Greetings to All !! What are some of the "assets" of your Great State, that you feel might be un-noticed, or not as much appreciated as you would like; whereby, putting such assets *Under the MicroScope* ( sort of speaking) for all to see, such exposure and magnification could lead to the increasing of those assets to a level that you feel is appropriate. *( i.e. "with a little from your friends" / your micronational family )*Either "assets" you would like to have increased, but do not know exactly how to go about the process; or, "issues" / "questions" which you would like to ask others for assistance, but were too afraid to ask. The more "eyes" one puts onto any "issue" / "asset" / "question", the more likely said concern(s) will be corrected or improved; or at the very least, the concern(s) at hand will prove to be of little-to-no importance in the first-place. Examples for consideration: ( maybe minor to some, but may be large to others )
- How do I make, or have mfg, a flag; or purchase and alter one ?
- Where do I go to get my MicroGovt's Coins & Currencies ?
- Where do I go to get my MicroGovt a virtual presence ?
- How do I present my micronation's films / photos to the world ?
- How do I create a National Anthem ?
- etc, etc, etc........
A few of the very basic properties / infrastructures that one usually seeks whenever he or she first gets involved in the MicroSphere. ( i.e. above examples more for new nations, as more "seasoned" nations have already "been there...done that"; but help @ hand )
Concerns + Magnification = SolutionsREFERENCE LINK: *MICRO MIRROR*Regards to All !! ______________

How do I make, or have made, a flag?
I am concerned with this one. The only custom flag I can find are £200+, and I really don't feel that that kind of purchase can be justified at the moment. The only other flags that seem reasonable are desk flags, perfect for waving, but the company has still not got back to me. The same goes for JFV coins, when I contacted them. We exchanged a few pleasant emails, and then when I mentioned actual purchase-silence.
How do I create a National Anthem ? Also something that is bugging me. Advice?

With regards to Your Great State's Official Flag: If there are no "macro" flags which You can "alter" to meet Your specifications; then You might have to contact / contract a seamstress to manufacture Your flag; which would be less expensive than to have a "Flag Mfg" company to do it for You. ( or create the pieces Yourself, and assemble as a puzzle ) "Macro" flags can be purchased for approx $35.00 ( USD ), and are standard 3' X 5' flying size; and can be located via the net. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With regards to Your Great State's Official Anthemn: Here again, You are a liberty to "adopt" & "adapt" a *macro* govt's anthemn musical score; as the USA has done such with several British songs. Then You can create the words to suit Your score; or have one who is a poet to do so for You. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sure that there are many many more ideas and suggestions from other members of the forum. Best of Luck !! Highest Regards !! ________________

Lady Queen, and to all nations ----
Actually:
1) The flag of TorHavn is a highly well-wrought .JPG, created by the Royal Family before our initial Founding, and re-mastered by the honourable Monarch of the Kingdom of Bahoudii.
2) As for coins, being visually impaired does slow us down in this regard; we do have a detailed idea for a commemorative coin, and already have the design for a stamp, worth 1TorHavnian Crown, but it isn't for sale (not yet).
3) As for the national anthem, we used a particularly apt sounding, majestic classically wrought piece, from a fantasy world's filk songs, and adapted the words (by the way, we have permission from that specific songtress: Ms. Cecilia Eng (and gave her an honorary citizenship and Knighthood for her permission).
In the last case, the efforts of our beloved Seneschal, the late Dame Lucy Skywalker (her father was Amerindian) was well-received by all --- all verses scan and it sounds appropriate for a nation like TorHavn, given the tones and attitudes of the Viridian Realm.
I do not mention any of this to brag, but perhaps inspire Your Majesty to such similar feats. Hopefully, tales of similar actions on the part of other nations might help.
This one hopes that it does.

Firstly, Thank-you for all of your very helpful replies. I may try to alter a *macro* flag at present, as not only is it easier on the budget, but will probably look better it if is altered personally by a seamstress, rather than a machine.
As for your help concerning the national anthem, I will definitely keep this in mind. Truthfully, when Bokonton was first founded it already had an anthem, but I find that it is not well-suited at all. Above all, thank-you again. This is extremely helpful, and once again puts my faith in the kind micronational community here! Also, last "question"...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a micronational monument to be erected in the Palace Gardens? Something that represents micronationalism. I very much like Kevin Baugh's idea.
Thanks again.

- A beam of light in the night sky...( only visible @ night )
*( Imperium erected and dedicated 2 beams to those victims of 9-11 )* ( a similar statement could be symbolic of Your Great State )
- A water fountain...waters symbolic of the life of Your Great State
- A tree planted centrally....symbolizing longivity of Your Great State
- A fish pond located central...........
- A stack of stones cemented together...each stone representing
a MicroGovt which Your Great State shares views with, or has established diplomatic relations with.
- A stone, brick, or cement path or pad...with the names of Your
People engraved in each stone, brick, or cement slab.
- Etc, etc, etc........
The Imperium has established similar monuments over the years. Highest Regards !! _______________

( or....maybe I'm missing your point ? )But........... If it has anything to do with my insertion of the... ">>>>>>'s"when I quoted your message, then it is I that must explain; as it was not done for any other reason than to just go to your final point / request; and had nothing whatsoever to do with anything which you had posted. Highest Regards !! _______________
