Talk:Archive:Grand Unified Micronational

NOTICE FROM THE CHAIRMAN: Poor turnout this week will not be tolerated. It has all ready been agreed that if we do not see a significant improvement in activity, the leadership of this institution will be forced to undertake unilateral reforms to correct the problem. Those nations who are in prolonged inactivity within the GUM may find themselves down-graded to Provisional Members - it is within my power to do so, and I will not hesitate to exercise that power.

Hostile atmosphere
Is there a anti-St. Charlian campain or a conspiracy against St. Charlie? I’m not the only one with this thoughts but since the article from the St. Charlian Observer there is a hostile atmosphere on MicroWiki, particularly in the recent days what is also noticed by other micronations.

About the ‘Homophobic and anti-communist’: also we have condemned this statements of Magnus, Flandrensis don’t tolerate discrimination! But the statements of Magnus were wrong interpreted by the Erusian press. Those were statements from Berlusconi (this statement was also on international news). Berlusconi is heavily criticized by Italian citizens, amongst then also citizens from St. Charlie. The statement of Magnus was part of a ‘game’ where the Italian citizens of St. Charlie mocking with Berlusconi and therefore also used his statements. The purpose of Magnus was never to be homophobic or insulting homosexuals. It’s a misunderstand that was blown up. I believe in freedom of speech so it’s the full right of the Erusian media to write what they want, but the part ‘Homophobic and anti-communist’ on the MicroWiki page of Magnus seems to personal. I would also react on this: “The fact of the matter is that the Federal Republic of St.Charlie is being proven to be a deeply intolerant nation, with two leading political figures who both openly condemn homosexuality”: St. Charlie and Alexander Reinhardt have done enough in the GUM to the prove the opposite of this.

Not only is there a hostile atmosphere on MicroWiki, also by members of the GUM. I’ve read articles with: “''The Reinhardt dictatorship cannot be allowed to continue, it simply cannot. If the Saint Charlian Socialist Movement cannot win their coming elections, well, it would seem that a revolutionary struggle for liberation is the only acceptable alternative.” The Chairman declined to comment whether the ENCP or the government would be likely to offer support for such a revolution if it came''.” This worries some micronations and members of the GUM.

And today I read on MicroWiki that New-Europe threaten St. Charlie with a war? Is MicroWiki changed in a battlefield? Will GUM members attacks each other?

I will probably get a lot of criticism because this message. They would say that I’m also a homophobic by supporting Magnus. That I’m anti-Erusian because I criticize their policy against Alexander Reinhardt and that I criticize the Erusian media. Therefore I will be clear: I’m not homophobic, several friends and members of Flandrensis are homosexuals and we have respect for then! I respect the freedom of speech and press, the Erusian media may write what they want. But I don’t understand the attacks on Alexander Reinhardt.

The GUM must take actions against this hostile atmosphere. This whole situation damaged the image of the GUM (I don’t means this insulting but people considered the Chairman and Vice-Chairman as the bullies of MicroWiki). Maybe Mr. Sutherland can act as a mediator to find a peaceful solution and to restore the harmony in the GUM? Mr. Sutherland is a neutral and respectful person, I hope that the involved nations will take actions to restore the image of the GUM toward other nations.

Respectfully,

Niels of Flandrensis

ANNOUNCEMENT: RHODESIA AND UNMCN
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Most of you will still remember the great pain we all went through during the Rhodesian Conflict. The Grand Unified Micronational's peacekeeping and conflict mitigation abilities were put to test like never before, with a delegation of GUM officials - myself included in that number - working to break Finismund free of its treaty obligations to the Republic of Rhodesia who saught to brutally annex them. Our delegation uncovered wide-spread corruption within the United Micronations organisation, UNMCN, exposing a series of serious and illegal passport scams being carried out by Ian van de Kaap and his associates. We discovered that nations such as Rhodesia were posing as a government in exile of a former sovereign nation-state, despite living moe than 8,000 miles away from its capital. The UNMCN and many of its member states were all front organisations for the conduction of this scam and for micronational terrorist activities, that included the exploitation of poor translation services to force nations like Finismund to surrender their territory to Rhodesia.

And now I bring you all great news - both the UNMCN and the Republic of Rhodesia no longer exist. The UNMCN forum has been deleted, Rhodesia and the nation that hosted its website have both vanished off the face of the Earth. Their websites are defunct and Rhodesian passport scams are now listed under common passport scams in a number of websites, leading me to believe that the international authorities may have acted on the complaints we sent to them.

My friends - we have won. Chairman Robert Lethler

UNMCN
The website of Rhodesia indeed dissapeard a time ago, we don't have problems with then anymore. Where did you found the information about those illegal passport scams? About the UNMCN, the website and forum dissapeard from the web last week but Patron McCleary just informed me that the UNMCN still exist. Please noticed: not all members of the UNMCN support the annexation of Finismund by Rhodesia or are part of micronational terrorist activities, I refered to Flandrensis & Arkel, Austenasia, Réunion, Cisalpine Republic, Riboalte, St. Charlie, Republic of A1, ... When I have more news I will informed the GUM. --Niels Vermeersch 14:02, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Response
The Right Honourable Patron McCleary can say whatever he wants but if even the forum shows the opposite, his words are worthless. The UNMCN is de facto dead and the only thing he can do about itis to write memoires. About Rhodesia: did anyone hear about Ian Van de Kaap ? Since the Finismund issue, he totally disappeared from the internet. If the Rhodesian website doesn't exist anymore, does it mean that the Rhodesian occupation in Finismund is over too ?

Going back to bed now (I still feel like trash unfortunately). Might come back tonight. --Cajak 15:34, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

IMPORTANT NOTICE - WEBSITE AND OFFICIAL GUM EMAILS
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I can announce the Grand Unified Micronational officially has its own domain name (http://www.grandunifiedmicronational.org) and a new, professional website is currently being designed for use with it. This website is being funded entirely by the Central People's Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Erusia - I have paid personally, and the State Treasury will be transfering funds to me on November 15th 2009 to account for the expense. Subsequently, all future payments will be made by the State Treasury.

As a result of this, I can also announce that we now have official e-mails to contact GUM officials with. All three are now operational. These e-mails are:
 * lethler@grandunifiedmicronational.org - the e-mail of the Chairman (after I leave office, this will become chairman@grandunifiedmicronational.org)
 * judge@grandunifiedmicronational.org - the Supreme Judge
 * vicechair@grandunifiedmicronational.org - the Vice-Chairman

Please use these e-mails for official GUM business in future. Robert Lethler

Chat box on the website
Why was it deleted? I have posted a respectable message and you haven't even considered it. Do you refuse to listen to people who use a respectful tone? Joe Foxon 14:33, November 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * The chatbox was removed because the IP ban is ineffective and you are banned from the GUM and are systematically violating the terms of that ban, which is against you. If Barrington wishes to appeal, a competent delegate must do so on its behalf. Your message has still been recorded and can be produced easily if you wish it.

Statement dictated by Robert Lethler

I wish for the statement to be posted on the Wikia Joe Foxon 19:24, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

It shall be done within the next 24 hours then. Lethler
