    > If by "simulationist" you mean we want to merely mimic macro-world institutions with a flurry of documents and pronouncements then I would not be one. However, if you mean someone who wants Talossa, in its own way with its own unique institutions, to have a greater impact on the world at large, then I would not call that “simulationist” but rather “Talossan Progressive.”

    Classical Derivatist: wants Talossa to be like "real" countries.
    Lixhitàn Progressive: wants "real" countries to be like Talossa.

    Funnily enough, cxhn. Lixhità, I was once of precisely the same mind as you - these "Progressive" ideas were expounded by me in an editorial of the Penguinean newspaper The Southern Cross back in '97. These days, I'm far more sceptical about such things, and have "real world" politics to distract me, so frankly I no longer believe that micronationalism either can or should have any impact on macrocosmic politics and I "do Talossa" as a recreation.

    Although it's one I take seriously - one of the problems that I see with Peculiarism is that it has historically veered into the silly-for-its-own sake. Personally, I see a paradox that the game of Talossa is more fun the more we pretend that it isn't a game. If you catch my drift.
