New Batavia Colony

New Batavia Colony is the captial of the Republic of Displaced Calvinists.

The town was founded near the Volta River in West Africa by members of the French branch of the Reformed Church after their predominantly Roman Catholic homeland passed a series of Anti-Huguenot laws, forcing them into exile. With a charter from the French Republic, the exiled Protestants were allowed to build New Batavia as a refuge for Calvinists seeking to escape persecution in Europe. The tiny colony soon found that it had been left to fend for itself, leading the New Batavia's leadership to declare independence. In October of 2006, New Batavia Colony announced itself as the capital of the newly formed Republic of Displaced Calvinists. Sheldomar Bolak was elected as the colony's first Governor General. The Governor General serves as both the Republic's head of state as well as the city's mayor. The internal affairs of the town are governed by a classis, or council, made up of six civic members and three Protestant clergymen.

New Batavia Colony has quickly grown as a commercial trading center, exporting cattle and Volta River water in exchange for other valuable commodities. It currently has a thriving fast-food industry and Bible printing house.
