How you heard about Shireroth: Um, good question. I think it started way back in the CIS when I first was shown the MCS map. So put down "Micras".
Previous micronational experience: I've been Royalty, Minister of Just About Everything, Noble, Lowly Peasant... though I can't garantee doing that well in anything.
Anything else about you: I left 3 nations in one week. They've gotta be pissed, pardon my french.

How come all the new young micronationalists are so... young...? At your age I was just watching from the sidelines, trying to figure out what everyone was going on about...

Gotta get in there early, Ari. All you oldies are indeed older, much older in some cases, and if I remain in this hobby for that long I'll have had a longer run in the fast lane with any luck. Or you could apply the logic of "Live fast, die young" in which I leave in a couple of years. Ah well.

Oh, don't worry about that. You're way too deeply infested for any natural force to get micronationalism out of you anymore. Just avoid letting the rest of your life interfere with it .

Man I'm gonna be emo as heck in 10 years - imagine all the things that will have gone! All the great people! All the great nations! Perhaps even all the great worlds! And that is why its better to leave - things fall apart without you. If you come back at all to see things broken, you think "Oh well - time does its thing." Or if you don't return, it doesn't matter. But if you're there, and the flames are going out one by one before your eyes - its terrible.

So, um, I completely forgot this: Welcome to Shireroth!

*agrees to change in subject*

Thanks. I think I'll like it here.

This is the day we will never forget... Benker is official citizen of Shireroth... I must crie of it

Ehh... welcome

Amazing!!! I'm off the computer for 2 hours and the world turns upsidedown. Benkern--welcome, indeed, to Shireroth. You have been one of the most involved non-citizens in the history of Shireroth, and it is a great pleasure and privilege to welcome you officially to citizenship in our fair country. You know the lay of the land as well as most of us, and we just need to know where you would like to make your permanent residence. I hereby stamp your application "Approved" and welcome you with open arms and a hearty, "It's about time!"

Welcome Welcome benkern.

(looks at citizenship) ... so you're out of Matbaa and NB then?

Heh, your birthday is the same day as my girlfriend's, just 2 years prior...

OK, all Qualifers gone.

Welcome, Baron of Vorpmadal and Count of Mar Sara!

Indeed.... Welcome!

And the Holzer Empire, formerly known as Holzborg.

Thank you all for the great welcome! I have been longing for this day for months, it feels wonderful to finally be a full part of this warm, virbant community.
