History	The Principality of Paulovia has a colourful 'history' as a minor European monarchy. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, war and geo-political changes caused the slow decline and eventual loss of Paulovian estates in Italy, Greece, Russia and elsewhere in western Europe.
Location	The International Embassy and the Diplomatic and Cultural Mission are located in the United Kingdom but Paulovian Honorary Citizens are resident worldwide. To provide a national geographical and cultural focal point the virtual Paulovian Islands was created.
Consulates	Honorary Citizens can become a serving member of the Paulovia Diplomatic Service by becoming a regional consulate and campaign for a more socially and environmentally just world and raise funds for international and local charities. We have regional  Consulates throughout the world working to further the charitable and educational aims of Paulovia locally.
