Shireroth

Humble tenants, peasants and passers-by of Demesos, Although Malarbor knows all, you my loyals may have been concerned as to my quietness these couple of weeks. Fear not, I live! (But only just, after contracting a nasty case of flu last Wednesday). I may have been infected when I attended the coron...

At that moment, a footman scurried up to Count Darcy with the look on his face of the mouse chosen to bell the cat. He kept his voice low and avoided the eyes of his master. "Your Honor, a message from Mr Jagger: The Rolling Stones will not be able to appear. Mr Jagger says that they have had some ...

A question, Your Eminence ... does religious freedom prevail in Sermolot, or is the "state and main religion" (as expressed in the Baronial Decree) a jealous and exclusive one?

My Lord Senechal, I present thee my humble duty and salute you in this hour of your elevation and glory. Behold, I bear with my noble colleague Harvey Count of New Jasonia, that of which I am unworthy and which itself shall be made venerable and honoured when borne by thee ... the Imperial Crown of ...

John slinks into an inconspicuous seat at the back.

I am pleased to hear of Harvey's elevation to Count, and will do him the honour of a formal visit to his County at the earliest opportunity.

I have been overruled, and as I am loyal to Her Niftyness, I obey.

I, John Darcy, Count of Demesos, hereby Order as follows: In due deference to Her Niftyness Kaiseress Anandja who did this day lift the banishment Ordered on William, Duke Consort of Elwynn, Baron of Neurak, Count of Benacia, the said Order of 28 June 2009 (3613 ASC) declaring the said William pers...

So you mean that it is okay to be a citizen of another micronation, as you are, but it is not okay to start a new one? Example 1: Barack Obama takes up citizenship of Kenya. He holds no formal nor informal positions there, just a passport. Whilst there would be an enormous hue and cry and calls for...

But the point is, he hasn't shown nothing but loyalty and devotion to Shireroth as evidenced by him starting a new micronation in February. You can't convince me otherwise.

(This is why, generally speaking, I would greatly prefer that there were term limits for Congress in the U.S.; preferably very sharp ones. Two terms for representatives, one for senators.) Think about that for a second. You would put the discretionary power of lawmaking into the hands of people wit...

Weren't you the King of Novasolum, sir? I was and I am; but I specifically said when I applied for citizenship here that I would not be carrying that style and title here in Shireroth. Neither have I sought diplomatic relations between Shireroth and Novasolum, since that would mean a conflict of in...

I, John Darcy, Count of Demesos, hereby Order as follows: William, Duke Consort of Elwynn, Baron of Neurak, Count of Benacia is hereby declared persona non grata in the County of Demesos unless and until he shall swear anew his allegiance to the Kaiser, to the Imperial Republic, and to his Duchy de...

Introduce myself? I've been in Shireroth for almost a year now. If people don't know me by now then that's their fault. William Duke Consort of Elwynn Baron of Neurak Count of the most wonderful and delightful and curvacious county of Benacia So, if you are the Duke Consort of Elwynn, the Baron of ...

What they should be excited about is developing their website and forum, growing a population, cultivating a culture ... it's called nation-building.

She has been around much longer than Dr Quinn. I remember her as Solitaire in Live and Let Die, and as Serena in Battlestar Galactica.

Not that I am part of the diplomatic negotiations around here or anything, but it occurs to me that you don't lob on the doorstep of a foreign nation, introduce yourself for the first time out of nowhere, and throw a treaty on the table to be signed. What ever happened to exchange of cultural envois...

I was actually thinking on a much larger scale - a worldwide scale, and not limited to micronationalism - hence Shireroth is a small entity (and Anthelia was a microscopic entity ) whilst a large entity is the United States or India.

Then analyze why they survive instead of using the common rhetoric against democracy. Amongst small-population entities, those with power concentrated in a few (oligarchy) or in one (autocracy) survive because those with the power are self-interested in maintaining and preserving the system. The sy...

I believe it, I'm not stunned or distressed about it in the same way that I would be if, say, Paul McCartney suddenly died. Or even Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Jane Seymour, or Sean Connery, or Tiger Woods, or Cadel Evans, or George Lucas, or Cate Blanchett, ... I was more affected by the deaths of Gr...

Actually, Leo, a model United Nations would involve representatives of micronations gathered in assembly to speak at length and pass resolutions on matters totally out of their control.

This project is for a stand-alone micronation. And it is pretty cool, or will be if we get a quorum.

The Count has been caught on the hop by this. I just tried to read the thread and it was more disjointed than a cooked turkey on Thanksgiving Day.

A few succinct words of summary, please. And then we shall discuss Commercial Property Tax payable for businesses based in Destrykara

Anyone who has read MicroHub, or the old MNN, in the last year may have encountered discussion on "MicroGov", a putative project to form a micronation grounded (so to speak, being an online thing) entirely in the real world. The project has a new forum of its own - here . Anyone who believes that a ...

Very well, I accept the challenge :smashy The tunnel - which was very rough cut - will be properly developed.

Or by air. With nothing to the east of the city but 200 miles of lake, there are definite possibilities.
