Paramount was a communal based anarchist/socialist micronation that was based on the period of socialist prosperity prior to the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. Originally founded by John Sager after learning that Audentes played a role in the collapse of AFTP/GAPR/Temoe, its primary goal was to be a nuisance and threaten Audentior. "James Bond" was the other citizen of note, who at the time was in charge of Audentior's Military. Despite this agent, Paramount did not do much except fake any sort of ability to damage Audentior, and it soon faded away. It also failed to use its moderating power of Audentior's Military Forum for anything. Paramount was later re-founded after John Sager secured its land from whoever had it at the time (People's Republic of Hell or Antartica?). Teaming with the notorious Thomas Hubert and a couple of Hubert's possibly fake friends, Paramount tried to establish itself as a legitimate "renegade" nation. It was refounded on January 25th, 2003. The forums looked cool, and the propaganda was unmatched (yet stolen from 1930s Spanish posts), however the nation lacked any substance. The original "Principles and Guidelines of Paramount" are now missing. Founder John Sager is unaware what happened to Paramount since its slow and second demise. The second founding of Paramount can be seen in this issue of the "Communal Voice" authored by Thomas Cutterham: http://web.archive.org/web/20060214110604/http://www.freewebz.com/tom_cutterham/communal_voice.htm The original Paramount website http://www.geocities.com/ParamountNation/ is now defunct and its forums are nowhere to be found.
