Greetings to All !!
Not a very valuable bit of info............
( but well worth considering and discussing )
Do any member-states of this MicroForum have,
at their immediate disposal, a position within
their Government or Executive Residence known
commonly as a "Poet Laureate"[/i] ?
Such positions still exist within a great many "macro"
nations, and maintain the traditional role of "speaking"
for a Government or the Executive / Royal / Imperial Residence.
A "macro" "Poet Laureate"[/i] usually and traditionally
creates special poems, essays, speeches, and prayers for private
and public events; which express the sentiment at the time on
any given issue or topic; but is seen by some as more of a
"mouth-piece" with "sweet lips" for the Government,
and less of a "voice of choice" for the masses.
( i.e. "tell 'em what they want to hear""...sing 'em to sleep[/i] / propaganda "tool" )
Now....back to the original purpose of this message...........
Setting aside the above views, which have validity...but vary
from age-to-age and country-to-country, I will ask again:
"do any member-states of the MicroForum have a "Poet Laureate"[/i]
at their immediate disposal" ?
Of course, such a position is one which has little-to-no direct
effect upon any MicroGovt's policies, goals, and agendas; however,
the use as a "propaganda tool" could / should / would be of
significant value...if applied in a covert-&-subliminal method.
( "food-4-thought"..."sweet talk" your adversaries )
( not necessarily with poems and prayers...but by "word-of-mouth" )
( i.e. once again: "tell 'em what they want to hear"...sing 'em to sleep[/i] / propaganda "tool" )
Regards to All !!

P.S.
A "Poet Laureate"[/i] could, and should, have a dual role
within any micronation; one role being a speech writer for Govt
Officials and Officers ( including National Poems & Prayers, etc );
and another role as a "Master of Manipulation" ( i.e. Govt "Mouth-Piece" /
"Propaganda Puppet-Master" ), which.......
"sees no evil, hears no evil...and *speaks* no evil"[/i].
