Greetings From Carcosa

[carcosa]

Our 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.

We're sorry for the lack of communication, our discord server may be a lost cause, but please don't cease your interest based on this. We'd be happy to reach out with any information if you're still interested?

I find it fascinating you have people living in a real territory. Talossa started in that way also, except we never actually "owned" the land we claimed with the exception of our first King's actual house.

That's a good amount of citizens. I've been saying all along there was more than one guy haha.

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

Is Carcosa just like, one guy?

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.

I just sent a message to those emails. I had sent an email to the contact email listed on your website but didn't receive a response.

I'm glad to hear more from you guys, and it's interesting to hear that you have so many virtual citizens, in addition to those on your territory.  I agree that it's also a little reassuring to be getting away from the mystique.

I had a few other questions, if that's okay.

What are some of your ideas for joint projects?

You're a small community that lives on your declared territory -- where is that territory?

Hastyr Aldebaran is an assumed name and the other name on the treaty has initials.  Your website doesn't say anything about anyone else.  It's almost entirely about your form of government, but who is the "Mandator," who is in your four houses of legislature, who is on your Supreme Court, who is in the "Yellow Reserve," etc?

You have 68 virtual citizens; how do they interact, if not via Discord?

A lot of your culture seems to be focused around the Chambers book The King in Yellow, as well as (it sounds like) the poem that inspired parts of it.  Can you explain a little more about that?

I should go into more detail. The thing about Talossa is that we're proud that we're an actual community of real people who "operate like a small nation state", rather than an RPG. I've been worried that Carcosa is more an RPG than anything else and therefore relations would not benefit either side. Your participation here is helping with that.

I've read the book about the Yellow King so when I heard there was a micronation called Carcossa I was even more intrigued. Is your nation and government based upon the book "The King in Yellow" written in 1895 by Robert Chambers? If so, what was the impetus to use that as your model?
