History[edit]
The name Dytkosia came from Jeff Dytko, following an idea of his to create his own nation in his cubicle, so he could compete in the Olympics. Him and his friend brainstormed ideas, landing on the pseudonym Dytkosia as the name of the country.
On May 24, 2024, Bennett Dytko conceived the idea of creating a micronation at K&W Drive-In near Springboro, Ohio, that would encompass the landmass of their home in Centerville, Ohio. Inspired by other notable micronations such as Sealand, Molossia, and the Aerican Empire, the Dytko family—Bennett, Jeff, Paula, and Juliet—began to shape their new nation.
Following initial discussions, the family collaboratively designed a national flag using PicMonkey, incorporating symbols and colors significant to their identity. A national anthem was composed, drawing inspiration from hobbies and interests shared by the Dytko family, further establishing a sense of unity and culture within the Republic of Dytkosia.
Flag of Dytkosia[edit]
The Flag of Dytkosia consists of four triangles, two elongated and two regular. The flag’s colors are based on the family’s favorite colors. The original flag designs were inspired by the French flag, and a coat of arms was inspired by Spain's.
