The United Margraviates of Cenit, or just United Margraviates, also known as "Serenissima Republica", MUC for its trigraph, or simply Cenit, is one of the five cantons constituing Free Community of Pasargada. Its main distinctive feature is being a genuinely bilingual canton. Most of the population speaks both spanish and portuguese and citizens aren´t based only in Brazil, but also in Peru, Argentina and Colombia. Therefore, it is recognized as a unique piece of micronationry.
In 2004, pasargadan-peruvian pioneer Mauricio Villacrez engaged seriously in building an hispanophone minority inside Pasargada. A very polemical initiative, it was finally approved by november that year, and so the Canton of Pacifica was created. Later, Pacifica was rebaptized as Cenit (spanish word for zenith).
The canton has complex political system that mixes sucessfully constitutionalism, federalism and feudalism. In the words of Villacrez, Cenitian regimen incorporates "elements brought from lessons of Greek historian Polibio, North-American federal democracy, British pure parliamentarism and middle-age feudalism".
Legislative power is enforced by the Council of Delos, which elects the executive officer: Seneschal. Judicial power is conducted by the Palatine, serving as Constitutional Court. The Statute of Cenit is the oldest cantonal constitution within the Free Community.
Besides the bilingual characteristic, Cenit has become famous because of most charming "Cenitian Week" (CW), which takes place twice a month. In the CW, Cenitians celebrate together in literary meetings, declamation of poetry, music critique, zen activities and other cultural events.
