Interesting Article About Another Micro-Nation

[King Txec]

I ran across this article about a micro-nation near San Diego California, and thought I'd share it.

Very interesting that almost all the "popular" micronations - the ones who make the news - apart from Talossa are "wacky" tinpot dictatorships. You'd think that Talossa's functioning constitutional monarchy and thriving political life would be a more interesting story. But then, that's why I thought the Republic was a good idea - maybe the broad masses just like wackiness and unaccountable power :D

I think owning the land may have something to do with it. We claim huge chunks of Milwaukee, but we don't actually own our territory. The appeal in stories like these might be the idea that any Joe Blow can start an independent country on land they own. Molossia, that's all on that guys property. In Talossa, we have laws and à government over people who don't even know we exist. (I will always believe that Talossa should move away from Milwaukee. View it as a spiritual homeland, maybe. I still promote the idea of diasporism, Talossa as a nation of people with a shared language and culture, but having no real land claims, who are spread all over the world. I think our future would be brighter if we moved in that direction. Maybe the Milwaukee-centric part of our past is a deterrent to potential new citizens.)
