I must say, your last few posts, in which you talk like a real human being rather than a character from a metafictional play by Robert Chambers, have made me more kindly disposed to you :D

Thank you, that's reassuring to hear

Quote from: carcosa on May 15, 2025, 03:04:01 PMOur national language is Carcosan, a minimalist constructed tongue with a poetic cadence. Our holidays are marked by the moon,

As both a language and calendar enthusiast, I'd be interested to hear more about this.

We'd love to discuss this, we plan to update our website to include a section on our language (and culture). In the meantime drop us an email at contact@carcosa.cc

Ah... well, this is a bit disappointing.

No, actually we have 27 permanent ceremonial residents (people who knowingly live within our borders and are registered citizens). We also have a further 68 virtual citizens, and another 3 in the process of gaining citizenship. If you're interested in a visa or learning more about our citizenship process, feel free to drop us an email at department-of-state@carcosa.cc, or at visa-applications@carcosa.cc.

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on May 16, 2025, 10:52:56 AMI'm guessing the name is taken from "The King in Yellow"? (Or Ambrose Bierce, or Lovecraft?)

Hi, yes the name was inspired by Ambrose Bierce. Most people associate it was Lovecraft but our founder was actually inspired by the short poem he wrote.

To the Esteemed Citizens of Talossa,

On behalf of the Commonwealth of Carcosa, it is with great pleasure — and a measure of cryptic anticipation — that we accept your gracious invitation to establish a presence here on Wittenberg. We extend our warmest greetings from the icy recursion of the Lake of Hali to the venerable and storied halls of your national discourse.

Carcosa is a micronation founded not merely upon land, but upon ideas — strange, sincere, and singular. Though our mainland territory lies on a third-degree recursive island in the Canadian Arctic, Carcosa is as much a metaphor as a place: a nation where governance becomes an art form, and civic life pirouettes with philosophy.

Our political system is an intricate and carefully balanced creation, built around a five-branched structure. Three primary branches — the Statutory (to write laws), the Mandatory (to carry them out), and the Adjudicatory (to interpret them) — form what we collectively call the Directive. These are complemented by two additional branches: the Bureaucratic, which oversees independent functions such as our national bank, the Yellow Reserve; and the Sovereign, a ceremonial body composed of public figures who serve as living symbols of Carcosan identity.

For those curious to learn more about our government, culture, or people, we invite you to visit our official website at carcosa.cc. There you will find our constitution, a full breakdown of our political structure, our election systems, territorial claims, and the stories behind our formation. If you want to talk with us, feel free to join our discord server at https://discord.gg/nFyWRbfRr7.

And yet Carcosa is more than a constitution. It is a living, breathing culture — peculiar and profound. Many of our citizens follow a non-theistic state religion devoted to community wellbeing and the principles of restoration: sleep, contribution, compassion, and bread-making. Our national language is Carcosan, a minimalist constructed tongue with a poetic cadence. Our holidays are marked by the moon, our cities prioritise walkability, and our diplomacy is — whenever possible — accompanied by a plate of biscuits.

We have long admired Talossa for its pioneering spirit, its linguistic brilliance, and its bold embrace of the unconventional. It is a true honour to take our place among you, and we look forward to the exchange of ideas, traditions, and — who knows — perhaps even ambassadors, or appropriately peculiar gifts.

From the recursive shores of Carcosa to the Kingdom of Talossa,
May our correspondence be fruitful, our dialogue strange,
And our flags equally unrecognisable.

Yours sincerely,
The Department of Foreign Affairs
The Free State of Carcosa
