Pre-micronational era
Kasteel Endegeest is een kasteel in de Nederlandse gemeente Oegstgeest. Het ligt in een bos annex park aan de Endegeesterstraatweg 5.

De oudste vermelding van een kasteel Endegeest dateert van 1307. Van 1641 tot 1643 verbleef de Franse filosoof René Descartes op het kasteel. Een borstbeeld van Descartes (gemaakt door Erszébet Baerveldt) op het kasteelplein herinnert nog aan deze beroemde bewoner. Het huidige kasteel is echter aanmerkelijk jonger en werd tussen 1647 en 1651 gebouwd in opdracht van Elisabeth van Schouwen van Endegeest en haar echtgenoot Jacob van Berchem. Daarna werd het gedeelte tussen de twee torens volgebouwd.

Voor het kasteel ligt een plein, dat door een poort toegankelijk is. Boven de poort is het familiewapen.

Op 31 december 1830 werd het kasteel verkocht aan Jhr mr. Dirck Cornelis Gevers van Endegeest (Rotterdam, 1763). Deze werd door zijn koetsier op 29 oktober 1839 levenloos aangetroffen in zijn koets. Het kasteel ging over naar zijn zoon Daniël.

In 1895 werd Endegeest gekocht door de gemeente Leiden om het als psychiatrische inrichting in gebruik te nemen. De opening werd door veel notabelen bijgewoond, waaronder Jan Heemskerk, minister van Binnenlandse Zaken, en F. Was, de liberale burgemeester van Leiden.

Meer dan 100 jaar lang werden het kasteel, het omliggende park en het landgoed gebruikt voor de geestelijke gezondheidszorg. De raad van bestuur en de concernstaf van GGZ Rivierduinen zetelden tot november 2016 in het kasteel. In 2018 heeft de Oudendal Groep het landgoed en vervolgens ook het kasteel met de veel jongere (1907) bijgebouwen aangekocht. GGZ Rivierduinen heeft nog enkele paviljoens aan de rand van het terrein in gebruik.

Osaze
Oszae was part of the Republic of Hoogwaard form April 12th until the dissolution of Hoogwaard on June 12th 2013 as part of Talaria, A semi autonomous state within Hoogwaard

Osaze declared independence from the Netherlands on January 4th 2022, when vetran micronationalist Shady Morsi proclaimed the Principality of Osaze. the reason why Osaze was proclaimed as a principality was mainly due to the Osassian government wish to not upstage the King of the Netherlands... and not wanting to be a kingdom within a kingdom, Plus it ads some legitimacy due to its small size and also fits the "aesthetic" of the microstate Altough a letter of independence has not been send out. A draft version was created and will be send once Osaze is 100 fully functional

Unlike with Shady Morsi’s other micronational projects. Morsi wanted to have a nation that fully commits to the 1933 Montevideo convention. And Osaze partialy did, Osaze as a state of international law possessd the following qualifications: a defined territory;  government; and capacity to enter into relations with the other states. Osaze however lacked a permanent population since the land is to small to be habitable. Osaze argued that the Osassian government has 100 percent control on their land and that Morsi even erected some stones when Morsi had an alotment in 2017 and also a nation that was rather a pysical micronation with actual memorabilia “in the spirit of Molossia, Sealand and Shadyvinkenstein.” With the goal of establishing ‘’a new nation cultural project’’ Osaze was more secessionist oriented with the plan of actually sending an independence decleration of Osaze towards the Mayor of Oegstgeest, the President of the Endergeest Borough Council. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands and the Dutch Monarchy. Osaze was also more closed off The constitution of Osaze only allows citizens that where.
