Nucilandia (sometimes spelled NuciLandia), previously known as Mlendea's House Republik, is a micronation in Romania and the virtual world. It is a monarchy led by the Great Walnut, currently Hori. The country has a strong emphasis on the worship of the Holy Walnut, which is believed to be the primordial walnut, from which all other walnuts descend, and is recognized as a source of life in the religion of Ciupitism.

Nucilandia's closest ally is the Brotherhood of the United Blocks.

Name

The name Nucilandia finds its etymological roots in the fusion of the Nucian and Romanian languages. It is primarily derived from the word "nuci," which translates to "walnuts" in both languages. Additionally, the term incorporates the word "land," denoting a geographical area, followed by the common suffix "ia," often utilized in the nomenclature of nations.

The resulting appellation, Nucilandia, can be interpreted to signify "The land of the walnuts" or "The country of the walnuts."

The exact origin of the name Nucilandia remains an enigma, as historical records do not definitively pinpoint its first usage. Nevertheless, there is a noteworthy belief proposed by Hori, the Great Walnut and father of the nation, who attributes the potential origination of the name to Mibu. However, despite Hori's account, conclusive evidence has yet to substantiate this claim, leaving the true progenitor of the name in the annals of uncertainty.

The name Nucilandia holds profound cultural and religious significance within the country. It alludes to the veneration of the esteemed Holy Walnut, a sacred entity revered by the people of Nucilandia. The walnut's symbolic value is deeply engrained in the nation's traditions and belief systems, making the name Nucilandia an embodiment of their reverence for this extraordinary nut.

As Nucilandia continues to evolve in its diverse cultural tapestry and national identity, the name remains a vital emblem of the country's rich and unique heritage linked to the revered walnut.
