Orfalia, officially the Kingdom of Orfalia (Spanish: Reino de Orfalia), is an cultural nation [1] but the macronational entities say its a micronation. Founded on the city of Puerto de Mazarrón, declared independence from Spain in 19 August 2015.

Is the natural heir of Timeria, assuming as own the artistic and cultural creations and the traditions of Timeria.

Etymology

The name Orfalia is a composition between Orfeo and -alia (land) in ancient greek. Orpheus (Greek: Ὀρφεύς) was a legendary musician, poet, and prophet in ancient Greek religion and myth. The major stories about him are centered on his ability to charm all living things and even stones with his music, his attempt to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, from the underworld, and his death at the hands of those who could not hear his divine music. As an archetype of the inspired singer, Orpheus is one of the most significant figures in the reception of classical mythology in Western culture, portrayed or alluded to in countless forms of art and popular culture including poetry, film, opera, music, and painting. For the Greeks, Orpheus was a founder and prophet of the so-called "Orphic" mysteries. He was credited with the composition of the Orphic Hymns, a collection of which survives. Shrines containing purported relics of Orpheus were regarded as oracles. Some ancient Greek sources note 'Orpheus' Thracian origins.
