Welcome to Mekniy and Lurk, a free-spirited micronation

Mekniy and Lurk is a union of two micronations – Mekniy, with its rich culture, own language and focus on self-expression; and Lurk, with liberty, freedom of thought, nature conservation and minimalism at heart. Since our foundation(s) in the early 2010s, we have built an efficient government, an expressive culture, and built connections that last. We have built a tolerant society, a vibrant democracy and future-looking governance systems, built democratic institutions and helped the micronational world stay connected. We value technological sovereignty, privacy, and creative use of technology.

Who are we

We are a micronation – an entity that looks and acts like a real country, but lacks the international standing to be one. We are realists – we know we are not a “real” country, but we still explore the concepts of sovereignty and nation-building in creative and novel ways.

We create. We share. Over the years, we have produced various things – from music, constructed languages, legal documents, flags, myths, games, coins, videos, payment systems, search engines and dadaist chatbots.

What do we do

Where are we

We are located in the historical lands of Bohemia known as Czech Paradise, which you might know from games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. We have other territories near Prague. We do not claim to be in control of those territories, they are merely significant to our history, or it includes where our citizens live.

Nney est alta ineul asx

State motto

It is only in us

We are guided by our principle – Nney est alta ineul asx – the idea of Mekniy and Lurk is within us; it is a manifestation of ourselves, it is not a country in the traditional sense, and as an idea, it cannot ever be taken from us, and is always with us. Our territorial claims are symbolic, much of our early history is best described as a myth, and while our traditions are practiced, they are a synthesis. This idea does not prevent us from exploring traditional aspects of governance, but we are not beholden by conventional expectations.

We use this principle to build a meaningful expression of our members. You might have noticed this motto is in Nissian, one of our national languages, which perfectly shows this motto in action.
