Darcyj: /* Novasolum */ <hr /> <div>The [[Micronational Cartography Society]] has never had an official policy on continent names, but certain common designations have arisen for most of the landmasses on the MCS Map. The westernmost large continent, on which the Shirerithian Duchies of Goldshire and Brookshire are located, is commonly called Benacia after the [[Commonwealth of Benacia]] that once spanned the land mass. Properly, [[Benacia]] is also the name of a small island to the continent's south which once served as the Commonwealth's capital. This continent is generally considered to include the islands of [[Hyperborea]], [[Istvanistan]], and the archipelago that makes up Shireroth's [[Duchy of Yardistan]]. The largest continent on the map, featuring [[Kildare]], [[Terre d'Riches]], [[Treithar]], and [[Antica]], is called different things by different people. The [[Apollonians]] tend to call it either Apollonia or Audentior, after the culture or the country that once existed upon it. The Babkhans and Slobovians tend to call it [[Prinitica]], after the short-lived Slobovia-based empire that one occupied its center. It is this usage that makes the Babkhans call their occupied Treesian colonies [[Babkhan Prinitica]]. The large continent to the far east has never had an agreed upon name. The Atterans have occupied most of its center for many years, and it has occasionally just been referred to as "the Atteran continent". The continent to the far southwest, currently inhabited by Treisenberg, was created more recently than the other continents and given the name [[Cibola]] by [[Ryan Caruso]]. The people of [[San Martin]] created a feeling of inter-Cibolan unity, and the nations that occupy it tend to have a similar group of people and philosophy. To the east of Cibola, occupied by [[Gotzborg]], [[Anthelia]], [[Natopia]], [[Lavalon]], [[Rio Grande]] and [[Alexandria]], is the continent of [[Novasolum]]. The continent's name, as well as several other salient features, was decided in a [http://p206.ezboard.com/fantheliafrm23 conference] between the nations occupying it, unique among all the MCS regions. In the early days of the MCS Map, the continent was entirely occupied by the nation of [[Tapfer]], and is still occasionally called the Tapfer Continent. The continent entirely occupied by Babkha is called [[Eura]], after the name given in Babkhan fictional history. Eura is the only continent entirely occupied by a single nation, though not for lack of trying on Shireroth's part. The Babkhans call the currently unoccupied smaller continent to the east [[Lesser Eura]]. Most of the larger islands are named after the countries that originally occupied theme. The island that is currently [[Stormark]] was once [[Lyrica]]. Similar rationales apply to [[Istvanistan]], [[Hyperborea]], [[Treesia]], and [[Terra Firma]]. Smaller islands are often named after micronationalists from before 2000 - thus [[Madison Isle]] (for Ben Madison), [[Lindley Isle]] for Iain Lindley, and the [[Franz Isles]] for Jason Franz. Islands in old Apollonian territory tend to be named for all sorts of things. The [[Accursed Isles]], those raised in 2004 by [[Ryan Caruso]] to add map space, are mostly named after places from myth. [[category:Cartography]] [[category:Fiction]]</div>

Darcyj: /* external link formatting error */ <hr /> <div>[[Image:anthelia_map1.jpg|right|frame|Map of Anthelia]] The Republic of [[Anthelia]] does not have physical territory on Earth, but does claim a place on the [[Micronational Cartography Society]] map of [[Micras]]. For the purpose of that map, and the organisation of the Republic internally, four cities have been built. ===Helion - The Capital=== Centrally located in the Republic is the capital city of Helion, named in honour of the symbol of the nation, the Sun. Helion is home to the prime institutions of government, and is also the location of the [http://darkkitten.net/anthelia/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 Central Plaza] where anyone in the Republic can speak their mind on any subject and where most news announcements of general interest are published. ===Alosta - The Eastern Riviera=== Located on the temperate Borders Bay coast is a city with a distinct European flavour. Alosta plays host to the embryonic national university and is the centre of the legal profession in the Republic. ===Regulus - The Northern Gateway=== Situated on the northern coast, and alongside the national border with Gotzborg, the city of Regulus is named after the brightest star of the constellation Leo. It is planned as a tourist and sporting city, with facilities either built or on the way for motorsports, tennis, football and watersports. ===Massilia - The Southern Port=== Named for the ancient Mediterranean city which was the forerunner of Marseilles, Massilia guards the mouth of the River Egale and serves as a port to the southern seas. The offices of Immigration are located here, and there are hopes that significant international trade will pass through this port in the future. [[Category: Anthelia]]</div>

