Hi Claudio. It's always good to see and hear from you. Welcome to the forum. George, I am really glad to have been invited here, to this interesting micronational forum. Perhaps we will be able to keep it clean of flame-wars and such :-) And if not, may our flame-wars be at least funnier! Yours,

Hopefully any disagreements that occur in here will be at least mildly amusing... if not outrageously funny.
But if not, at least there's a better chance here than at the failed forum that they'll be vaguely coherent, and rationally argued! ;D

Hi Claudio. It's always good to see and hear from you. Welcome to the forum. It is good to see you in attendance, Claudre... I've long been an admirer of your nation, if silently... :-) I knew I had a fan somewhere!!! Thank you for the kind words. You know, I was absent from intermicronational arena for almost 6 years. And I was very unhappy with that, indeed. After threating some members of my nation's Chancellery with impalement, I finally was allowed to come out of the shell ! Tell me more about your nation! Yours

I love the flag! You do have a complex and magical world there. Interesting, indeed! Where, macronationally speaking, are you from? Yours,

Claude the Impaler ? Oh well, that's a loooong story. As most teenagers, when I started my micronation for the first time, with my friends Bernardo and Eduardo, I exercised some interesting (and mostly LOVELY ;-)) beliefs within Réunion's legislation. Soon, I established the death penalty, and the chosen method was impalement, which I had seen in a movie somewhere. I also banned smoking, communism and the use of white shoes after Labor Day. *Unfortunately* so many people arrived later and they managed to change those GREAT ASPECTS of Réunion. First impalement (*sob*), and in 2002 (the empire was already a 5 years old when they check-mated me) the ban on communism. Yours

That's the problem with democracy... given the number of crazy people in the world today, they inevitably end up out-voting the sane people, no matter which country you're in.

I can really understand the feelings which caused " The Madness of King Ben ", one of micronationalism's great movies :-) Dieter knows more about that matter! By the way, happy-finger-George (now that's a joke between us, guys), since I don't know what I was talking about when this issue last came to my 'mind': ATLANTIUM ATLANTIUM ATLANTIUM ATLANTIUM - repeat after me! Why don't you ever say you are from Atlantium, and keep getting people become so curious? Everyone looks up to Atlantium and the fact that I always talk about Réunion and you never about Atlantium makes me feel guilty! Of course people can never accuse me of advertising in order to get citizens, because we have no use for people who don't speak Portuguese in Réunion (well...maybe as janitors of the property we are saving money to buy, probably in 550 years), as they will become crazy to receive 3000 monthly messages they will never understand)... But still, no one would mind to hear more about Atlantium. I think that our micronations are part of our life in a way that's hard to speak about our micronational experiences without mentioning where they happened Say "Atlantium" George ! yours

Everyone looks up to Atlantium and the fact that I always talk about Réunion and you never about Atlantium makes me feel guilty! I generally try to steer clear of self-promotion because as a significant contributor to Wikipedia's micronation content over a period of more than 5 years - and also as list owner and forum puppetmaster at www.listofmicronations.com - I need to maintain a high degree of objectivity and equanimity in my dealings with people whose activities I may well end up documenting. Of course that still doesn't stop the occasional jealous, egomaniacal mid-life crisis sufferer with a massive chip on their shoulder from exploding in an incandescent rage of hysterical incoherent accusations about some imaginary evil conspiracy that they believe I've perpetrated - indeed we have all witnessed one such episode very recently - but of course those individuals can never back up their accusations with anything even remotely resembling evidence, and merely end up looking foolish and pathetic.

All that and he still did NOT say the word. Hopeless :-) Yours

we have no use for people who don't speak Portuguese in Réunion Speaking of Portuguese, have you seen this ? You can contact Count de Hollanda here. The Imperial Legation is based in Recife.
