Heyla to King Christian I ---
Welcome to the List. I am the Jarl of Lykosha: Wolf-Nation.
Questions, I believe, are in order --- to wit:
For how long have you been on the WWW? And, if appropriate, for how long has your national project been in existence (whether or not online)?
Do you claim the entire [former] state of New York? If not, what do you claim? Is your nation founded for political reasons, or perhaps for another reason?
Do you have an online presence? If so, I'd like the web URL, please.Do you already have friends in the micronational community? Can you introduce them to us? Do you have any other sites, such as Cafepress, Youtube, Proboards, or Paypal?Can you tell us something about your national language, if you have an official one? Government structure? Citizens? I really look forward to hearing from you; I'm a curious puppy (Lykosha is, after all, a "wolf-nation")
This should generate a substantial answer, and I'm looking forward to it. Thank you in advance for your replies.

Hello Jarl. I have not been on this form long (joined last night EST and posted during first 5 minutes). My national project started in the closing days of Summer Vacation (started around September 1) with only me. Only in the past week has citizenship been risen over one. We only claim my house, my Princess's (just friends, i'm only 13!) house, the land in between, and an island near us that is on the Hudson. We still do not have a webpage, but that will change before the day is out (being made to contact my citizens). We have been contacting His Excellency Kevin Baugh of the Republic of Molossia ( www.molossia.org ) for tips. Also, we speak English (not officially, but we only know English fluently). We are a Kingdom, with currently 2 resident citizens, 2 American nationals (living in North Hill but not citizens), and 3 citizens of honor (not residents). EDIT: Forgot a question: North Hill was founded originally as anger at American economy, but is now a somewhat humorous way for me to lead something. I think of it as a hobby. Now I would like to ask questions about your country which will be given in one word each. Land? Government? Webpage? Will you recognize us (sorry for not using one word)? Currency? Language?

Heyla, King Christian, There is probably no possible way for me to answer in such short phrases. I will try, however, to be succinct. Bottom line: The Realm of Lykosha was originally a tongue-in-cheek National Project that started when a friend of mine said, facetiously, that “since you love wolves so much (and I do), you should create a country where everything relates to the wolf and the dog.” Viola! Lykosha was born Halloween, 2001. Currently, we have no land, except – symbolically – every square foot that the wolf and his wilder cousins (the African hunting dog, coyote, etc.) occupies. We have been offered an acre of undisturbed land north of New Mexico, USA, but have not agreed to that just yet. We are essentially a socio-political experiment to see what would happen if wolves stood up on two feet, developed hands, language, culture, etc. Mind you, we aren’t expecting this to happen for real anytime soon, but every law, etc. is colored “that way.” That’s why, by the way, I talk and act the way I do. So, everything remains symbolic, including our language, our currency, etc. Our government is only barely civilized, and instead more resembles the ancient clan system of the old Norse. As for the language, this is a conlang (constructed language) developed by a old friend of mine who was writing a series of stories of a alien people who (surprise!) had descended from a wolfish species on another planet. We do have a website (and a Facebook page, and a forum, and a ZapZone email portal, and we are also part of the Intermicronational Team Kiva, which you should know about from President Kevin Baugh of Molossia (http://www.kiva.org/team/micronations ) Everything can be found at: www.packwolf.netAs for “recognizing” your nation, we already do, to the very same extent that your nation already does itself. As we interact with one another, like friends at school, we’ll get to know one another, and continue to get closer. We’re not officially a part of any Micro-organization (such as OAM, the LOSS, OMF, or even this one --- we simply go to various places and get social. Like Molossia, we feel that it’s not formally necessary for us to “exchange ambassadors” yet: and may not be until we both actually have land that we (individually) control --- much like countries such as Brazil, Chile, Nigeria, or even America. If you or I (or you and I) dealt in commodities, products, or financial institutions, we’d eventually trade with one another. Hope this helps. Did you know that, for example, if you develop a flag, logo, etc. you can legitimately sell hats, T-shirts, etc. on Cafepress? If you develop coins, you can make and sell these to the public? Fascinating, eh? Hope this little explanation helps… contact me privately if you need specific help (of course, you’ve already done yourself a great service by asking the emminent Kevin Baugh and Molossia for aid --- they’re the best when it comes to advice and suggestions. P.S. I can be available any Saturday or Sunday for in-person meetings at public assistance --- at certain areas in the Greater Los Angeles city area, providing you make arrangements in advance no later than the Wednesday prior to the Saturday or Sunday you desire to meet. Honest! Really! Of course, that’ll probably take a while, since you live in New York. The phone number below if for actual use; leave me a message, and I’ll try to call back the same day. If you need any further questions answered, let me know….
