User:Turasa/Turasa

Turasa (or the Altered State of Turasa) is an experimental micronation that lays claim to both physical and "immaterial territories". The use of the term "state" is a play on the definitions of the word, implying that Turasa is both a "a politically organized body of people usually occupying a definite territory" and a "mode or condition of being".

Turasa has officially "opened its doors" to citizens on 5 May 2016.

Government
Turasa is a commonwealth, which "is run by the citizens, who may individually offer their responsible opinion for the welfare of all Turasans". The final word comes from the Supremo, who "oversees everything".

Ideals
The Turasan manifesto begins with the reasoning behind its formation."'We have tired of the smug sureness by which the world is run, fully aware of the breathtaking unknown yet undiscovered. It is therefore our duty, as honorable citizens of the Altered State of Turasa, to welcome the fluidity through which unimaginable possibilities appear and be aware of the various forms they take.'"

Citizenship
There are only two requirements to become a member of Turasa. That is, "an open mind and the willingness to challenge the hegemonic perception of reality".