Darcyj: <hr /> <div>[[Image:john.jpg|left|frame|John Darcy]] John Paul Darcy (b: 19 August 1968) is an Australian micronationalist, author, cricket umpire, golfer, tenpin bowler, musician, photographer, astronomer and working family man. He is married to Narelle (not a micronalialist), and has two daughters Rhiannon (4y old) and Lauren (2.5y). His paid employment is of little consequence, as it involves absolutely none of his interests and merely exists to prevent him from starving. John spends most of his time in Canberra, the capital city of Australia, a tiny portion of which (say, 2 metres by 1.5 metres) is claimed as the territory of the Republic of [[Anthelia]]. It is one of the long-term national goals of the Republic to gain enough territory for a golf course of its own. For the time being, it is some consolation that one can see mountains from this small territory, thus satisfying one of the maxims of life: to live within sight of either the sea or mountains. ==== Micronational Career ==== John was first sighted in micronations in the specialist project [[Republic of Mars]], which he joined in late June 2001. Quickly rising to prominence, he was elected to Parliament at the end of that year and became Deputy Prime Minister. Unfortunately, the Republic of Mars had already passed its peak of activity and utility, and the election at which John was elevated was the last ever held. In 2003 there were two distinct attempts to revive the concept of a micronation based on Mars. The first was '''The Mars Game''', owned and operated by Miran Hojnik of Slovenia. The second was '''FutureMars''', owned and operated by John Darcy, which was a rival to The Mars Game but founded on principles carried over from Republic of Mars. FutureMars was intended to be a user-driven RPG, but never grew beyond a development project, due to insurmountable logistical problems. It formally ended when the domain names expired in June 2004. It was around that time - June 2004 - that John found the Republic of Deseret in a search for a small, democratic micronation which would accept his creative input. It transpired that the founders of Deseret were not all that keen for outsiders to assert themselves, and by the end of July 2004 John had given up on them and made the Declaration of Independence which brought [[Anthelia]] into being. John has been President of Anthelia since May 2004, and prior to that was the Administrator under the pre-Constitution arrangements which governed the Republic from its foundation on 27 July 2004. John holds no other micronational citizenships. [[Category: People]] [[Category: Anthelia]]</div>

Darcyj: /* Finally */ <hr /> <div>[[Image:anthelia_arms.jpg|thumb|right|Arms of Anthelia]] [[Image:anthelia_216x108.jpg|thumb|right|Flag of the Republic]] The '''Republic of Anthelia''' (pronounced: ''ant''-HEEL-''ee''-''yuh''), known in short as '''Anthelia''', is a democratic micronation founded in July 2004. Anthelia is an [[Anglophone Sector]] [[micronation]] and a member of the [[Micronational Cartography Society]] and the [[Novasolum Treaty]]. == History == === Foundation === Anthelia was founded on 27 July 2004 by [[John Darcy]], an Australian micronationalist with past involvement in the hobby but no other known micronational citizenships. The Republic - it has always been called a "republic" - was established with democratic and pluralistic objectives but with low membership and activity there were two consequences: Firstly, Darcy held de facto autonomous power as "Administrator" and secondly, inactivity saw the fledgling micronation virtually shut down from September 2004 to April 2005. === Revival === The Republic was woken up on 11 April 2005 by a message of inspiration and intent posted by prominent citizen [[Koen Nevens]]. Nevens' energy pushed Anthelia to the attention of other Anglophone micronations through the [http://www.Micronations.net Micronations.net] forums, and this in turn attracted several possible citizens as well as interested foreign observers. Anthelia's profile was also significantly raised at this time through a dispute over its [[Micronational Cartography Society]] map presence. This dispute was resolved amicably in due course. === Constitution === The revival sparked by the Nevens Communique of 11 April was indeed energetic and rapid. By the end of April a draft Constitution was ready for referendum and the groundwork had been laid for immediate Executive Council elections. Duly, the Constitution was enacted and came into force on 4 May 2005, and John Darcy and Koen Nevens were elected unopposed as the inaugural Executive Council, taking office on 13 May. The Constitution of the Republic provides for an elected '''Executive Council''' to run the nation in everyday matters. The Executive Council can appoint '''Ministers''' to assist in this, and Ministers can propose new or amended laws for the control and benefit of national affairs. Through '''direct democracy''', all citizens of the Republic have the right to debate proposed laws and all citizens participate in the vote to approve a law. (The policy of the present government is to establish an elected legislative body at a future time when the population can sustain it). The Constitution also provides detailed protection of individual and general rights, and a number of superior provisions regarding citizenship and other matters to which all normal laws must conform. Justice is to be administered through courts presided over by judges who will be appointed as the need arises. The '''President of the Republic''' is a largely symbolic position, as the President is one of the Executive Councillors and has very few and limited exclusive powers and duties of his own. John Darcy is the inaugural and current President. == Features of the Community == A micronation with less than a year of serious activity cannot be said to have developed a strong individual culture; however, a number of stylistic aspects promoted by the incumbent government give an indication of "national identity". Firstly, Anthelia is strongly