Pengopäts

[Iason Taiwos]

While doing research for a Talossan creative project involving Antarctica generally, and our territory of Pengopäts particularly, I decided to investigate what other micronations claim land in Antarctica. I was aware of Westarctica and Flandrensis already, but I discovered this:
https://amu.lostisland.org/
Pengopäts has been a Talossan territory since March 9th, 1982, predating (as far as I can tell) every other micronation's claims. I can't figure out if any other micronations are claiming Pengopäts area.
When you just Google "Micronations and Antarctica" that Ai thing that comes up first doesn't even mention Talossa. It lists several micronations I have never even heard of.
I'm wondering if Talossa should join the Antarctic Micronational Union, and press our claims.
(I'm wondering if our decades long refusal to interact with other micronations has been to our detriment when it comes to immigration. I remember mentioning Talossa in some Micronation Facebook group, and one of the replies was "Talossa? Is that still around?" I think we should somehow become a regular fixture at these MicroCons. I know we've been represented at one of them. But the guys with the outrageous costumes and all the medals are the ones who get the media attention. Is that what we need, or nah? Cameras flashing, capturing the Kings of Westarctica and Molossia in their get-ups, laughing and tippling champagne, and making "diplomatic relations", while Talossa lurks in the background, thinking "But...we've been around since 1979, we have our own language, we have..."
Look, y'all buy me a snappy Admiral uniform and a bus ticket, and I'll rep Talossa at the next one.)
(The creative project is just some dumb fictional story I'm working on about me leading an expedition to Pengopäts. I hope to release it to widespread indifference in some format.)

As the next Microcon will be quite literally in my area of California, I have every intention of going.

Interesting, I'll give it some thought and have a internal discussion before making decisions
