The Imperium is old....but not that old.................
( but way older than the internet, with it's ability to publicly
populate the world with micronations almost overnight )
The Imperium of DeWaCo Estates is nowhere as old as those
more aged and seasoned micronations mentioned above; as
our "Dream" is approx only 50 years in the making.
( but still going and growing stronger each and every day )
NOTE:
The Imperium's "Dream" is approx 50 years old; however, the
Imperium was *Officially* established on September 6, 1996,
with our
"Declaration of Liberation"[/i].
I.....too-soon, will be 59 years *young*
;D....and when I was a
lad of approx 8-to-9 years *old*, me and by brothers and sisters
and cousins and friends conspired together, and established the
Imperium; even though it was not then known as the "Imperium".
( many names over the years )
Basically, the Imperium was grown / born out of the childhood
game of "playing army"; whereby, we expanded upon the more
traditional game of just picking sides and then fighting each other;
instead, we divided the pastures and woods into how ever many
armies and nations that were needed that day, with each group
establishing their seperate "Capital", which they had to defend,
and at the same time....attempt to attack the other's "Capital(s)".
"Playing Army"...became..."Playing Country" in a manner of speaking;
of which, the "games" of my / our past seem to have survived,
stayed alive, and continue to thrive still today; with me handing
down the "Dream" to those within the Imperial family who will
accept the challenges and entertainments associated with it.
