Federal Republic of Cyberia
The name Cyberia may also refer to the Virtual Commonwealth of Cyberia.
Refoundation
The Federal Republic of Cyberia was refounded on August 10, 2005. In his Foundation Speech, President Jacobus B.S. Kahunamea stated in an address on MNN entitled "Ich Bein Ein Cyberian",
(Quote) No longer will we accept exile with grace. No longer will we countenance the current government of the VCC declaring who or what is and is not Cyberian.
Consider this -
"USA, copyright 1776, Jefferson-Franklin Co., renewed 1865, A. Lincoln and Associates"
"England, copyright 1066, William Norman & Co."
Silly? Ludicrous?
The clique that drove dozens, if not hundreds into exile should not have exclusive right to decide upon what is "cyberian" and what is not, no more than a Mussolini should say who was an Italian, or than a certain frustrated artist (short, little mustache - ja, him) could strip people of their German-ness because of their religion or merely because he said so.
No, recent rulers of the VCC have not had to use the Simulations Control Act recently because it and its concurrent oppressive gibberish (along with an utterly corrupt legal system) was used to exile anyone who would challenge their right to plunder a nation and to reserve its culture and history solely for their own use.
The behavoir of these people, and the behavoir that they drew from those of us who opposed them has caused the word Cyberian to signify negativity, arrogance and intolerance.
I say to you, NO MORE!
I AM A CYBERIAN! No matter what the VCclique says, no matter what anyone pretending to micronational authority may say. From today, my micronational work will be to make that title something to be proud of again!
I AM A CYBERIAN, AND MY NAME IS JACOBUS!
I hereby place in abeyance any claim to any Imperial title until and unless it should by conferred by a free vote. A vote of a free Cyberian people, not one of the rump clique that soils the title name.
There will be again be a free people ruling themselves in a free Cyberia, free of the fear and the stains of the past.
The stuggle to come will not be fought on the MCS forums. Nor will we attempt to wrest the forums or sites of our opponents from them. The struggle will be waged in a manner never seen in micronationry before.
And we will be wage it with manners.
Jacobus, Cyberian (Close quote)
The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Cyberia was approved in March of 2006, and amended in June of 2006. Two elections have been held under the Constitution.
Geography
The Federal Republic of Cyberia uses the original Cyberian map by (copyright) Tim Dunkin. (See it here http://federalrepublicofcyberia.freehosting.net/photo.html) The FRC continues all of the Historic Provinces of Cyberia. These are Bava, Belar, Corli, Lasteria, Mala, Mattimeo, Menet, Windsor Islands. In addition, the Republic of Istvanistan is considered an Honorary Province of the FRC. (The FRC is also considered an Honorary Oblast of Istvanistan.) The FRC has a Treaty of Protection and Mutual Assistance with the Provisonal Government of Puritania, which has applied for FRC Provincial status.
People
The Mala'anje people and the Skunk Apes were the original peoples of the land now called the FRC. In micronational terms, the FRC is supported by former citizens of the VCC and their friends and associates. Many of these supported the Restored Commonwealth of Cyberia, U.P.E.C. and other more ephemeral Cyberias. There has been constant strife between these groups and the VCC ever since the First War of Cyberian Liberation in October of 1998. The FRC maintains the Cyberian Memorial in rememberance of their old comrades.
Foreign Affairs
The Federal Republic of Cyberia maintains relations with the Kingdom of Jonan, the Republic of Istvanistan, and the Free Republic of Rocentia. Foreign relations are difficult, as the conflict with the VCC frequently leads to diplomatic squabbles.
Population
As of June 2006, fifteen citizens have registered their return to Cyberia.
Political Parties
- Cyberian Renewal Action Party, is the successor to the old Cyberian Renaissance Action Party. The CRAP is center-right and is considered to be one of the more moderate voices in the Federal Republic of Cyberia.
- PROHIBISHNESS PARTI, also known as the Prohibition Party of Cyberia gets most of its support from the Skunk Ape population. It's founder and leader Bongo Bo also lead a similar party in Puritania. The party is in favor of banning all intoxicating substances. This grew out of the actions of the joint Ape/Menet forces during the Third War for Cyberian Liberation As the leadership determined pure Prohibition to be improbable and perhaps undesireable, the party has been re-named the National Organization of Senitient Humanoids & Intelligent Things..
- Neo-Ciceronian Party, lead by Menet governor Tim Dunkin, looks back to the virtues of truth, honesty and public service that built the Roman Republic.
- Rally for the Imperium - The Rally for the Imperium bills itself as the "traditional Jacobist" party. Among the Rally's goals are the unification of all Cyberias and all of the territories of the former United Imperium into one Empire under the House of Bonaparte-Stuart-Kahunamea. the party has a following in the modern Federal Republic of Cyberia.
- Rosario Peoples' Front - This succesor to the old Communist Party of Cyberia is named in honor of Communist Leaders Michael Rosario and Hoss Rosario, heroes of the First War of Cyberian Liberation and the Second War for Cyberian Liberation. It's goals are far-left.
- The Groucho-Marxist Party has been re-founded by the President. This party in the old days was more of a Monster Screaming Looney Party, but it has mellowed over the years
- The R.P.P.C. seems dormant at this writing.
