Talk:Archive:Grand Unified Micronational

Transfer of Power - Speech by Outgoing Chairman
Mr. Lethler must apologise for not being able to attend the July 12th Quorum due to internal political issues, but has prepared the following address he would like everyone to see:

"Dear friends and colleagues,

As you are all aware, tonight at midnight my term as the Chairman of the Quorum of Delegates comes to an end. For the past three months, I have had the incredible honour of serving as the elected leader for this truly incredible institution - it has been an extraordinary privellege to serve this organisation in such an important capacity. For the past three months, I have had the opportunity to work with the Heads of State and Government from an incredibly diverse micronational community, striving together tackle the issues that our community has faced to lay the foundation for a united, peaceful intermicronational community. As Chairman, I have tried to ensure that the Grand Unified Micronational stays true to her founding principles and works to promote sustainable, progressive development at all levels so that we may all achieve our respective political, social, economic and cultural objectives in the framework of a stable, peaceful community.

The past three months have been in many ways both the best and the worst of my micronational career. I have had the often difficult responsibility of trying to unite this community and galvinise them towards fulfilling our shared vision for a microworld free from war and from intermicronational discrimination, our vision for a world where we can all pursue progressive development and advancement freely and with the help of our friends abroad. It has been an honour to work closely with the Hispanic micronational community through our esteemed member the Kingdom of Finismund, and I am sure I speak for all of us when I say that I hope we will continue to build ties with this diverse if somewhat turbulent community. There have been many conflicts among our members and those associated with them and, though this institution has enjoyed success in wars such as the Siple War, it is with great regret that I say we have failed - or at least, I personally have failed - in resolving a number of other conflicts.

Our institution has grown remarkably since it's foundation nearly half a year ago. As the second ever official leader of the Grand Unified Micronational, I would rather like to think that history will remember my term fondly. Though I have enjoyed my work a great deal, even if my term was only brief, I sincerely hope you have all found me to be a worthy successor to my dear colleague and predecessor Kalvin Koolidge. Though mistakes have been made and opportunities missed, I feel that what we have accomplished together this quarter by far outweighs that which we failed to accomplish. It is time for another chapter in the history of the GUM to come to a close and for us to turn the page to next installation in a story I hope will last for many, many more chapters before it must end.

As I leave office tonight, on July 12th 2009, we must turn our attention to the issues that still face the Grand Unified Micronational. There is still much work to be done with regards to improving the image and capabilities of this organisation that we all love and cherish so dearly - we must, in the coming quarter, work harder to promote intermicronational peace and to ensure our members have all the support they need in pursuing development in the five fields our institution specialises in. The War over Micronational Communism, which I must regret I could not act absolutely impartially in due to my obligations as then-Supreme People's Commissioner of Erusia, has shown that a new, insidious form of micronational terrorism is gripping the minds of some individuals within and without of this community. There is also the issue of cooperative development - we are now seeing the beginnings of a Free Trading Zone, a common currency and an intermicronational educational institute. It is of paramount importance that we all strive to realise these visions and show the rest of the microworld what we can accomplish when we work together.

Sad though I may be to leave this office, it has been of my own choice, just as it has been my own choice to stand down as Supreme People's Commissioner in Erusia. Just as we are now entering the point in the Erusian political cycle where power is transferred to the next generation, I believe that the time has come for the Grand Unified Micronational to welcome a leader who will bring a fresh energy and new ideas to the office, having all ready risen above and beyond the call of duty to serve this institution. We now welcome a man who I am honoured not only to say is my colleague, but my friend, His Grace the Grand Duke Jamie Sutherland of the Democratic Duchy of Francisville. Just as Mr Koolidge transferred power officially to me at one-minute past midnight on April 12th, I now officially transfer power to Mr Sutherland.

I ask you to join with me in wishing Jamie Sutherland the best of luck as he assumes the mantle of Chairman of the Quorum. Having had the great privellege of working closely with him in his capacity as Chairman of the Presidium of the Justice Commission, an office I now make the move to many months after I presided over it's first Special Tribune, I know for certain that he is more than capable of performing the duties that lie ahead of him. We also welcome our Right Honourable friend Alexander Reinhardt, a figure of great renown and respect, as Vice-Chairman - I am sure that Mr Koolidge would agree with me when I say that we could not ask for a finer pair of men to follow in our footsteps. It has been a privillege and an honour to work with you all, just as I am sure it will be a privillege and an honour to work with Mr Sutherland and Mr Reinhardt.

