Kugelmugel

It came about as the result of the artist Edwin Lipburger constructing the 8 square meter diameter spherical object without permissions from the authorities in Austria.

In 1971, the 8-square meter in diameter building was constructed by Edwin Lipburger and his son Nikolaus in Katzelsdorf near Wiener Neustadt in Lower Austria.

[3][1] In 1982 the building was officially adopted by the city of Vienna by then-mayor Helmut Zilk who granted the object "asylum".

Subsequently in 2022, Nikolaus Lipburger hired Linda Treiber as new president of the nation to manage Kugelmugel.

Kugelmugel is a character in Hetalia: Axis Powers, a Japanese webcomic, manga and anime about personified countries.
