- Capital District, United Republic of Tymaria-- 08 January 2002-18 January 2002

Tymaria and Amerada came extremely close to hostile action, this week, due to Amerada's attempt at annexing Interland.  In a message received by the Ministry of Defense from unnamed Tysog troops, stated that President Washburn was attempting to claim Interland as a part of Amerada.  Amerada a Canadian-American inspired micronation has been plagued with charges of President Washburn, rigging elections, the use of "paper dolls or "papeles" as our Lusophone readers would call them, along with duping micronations into being listed on his Micro-Monde map so that Amerada can either invade these micronations or add them to it's sphere of influence.

The issue of the Micro-Monde map came up in the Tymarian General Forum with some individuals saying that the Micron Map and the Micro-Monde map be merged to include all micronations of both.  President Washburn stated clearly that he did not want the Micro-Monde map to be a part of the Micron Map, thus, leaving into question his real motives for the use of the Micro-Monde Map.

To offset any hostile take over of Interland, the Ministry of Defense with permission from Prime Executive Austi Scot, initiated discussions with President Washburn to express fully that Tymaria would stop any attempt by Amerada to claim Interland.  After three days of discussion between myself and President Washburn produced the Cessation of Hostility Agreement which is found in the Tymarian General Forum and the original is located in Scheheradze Imperial Gibi in the Attera-Macusiaa forum.

In the agreement, the following three items were resolved and listed:

There is only one Interland and it is a part of Tymaria, all references to Interland on the Micro-Monde Map are to be erased.

The Republic of Amerada will not claim any Tymarian territory, now or in the future.  Tymaria will do likewise for Amerada.

President Washburn must apologize in the Tymarian Forum for his actions and agree to sign the agreement.

Soon after the agreement was signed, the President of South Mondesia, Peter Little, sent a communique to the Ministry of Defense stating that he wished for Tymarian troops be stationed on South Mondesian soil.  He has offered to build a base there for the troops and has set up a joint command forum within South Mondesia.  As Minister of Defense, I , referred the President to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hammer out the details of the agreement.  

South Mondesia, another micronation on the Micro-Monde map has expressed a desire for Tymarian protection from the overtures of the Ameradan government which has expressed that South Mondesia should be a part of Amerada.

Within the Attera-Macusiaa forum their are plans to merge together Attera-Macusiaa with Argaal.  Since Attera-Macusiaa has annexed Atteran Makonnia and has installed the new Imperial Ras, Dabe the First, there has been an agreement for this merger to be complete by 28 February, 2002, on the Le'ult Jihan's birthday.  The new Tymarian state, if approved will be called the Federation of the Atteran Imperial States and will informally be called the Atteran Federation.  A new government system based on a joint executive council called the Grand Executive Council will rule the Atteran Federation until a full legislature can be formed.  Although the Le'ult is the sovereign, she is a minor and is represented by the GEC.  Upon creation of the new Yezawd Derg or Legislature, the GEC will become the Upper House of the Yezawd Derg and the Lower House will be set up similar to the Tymarian House of Peoples.  Upon completion of the Legislative elections, a Prime Minister elected by popular vote will become the executive of the state.   To generate income for Attera-Macusiaa and to establish an active government, the GEC has implemented a land sale in the hopes of attracting business and citizens.  Although Noble titles will be given only to those that provide actual services to the Atteran Federation and to those who are deemed deserving, the titles will be tied to the land on a symbolic basis.  

The office of Governing Ras has been created as the governor of each of the Atteran Republics that make up the federation.  These citizens will be in charge of governing each republic, the collection of taxes and keeping land purchases in order within their particular area.

The current GEC consists of HIH Diga Makonnen IV of Attera-Macusiaa, HH Dabe I of Makonnia, and HH Charles I of Argaal.  The Lower House of the Yezawd Derg has available openings for representatives of the republics of Baut Chii-Sedera, Dahlakh-Massawa, Sa'an Republic, Kreutzberg, and Vega Baja.  The representatives for Attera Proper, Makonnia, and Argaal will be held by the Imperial Rases.  Out of all of the republics, the Sa'an Republic will have the most different set up.  The Governing Ras post in Sa'an will be given to the noble who has performed the most outstanding service for the federation and will hold responsibility for it for 6 months.  During that tenure, he or she will be allowed to keep 30% of all revenue generated by Sa'an as gratitude for that service.

The Principality of Sidona

The Principality of Sidona, an Indian and French inspired micronation, ruled by HRH Prince Constantin, has definitely caught my attention as a micronation worth spending the time to get to know.  I stumbled onto the Principality of Sidona by reading a post by Prince Constantin in the Ministry of Financial Affairs.  He stated that he was interested in the Tymarian economic simulation and wanted to peg his currency to the Tymark.

After reading his post, I took a look at the Sidonean website and was quite impressed by the layout and felt that it was refreshing to see such organization in a website. The web site of the Principality of Sidona can be found here: http://www.sidona.cjb.net

Recently, AtterConn Gmbh, has been contracted to design banknotes for the Sidonean Mint which is in charge of the production of the Sidonean Dollar.  AtterConn released the first draft of the banknotes to Prince Constantin for his approval.  Prince Constantin, an absolute monarch, with progressive ideas, hopes that Sidona will be an Intermicronational hub of activity and has established relations with several micronations.  With continued ventures with other micronations and micronational companies, Sidona is well on her way to becoming a major influence in Intermicronational affairs.

 Union of South Mondesia

  
The Union of South Mondesia under the enlightened leadership of President Peter Little.  The Union of South Mondesia is a micronation based on the Macroworld nations of Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.  South Mondesia caught my attention during the Tymarian-Amerada crisis and I found that the citizens of South Mondesia were most kind and helpful with gathering information about the Micro-Monde map of which they are a part.  

In light of recent tensions between Amerada and the Union of South Mondesia, the South Mondesian government has requested to Tymaria that Tymarian troops be stationed on South Mondesia to ensure that Amerada is kept at arms reach.  The Tymarian Ministry of Defense stated that it would be pleased to support the South Mondesian government provided there is communication with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who will have to work out an agreement.  To further sweeten the deal, the South Mondesian government has said that the building of a base for the Tymarian troops will be paid for by the South Mondesian government.

After a two month period of extreme activity, the Secretary-General has finally decided to place the decision of whether or not the Republic of Morovia can occupy the vacant seat of Morovia to the General Assembly.  Lord Diga Makonnen IV has headed off any attempt by both the Republicans and the Loyalists who each have supporters in the General Assembly, who will probably now state their viewpoints on the floor of LOSS.

The Loyalists wish for Morovia to rest in peace as per the wishes of HRH King Vincent III.  Many Loyalists have stayed away from the fledgling Republic on the grounds that the Republic has "tarnished" the image of Morovia and has reduced it to the status of a joke.

The Republicans long for a revival of Morovia, but has immediately come under fire from hard line Loyalists.  The Republicans have gained recognition from such micronations as Reunion,  the Proletarian Democratic Union, Sidona and Babkha which has basically turned the Republic into a puppet state under the guise of "military assistance".  What's most interesting is that Tymaria continues to show no interest at all over Morovia, and views it as completely unimportant.  

Most of the month Lord Diga has been gathering all of the facts possible so that as much information as possible can be given to the General Assembly, so that an educated choice can be made, rather than one based on emotion.  

In the letter to the General Assembly, Lord Diga expressed his intent to finally bring this suspense to a close by issuing the following statement that contained HH Charles the First's, fact finding reply to Lord Diga's request to determine the truth about Morovia.
