Greetings to All !!
How many micronations of this MicroForum were founded / established by only one individual; and how many micronations of this MicroForum were founded / established by more than one individual ??
"Founding Fathers" ( plural )...OR..."Founding Father" ( singular ) ??
Regards to All !! _____________
P.S.
NOTE:
The use of the term "Founding Father(s)" is in no way meant to imply that one who establishes a micronation has to be a male; mainly meant as a traditional and historical reference of the term. ( several micronations were established by females; of which, most of these are known to thrive very well ) ( not lessening the contributions of females to the diversities within the Greater MicroSphere )

Atlantium was founded by myself, Geoffrey Duggan and Claire Coulter. In acknowledgement of this, the males use the formal designation "Pater Patriae" (Father of His Country), and Claire gets to use the unique designation "Mater Patriae" (Mother of Her Country).

Hello! Réunion was founded by Claudio de Castro (myself), Bernardo Bauer and Eduardo Iatauro. Bauer left in 1999, and Iatauro in 2001. They both abandoned micronationalism. I linger Yours, Claudio de Castro

In December 1979, Talossa was founded by R. Ben Madison.
In the year 2004, 11 Talossan citzens overthrew the King and proclaimed the Republic of Talossa in the southern provinces of Talossa.

Are there any female members of this forum?? It's just occurred to me how remarkably male-dominated nation-founding is even in this day and age...

I know that this forum is pretty male-dominated, but I'm one of (the only?) exception(s).

I'm one of three Founding Fathers.

Oops.. The Free Federal States of Libertaria. We're controlling about 15 square kilometres of land in eastern Norway and western Sweden, we've got a Facebook fan page with 29 members, the leadership is about 50/50 liberal/libertarian, the nation is about 4 months old and you probably think this is another soon-dead teenager pastime and maybe it is.

By "controlling" I assume you mean "claiming" .
Big difference.
The number of teenagers fortunate enough to possess title to estates as vast as 15 km2 throughout recorded human history is very small indeed; I doubt you are one of them.

We've (officially) got 3 founding fathers. There were originally five, but that was whittled down to four after a coup attempt, and then another left due to his unsavory anarchist activities. All documents and photos have been edited accordingly.

History is fabricated by the survivors...
Altering the photos to remove the people who've since fallen from favour, aren't you concerned that would make you look a bit silly? People involved in Lavalon have pissed me off from time to time, I don' try and write them out of history...
Reminds me of "The Tennis Court Oath", the sketch by Jacques-Louis David.
It was intended to become a centrepiece on National Assembly. As he painted various people depicted fell from grace and had to be edited out, eventually so many people were being edited out or replaced with more acceptable figures that the exercise descended into farce and was abandoned.
What happens when fight after fight, only your picture remains in that blurred heavily edited photograph?

I agree.
Fabricating history - particularly fabricating or doctoring the photographic record - leaves one at serious risk of losing one's credibility.

The number of teenagers fortunate enough to possess title to estates as vast as 15 km 2 throughout recorded human history is very small indeed; I doubt you are one of them. My stepfather owns a lot of land (mostly forests) that nobody else seems to want. Totally it is about 15km 2. Because I have free access (as long as I don't destroy anything) to the territory and the buildings in it, I've considered it as "controlled" by the Free Federal States of Libertaria (and its three states). But perhaps "controlled" was a too strong word anyway. More like "controlled under parental supervision" ;D Thanks for asking questions and being critical! If you don't kill us, you make our micronation better, and I guess that you'll be satisfied with both.

Rest assured, I have no plans to kill you or anyone else.
Merely to sort fact from fiction.
