Dieter N Vercáriâ | > Are you saying that a primary factor to the Commonwealth of Penguinea cessation was due to giving up land claims?
Of course this would be a falsified history. The Free Commonwealth of Penguinea aped Talossa in claiming land on a tiny island in a bay near Brisbane, Australia. This claim was given up at some time, and possibly that was beginning of a process that lead to the abolishion of the idea / pretense of being a micronation.
But the mistake that we made was not to give up on land claims on St. Helens Island, Queensland, Australia. The mistake was to give up on the wish to remain, be, become a howsoever big or small or tiny nation or state of mind, as the GWP once tried to suggest (yes, I have to admit that I left the true path of Peculiarism at this time, and surrendered to a pale "realism"). More precisely put, the mistake was the wish to establish a fun-proof, strictly rational "internet community" which would never condone to any pretense.
As a Peculiarist, I should have known better - which was why I re-introduced Peculiarism to the brandnew Republic of Talossa, once my citizenship application sailed through.