Thank you, my friends."

"My fellow members and close friends,

This month you have honoured me greatly but selecting me to lead this institution we all love and care for as your new chairperson. In micronationalism, I have yet to take part in any venture as rewarding as Grand Unified Micronational for either myself or for the nation of Francisville. From the day Mr Tierney founded this organisation, devoted members fused together for the goals of security, advancement, and the continued strength and growth of micronationalism. My predecessors, the fantastic Mr Kollidge and mr Lethler, have given me a great deal to live up to in the prmotion and protection of these values.

We have faced great challenges in the past, and more will surely be showing themselves in these next few months. The evil of war is never far in front of us, and arguements brew up from many differences that are present between our members. These things are but grease on the end of a telescope, unimportant things that we must clear away to be able to see the bigger picture clearly. Only then we will be able to see the great blooms of advancement and social development, safety and security, equality and prosperity, the qualities the micronational world shares. Let us not argue over the tenth point after nine have been agreed, for own diversity is our strength. It brings freshness and new ideas for all backgrounds and perspectives and leads us towards our true goals and morals.

Robert Lethler, our previous chairman, has shown and faught for this. Mr Lethler have given me the most gracious compliments, but we must look to him and give him praise for the work he has done for this organisation. We will all be saddened to see his departure from office, but I for one am thrilled that his experience, intelligence and wisdom can now be found in our judiciary. I only hope that I can live up to those I follow.

Jamie Sutherland"

How Do You Become A Member?
Hello i represent The Republic of Varcetia and i would like to know how a micronation joins this organisation, i would also like to know if the is any chance that my nation is allowed to join?

You must follow the Common Application Process in order to be accepted. In order to begin the CAP, you must contact the incumbent Chairman (government_francisville@yahoo.co.uk) and make a formal request on behalf of Varcetia to join the Grand Unified Micronational. The Chairman will then conduct a perliminary review of the Republic and may request access to any constitutional documents your nation has, and if no such documentation exists, the Chairman may request a detailed outline of your national government and your nation's civil rights laws. Having completed this review, the Chairman must decide to retain or reject the application (only one application has ever been vetoed by a Chairman, due to special circumstances). If retained, the application will be put before members of the Quorum for voting. Three votes are required for Provisional Membership, seven for Full Membership.

Request for a trial
Having heard the complaints of Stigistan against us, the Democratic People's Republic of Erusia is formally requesting a trial be held concerning the events of the War over Micronational Communism - specifically, if the Democratic People's Republic has violated the constitution and if so is punishment from the institution necessary. We are absolutely confident that we have acted within the limits of the constitution but in order to satisfy our critics, wish this trial to go forward at the earliest possible date so that we may resolve this issue and demonstrate to our political enemies that we did not act inappropriately at all during the war. Robert Lethler

Rhodesia-Finismund Situation
I just got off chat with Petrus. This is the conversation, you may need some French and Spanish translators:

Finismund: Good night

I´ve return

Sandefreistikhan: Ah

Hello

Finismund: A question

Sandefreistikhan: You gave your territory to Rhodesia for 100 years?

Finismund: What´s happend with Rhodesia?

Sandefreistikhan: De la traité, vous prennez votre pays pour 100 ans

Oh, and not alot

Finismund: C'est impossible!

Sandefreistikhan: Oui

C'est là-bas, sur la traité

Finismund: Je ne l'ont pas signée

Sandefreistikhan: une personne a signé pour vous

wait..

Dime si el traductor de obras

Finismund: What language do you prefer to speak?

Sandefreistikhan: 	Según el tratado, que pierde su tierra a Rhodesia durante 100 años. Y creo que la tierra Westartica ganancias

Finismund: ¡Y un jamón!

¿Cómo puede ser esto?

Sandefreistikhan: 	Artículo IIINinguna de las Partes Contratantes celebrar cualquier alianza en contra de la otra Parte Contratante o parte en cualquier bloque o en cualquier acción o medida en contra de la otra Parte Contratante. Además Finismund renuncia al mismo en

Finismund: Yo lo traduje mal

Creí que ese territorio se refería a la embajada

Sandefreistikhan: No se preocupe, estamos protestando por este tratado

Finismund: Pero.... ¿Qué lengua prefiere usted hablar?

