate of Aspenwald currently lacks a flag or flags with which to represent itself; AND WHEREAS it is deemed necessary and proper to prescribe appropriate flags as symbols to represent the County Palatine and Electorate of Aspenwald; LET IT BE KNOWN, therefore, that I do by this my proclamation appoint and declare that the official state flag, or Staatsflagge, of Aspenwald shall consist of “an array of 21 or more lozenges of gold and white”, and that it may be considered to be both a state and cultural flag of Aspenwald; AND LET IT ALSO BE KNOWN, that a secondary flag shall also be prescribed consisting of “a bicolor of white above gold” which may or may not be defaced by the Arms of Aspenwald (“or an eagle azure”) as a standard to represent mysel

Q: Where is Apsenwald? Does it have a physical territory? A: In short, "nowhere" and "no". Aspenwald isn't anywhere. The County Palatine and Electorate of Aspenwald is not a country nor even technically a micronation. We make no claims of sovereignty over any physical territory. Aspenwald is, in fact, an electoral estate and fiefdom of the Empire of Great Hanover, a miniature monarchy which itself does not claim any specific physical territory. We Aspenwalders are far more interested in explorations of Anglo-Germanic culture and tradition with all the respectable trappings of monarchy than we are in laying claim to any imaginary land or territory. That does not, however, mean that we are not extremely serious about who we are and what we do! Our government is as "real" as any, and we treat it as such, despite not being bound by any specific physical borders.
