"aRepublic" or "The aRepublic of Pachango Empire" is a conceptual work of contemporary art created by artist, blogger, and traveler Anzor Hoashal⇱.

History:

In 2011, Anzor, a native of the Caucasus, set off on a journey around the world—one that continues to this day. Pursuing his dream, he explored new countries, studied the cultures of different peoples, and shared his adventures on his YouTube channel.

Anzor spoke to his audience about freedom and the nature of borders, about how millions of people unconsciously participate in foreign wars, playing assigned roles in a system built for political business. He reflected on life, raising eternal philosophical questions—about the meaning of existence, the pursuit of happiness and inner harmony, fear, and the courage to stand against the system. He explained how modern slavery works and how to break free from it to live a truly free life.

But the longer his journey continued, the harder it became. Constant issues at border crossings, detentions, and deportations became his everyday reality. Moreover, over the years, not only did his follower count grow, but so did the number of haters who disagreed with his worldview.

Some were angered by his independence, others mocked him and celebrated when he found himself in yet another difficult situation, while others still accused him of foolishness and demanded he take the "right" side in the latest military conflict.

This went on for several years until the fall of 2014. On November 25th, Anzor uploaded a video announcing the creation of his own state—the Pachango Empire—and proclaimed himself its Chieftain.

This was an artistic act—a tool of protest, rethinking, and awakening. On one hand, it was a serious challenge to the established order; on the other, a light, ironic gesture highlighting how absurdly people live within artificial borders of their own making. It not only mocked the system’s absurdity but also invited people to see the world differently.

Anzor didn't anticipate how far his impulsive message would go. It seemed like just another ironic manifesto destined to vanish in the endless stream of information. Yet the very next day, when he checked his YouTube channel, he saw not only a flood of angry comments from haters but also the first people expressing a desire to become citizens of this new nation. And so began the story of the Pachango Empire.

Over time, the idea took shape. The first passports were issued. Symbols emerged: a flag, an anthem, a language, a constitution, and other national symbols. Communities of like-minded people began forming worldwide—not just online but in real life, meeting to discuss ideas, share experiences, and simply feel part of something greater.

Thus, a virtual state gradually transformed into a cultural movement. What once seemed like a utopia now began to look like a real alternative—lacking physical territory, perhaps, but rich with real people, ideas, and shared meaning.

At some point, it became clear that the idea had outgrown symbolism and talk and was ready for its next step. The question arose more and more often: Why don’t we have our own land yet? If a state exists in people’s minds, why shouldn’t it take physical form?

And so, in 2025, Anzor made the decision to launch an official website—not only as a digital home for citizens of the Pachango Empire but also as a tool to realize the project’s boldest dream: the purchase of a private island.

Thus began the fundraising campaign to acquire real territory for the new nation. For now, there’s only one method of collecting funds: selling advertising pixels on the website’s homepage.

You, too, can become part of history by supporting the project and joining the movement. By purchasing ad space, you’re not just supporting the dream of founding a new state—you’re also gaining a valuable platform to promote your brand or business. Every pixel on the homepage is a unique opportunity to place your message—an image or text with a link to your resource. Your ad will be seen by thousands of people worldwide following the project, whose visibility grows with each passing day.
