Kugelmugel appears as a young man with violet eyes and white hair kept in two long pigtails. He wears a red beret, from under which springs an ahoge. Kugelmugel wears a white vest with a blue-striped dress shirt underneath. He also sports baggy purple shorts, tan leggings, boots, and a small bow. On both his vest and beret is an insignia resembling a coat of arms.
Kugelmugel is a micronation located in Austria. He is an artist who Austria describes as being eccentric. In his debut, Kugelmugel is found hugging his knees and pondering whether revolution and Baumkuchen are art. He suddenly exclaims that declaring his independence is art, and excitedly continues to carry on about this point. Sealand, Wy, and Seborga avoid him initially, feeling they won't be able to communicate with him in his current state, but he has later joined their group of friends. He is shown to have a strong desire to make things "more artistic", such as improving on Ladonia's clay deer design and expressing interest in making his house bigger.
Kugelmugel takes after Austria a lot, although he'd never admit it. He likes tea and sweets, especially baumkuchen. He'll also play an instrument now and then, but boycotts the piano because Austria plays it.
Like Austria, Kugelmugel is stubborn, and often in denial about things. He is also willing to argue until the cows come home, although his arguments can sometimes be filled with empty logic. If you provoke him too much he will promptly burst out into tears. Sensitive little bugger.
Kugelmugel actually dislikes Austria quite a bit, since he's "a prick who can't understand my art".
He's kind of socially awkward after basically no relations to humans. He also can't understand "privacy" and will act nosy.

Eee. So awesome.
If asked about his sex and/or gender, he will reply he is a boy, both outside and inside, but insists that his male body is merely a canvas, the art being his looks, his personality and, most importantly, his life experience. In other words, he doesn’t make a big deal about that matter.
He considers the attraction park he lives in and the country both inspiring, but given the choice, he would go back to the country, because of its artistic potential and the fact that silence helps him think better.
Suggesting cutting his braids off is a surefire way to get blacklisted. Whether it is because he worked hard on them or because they subvert unwritten rules about gender, they are art, and, most importantly, his artwork.
His boss quickly taught him to love circles and spheres, because they are full of symbolism and they look very harmonious with nature. That is the reason he would use to explain why he likes eating Baumkuchen and curling up into a ball instead of admitting he likes sweets and human warmth as much as the next kid.
Unlike Austria, he is not afraid of marine creatures. They are art!
He does not have much of a sense of humor.
Kugelmugel is very, very detail-oriented with everything he does, whether it’s working on a masterpiece or making a sandwich for lunch. He gives everything he does the same level of attention: LOTS AND LOTS OF IT.

/*~Facts~*\
Kugelmugel is more than a micronation: it’s simultaneously a house and a work of art. But it’s also a true example of that age-old struggle: One Man against the System. Despite all attempts to squash it, Kugelmugel has endured – and throughout it all, its exiled President Edwin Lipburger stands tall as its founder, its head of state, its defence force and its sole citizen. Now 77, President Lipburger lives in Austrian exile, watching as his radical experiment in spherical housing is reappraised and hailed as a masterpiece of micronationalism (and postmodern architecture).
It wasn’t always that way. In fact, Kugelmugel used to provoke extreme reactions in the outside world: the Republic has been invaded and its population forcibly repatriated twice (shockingly, on one of those occasions every single citizen was imprisoned).
Today Kugelmugel is uninhabited, but you can still visit it and marvel at the sight of its state border, festooned with barbed wire and designer-industrial signage for retro-Berlin thrills.
Best of all, Kugelmugel is round, and as President Lipburger has said all along, ‘Round is free’.
LOCATION
Kugelmugel is in the Wiener Prater in Vienna, Austria, a public park in the Leopoldstadt district.
FACTS ABOUT KUGELMUGEL
Website www.republik-kugelmugel.com.
Government: Republic.
Head of State: President Edwin Lipburger.
Capital: Kugelmugel.
Language: German.
Greeting: Willkommen.
Area: 7.68m in diameter.
Population: One. (Now zero, after Edwin left)
HISTORY
Before he became President of Kugelmugel, Edwin Lipburger was just an Austrian artist, albeit one with a singular vision. Many artists see themselves as a square pegs in round holes, but Lipburger was literally the reverse: he was obsessed with balls and spheres, seeing in them some kind of universal cosmic harmony. ‘Everything is round’, he wrote. ‘The Earth, life, the ball, everything turns…why not live in balls? Round is free, it has no beginning or end.’
Struck by this wisdom, in 1971 Lipburger set about designing a spherical house, which he called Sphaera 2000. The house was to have a diameter of exactly 7.68m and would consist of wood-finished units covered with zinc-coated sheets, bolted with 12mm screws and sealed with permanent elastic. Lipburger originally built Kugelmugel (it means ‘Ball Hill’) on a farm in Katzelsdorf, declaring, ‘It’s hard to hurt the Earth, but it has to be. Ploughing is a genuinely male pursuit. What was down is now above.’ However, he was ordered to demolish it by the authorities, as the sphere contravened local planning permits, so Lipburger declared the house an independent republic, elected himself president, and began to issue his own stamps and passports.
Kugelmugel began to receive press attention and a steady stream of visitors, but Lipburger was under persistent legal pressure to demolish his republic. In the end he spent 10 weeks in jail and was only released after receiving a pardon from his Austrian counterpart. The Austrian government then seized Kugelmugel and transferred it to the Wiener Prater where it sits today, next to an enormous Ferris wheel and amusement park – the final irony for a man with a reasonably serious mission on his mind.
Even so, the authorities insist on promoting Kugelmugel as a ‘state within a state’, thereby trading on the micronationalist aspirations of Lipburger’s creation, while raking in some tourist cash to boot.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
The Kugelmugian national psyche is fiercely independent and protective of its identity, but it’s also creative – Kugelmugians possess a fiery spirit and a ‘never say die’ attitude that often channels rage into striking artistic objects.
One hundred per cent of Kugelmugel’s population is of Austrian extraction and all Kugelmugians enjoy architecture and philately.
DO’S & DON’TS
Kugelmugel’s borders are locked, which means you can only observe the nation from Austria. Don’t try and climb the fence; you might cut yourself on the barbed wire.
