'''Raphania''', also known as '''Raphistan''', officially the '''Grand Emirate of Raphania''', is a [[micronation]] made up of a 1.16 square acre property in north-eastern Arizona and another 0.32 square acre property in southern Arizona. The realm operates as a neo-absolute monarchy and is under the rulership of the properties' owner, the nation's sovereign and founder; Charles, who acts as Grand Emir of Raphania. Due to the state's special status as a separate property legally owned by the monarch both inside and outside of micronationalism and its remote location (thus not entirely being within any local Town or City jurisdiction), the land is able to operate with a high degree of autonomy, bordering on near complete independence, at the whim of the Grand Emir. | '''Raphania''', also known as '''Raphistan''', officially the '''Grand Emirate of Raphania''', is a [[micronation]] made up of a 1.16 square acre property in north-eastern Arizona and another 0.32 square acre property in southern Arizona.