grounded in the letter and substance of its laws. Darcy and Nevens have consistently sought to write laws, executive orders and a Constitution which are thorough, explicit and strong. The possible criticism of this is that Anthelia is legalistic and complicated by micronational standards, but the government's choice is based on both instinct and training. Nevens is a practising lawyer in his macronational life, and Darcy brings to his hobby a lifelong recreational interest in politics and the law. A micronation headed by these two could not in good conscience be governed loosely by clumsily-written laws. Secondly, Anthelia seeks to keep its community simulation firmly anchored in "reality". Anthelia's fictional world is set in the same time period as the real world and has no technology or capability which is beyond the first decade of the 21st century. This is notwithstanding Anthelia's choice to be involved in, for example, the [[MCS]] fictional world map, which in substance is merely a tool for interaction with other micronations. Thirdly, the combination of lawful order and realistic simulation underpins Anthelia's economic simulation. Economics and money appears, from all reports, to be the weak underbelly of micronations - the reasons for this are many and not least of them is the microscopic size of the market which makes economic modeling irrelevant. (Imagine trying to impose the rules of fluid dynamics on a few dozen water molecules floating in a vacuum). Nevertheless, the Republic has enacted laws and established an institutional framework to base its currency, and the monetary sector of its economy, on real-world principles. This is an ongoing source of disagreement between Anthelia and at least one other micronation ([[Gotzborg]]) and that situation is still developing at the time of writing. Finally, it is the combination of a realism-grounded simulation and a monetary economy which is driving, or will drive, the future development of the community. The policy of the government is to encourage and develop new and diverse aspects for the simulation which will assist the community to look and behave like a real-world community. This is, needless to say, a long-term strategy. == Intermicronational Relations == Anthelia began as a micronation in isolation, although the wider micronational community was known to the founder. The months since the revival have seen Anthelia interact more widely with other English-language micronations (the "Anglophone Sector"). The [[Micronational Cartography Society]] more than any other person or body has provided the main impetus for this interaction. By virtue of its place on the MCS map, Anthelia has chosen primarily to seek discourse and interaction with its neighbours on that map - [[Gotzborg]], [[Natopia]], [[Alexandria]], [[Rio Grande]] and [[Lavalon]]. This is not to say that other micronations have been ignored, but the main focus of diplomacy has been on these few and in particular Gotzborg and Natopia. It was this regional focus which led to the [[Novasolum Treaty]]. A conference was held in May and June of 2005 for micronations which shared the same continent as Anthelia on the MCS map. The aim of this conference at its outset was to seek a mutual treaty for "the creation of an area of freedom, security and justice" - there was no intent to create a formal association of micronations and no multilateral policies (such as economic policy) were to be imposed. During the course of this conference, a related (but separate) project was begun by President Darcy to enhance the geographic details of the micronations involved, and it was from this project that the continent's name "Novasolum" was agreed. In course, the treaty (which was ratified by four of the parties by 8 July 2005) was named the Novasolum Treaty. In August 2005, the Republic was a party to the [[Treaty of BBC]], which is a treaty with the micronation founded on BBC TV in the United Kingdom by [[King Danny Wallace]]. == Further Information == The first point of contact for Anthelia is a [http://anthelia.net website], and the forums can be reached from there for a complete picture of the community's day-to-day activities. An independent media also operates, with [[The Anthelia Quarterly]] available by subscription (see information on the forums). Anthelian affairs are also reported in the [[RIMA Journal]] and in general discussions on [[Micronations.net]]. Citizenship is available to residents of the Republic who fulfill a 10-day residency waiting period, but there are no restrictions on general immigration. Given the importance placed on the now-operating monetary economy, the government has enacted Income Support to provide for those people in Anthelia who do not yet have a job. == Finally == The President is happy to answer direct personal inquiries at president@anthelia.net [[Category: International]] [[Category: History]] [[Category: Anthelia]]</div>

This macronation is colloquially known for its fast food chains, its impressive nuclear arsenal, and its strained global relations. Despite this, it does play host to some excellent non-fast-food, especially at the [[University of Delaware]]. More seriously, the United States is known as the world's oldest continuous republic, the most diverse economy and the powerhouse of industrial and scientific development over at least the last hundred years. America's liberal pluralism, freedom of spirit and opportunity for enterprise are the envy of the world, provoking much jealous ire from political zealots. It is also the host nation of [[Sonoma]].
