Jim, I know that Ugo is accusing you of being a Derivatist, but no Derivatist would ever say that "Talossa exists only on the Internet". Talossa exists, and has existed since 1979, on the East Side of Milwaukee, WI (or "on the western shore of the Talossan Sea", from another perspective). Granted all but one of the current citizens of the Republic are "citizens in exile", but it is our very real attachment to a very real patch of land and a very real history which makes Talossa different - and better! - from "virtual nations", or indeed from just another WWW discussion group. It is simply historical accident that we're not in a position to get together more often, not a permanent feature.
By the way, I don't believe in legal marriage at all, so I don't see why Talossa should have laws about it. :)