Sandefreistikhan: sandefreistikhan said we would not recognise these changes

Until we heard directly from you

It seems to me like you do not want this

English, if best

Finismund: We do not attach to anything Rodhesia only the territory of the embassy

Are you here?

Sandefreistikhan: yes

No creo que habrá alguna embajada ..y entendemos que traducido mal, que era nuestra preocupación

Finismund: Nosotros somos un pueblo libre. Rodhesia no tiene nuestras tierras

¿Cuando dice que dará nuestras tierras a Lawrence?

Finismund: Estoy de vuelta

Sandefreistikhan: Nos sorprende, y Mister Lethler ha declarado que no están por la presente, y no.

Finismund: Supuestamente, ¿Cuando se han otorgado mis tierras?

¿Cuando han otorgado mis tierras a Lawrence?

Sandefreistikhan: cuando se firmó el tratado, supuestamente

Finismund: No

Digo que cuando otorga Rodhesia las tierras de Finismund a Westártica

Sandefreistikhan: One moment

Finismund: Quiero pedir ayuda a GUM

Sandefreistikhan: ¿Puedes conseguirme el tratado?

Si

Si

Finismund: Lo firmé, pero lo traduje mal

Sandefreistikhan: Sandefreistikhan está con usted, esto es indignante!

je comprends

Finismund: ¿Qué hago? ¿abandonar el micronacionalismo?

Sandefreistikhan: je comprends, Petrus

No

Finismund: Pero... ¿Quién en su sano juicio va a ceder sus tierras?

Sandefreistikhan: Usted debe estar

Finismund: Eso es que lo traduje mal

¿Qué micronaciones están conmigo?

Sandefreistikhan: GUM

Mi

Finismund: Estoy de vuelta

¿Qué micronaciones están conmigo?

Sandefreistikhan: I am, the GUM is

You were tricked, we understand that, and we will stand with you

I have declared the treaty void

unmcn.forumcity.com/viewtopic.php?t=8

Finismund: Thank you

Sandefreistikhan: pas de dieu

Finismund: I will declare the treaty as null and broke diplomacy with Rodhesia

Sandefreistikhan: Bon, bon

Finismund: While all this wonder. Rodhesia always been an ally of Finismund.

Sandefreistikhan: Perhaps, too, it is not Rodhesia, but Westartica behind this?

Finismund: Maybe. It is best to ignore all this and that micronations no heed to this.

Sandefreistikhan: perhaps, but this is your land

Oh ya, I want to show you something

Finismund: How many micronations are agree with this treaty?

Sandefreistikhan: Only the UNMCN

micronations.wikia.com/wiki/Order_of_the_Buddha

Finismund: All members of UNMCN?

Sandefreistikhan: The Secretary General approved it

Finismund: Thank you very much

Sandefreistikhan: C'est rien

Finismund: El gobierno de Rodhesia es como sus antecesores. Unos imperialistas.

Escuche

Hay una cosa que nos diferencia de Westártica

Para Westártica, esos territorios son propiedad privada del Gran Duque

Pero para nosotros, es un fragmento de tierra con una soberanía que reside en el pueblo, no en el rey

¿Qué opina?

Sandefreistikhan: Eso es bueno, pero ahora debe luchar por su soberanía

Y les puedo asegurar, que todos estamos de Finismund

Finismund: ¿Luchar?

Me conformo con que las micronaciones del mundo no les hagan caso

Sandefreistikhan: Si

Finismund: ¿Cuando puedo reunirme con GUM?

De forma urgente

Sandefreistikhan: Yo no soy el presidente, pero creo que debería hacer una reunión

Finismund: He de irme

Pero GUM está conmigo, ¿no?

Adios

Sandefreistikhan: Si

--His Majesty Guillaume le Premier 20:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

The UNMCN didn't agree the treaty. The Sectretary General will waint until Finismund react and can defend theirself, than all the members will vote. Petrus, two day's ago I send you a full rapport with all the information you need about Rhodesia, GUM, UNMCN, GAMA,... I just got your mail that you did'n receive it so I've mail it again to you. I suggest that you study the rapport so you know eveything in detail and then react. The last two weeks I've done a lot of work for you!--Niels Vermeersch 07:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
