If it's 1.5mm then you've just found the smallest Formica pallidefulva queen in the word!

Do you mean 15mm? That would make this Camponotus castaneus. It looks like Formica pallidefulva to me, from this angle, but those are only 10-12mm. Are the measurements accurate? a couple more pictures wouldn't hurt, either.
If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.
Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

It has to be Formica Pallidefulva. She's around 11mm.

Hey, she's been in a test tube setup ever since and she has yet to lay any eggs. Suggestions?

She's probably just taking her time. Letting her relax for a bit can only help.
