**Mahuset**, officially the **United Kingdom of Greater Mahuset and the Mahusetan Realm** is a self-declared independent nation-state, commonly referred to as a micronation by external observers, with claims in Europe, Antarctica, and Asia. It is governed as a federation, with various systems in its numerous states. Mærtan Ihuset, Radon and Cherrystan (Matsia) together make up mainland Mahuset, in Northwestern Europe.

Mahuset was a federated state and a constitutional democratic monarchy with a king, Emilo I and administered by a parliament known as the Triumphant Parliament. While the laws of the states are subordinate to federal law, the federal government does not have any regulations on the means for administering states and as such the states all have their own unique system of governance. It is regarded as a minor inter-micronational diplomatic power and a leading cultural and political power in Europe.

Mahuset, with a mixed market capitalist economy, ranked as having a high level of income equality. It was frequently ranked as a happy and lowly corrupt nation. The national language, Italic Mahusetan, is closely related to Italian, Dutch, Radonic, and English. Mahuset was the only surviving successor to the defunct Mahusetan predecessors which are the Kingdom of Ihuset, the Kingdom of Matsia, the Kingdom of Radon and all Cookielandic and Kittylandic states. Mahuset itself is now succeeded by several micronations, those being the United States of Dolmenia, Slin, Itazaria, Danland and the Co-Kingdom of Krasota.

Mahuset is a "Fifth World" micronation with a score of 12 under the Boodlesmythe-Tallini System and scores 4.2 on the Categoric-Gradial/Linden's (Revised) System.

## History

### Early Mahuset era (May-November 2012)

Mahuset was founded as a unity between Matsia and Ihuset, the original name was: "United Nations of Mahuset" but it had quickly changed to: "Royal United Nations of Mahuset". It was inspired by Ancient Rome and Holland. Mahuset quickly gained diplomacy and a great significance within the MicroWikia community. Vetria had established diplomatic relations with Mahuset in this era.

### Modern Mahusetan era (November 2012 - July 2014)

Mahuset had the first stable government in this era. It changed from "Royal United Nations of Mahuset" to "Kingdom of Mahuset", and from "Kingdom of Mahuset" to "Confederated Kingdom of Mahuset" and back to "Kingdom of Mahuset" which was the last stable government. At this time the Eniakist ideology was started and gained a great significance. When the Eniakisation of Mahuset started, Mahuset started to reach a higher HDI fairly quick. Due to the rapid expansion of Eniakism which had been deemed similar to the Rise of Communism, the Ashukov Federation banned Eniakism and with that, ended the relations with Mahuset. The Triumphant Parliament had started in this era which marked the end of the pure Eniakist government and the start of the first semi-Eniakist government since May 2013.

### Collapse

Even though it had a stable government, three of the micronations started disputes, especially about the new acts in the constitution or conflicting ideals. This happened three times, the last one meaning the start of the collapse of Mahuset. After an inactivity of about a week, Poseidon-Ihuset went defunct, leaving Mahuset without a king, thus ending Mahuset.
