2020 in the MicroWiki community

A montage representing 2020

2020 (MMXX) was a leap year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2020th year of the Common Era (CE) and anno Domini (AD) designations, and the first year of the 2020s decade. It marks the fifteenth year since MicroWiki's initial foundation. The year began in the Discord Era, through the High Discord to Late Discord periods, and oversaw a number of significant events. The Grand Unified Micronational (GUM) retained its position as the largest and most influential intermicronational organisation, growing to a record-breaking number of forty-eight member states. The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic caused huge disruption; bringing in a huge response from the intermicronational community, it led to a number of retired micronationalists returning to the hobby contributing to a massive surge in activity. The community was hit with an outpouring of grief after the death of Nicholas Randouler, founder and 4th Prince of Posaf, on 3 June, which came with declarations of days of national mourning, places named after him, memorial services, posthumous awards and memorial videos.

Federal Republic of Francisville

Federal Republic of Francisville

Francisville [/ˈfrɑːnsɪs.vɪl/], officially the Federal Republic of Francisville (Francillian: Federalsrepublik Frankestädt /fɹʌnkəʃtæt/; French: République fédérale de Francisville; German: Bundesrepublik Frankestadt; Ripuarian: Bondesrepoblėck Frankestädt; Francillish: Federaale Republik vus Frankestaad), was a landlocked federal republic of four semi-autonomous cantons, bordered by the Landashir, Germany, Pristinia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Federated Republics of A1

Federated Republica of A1

The Federated Republics of A1 was founded on 4 November 2010, after the federation of all four protectorates of the former Most Glorious People's Republic of A1. It went on to become a prosperous and influential nation within the "MicroWiki Sphere". It was successor state to the Most Glorious People's Republic of A1, although both simply used A1 in general communications. A1 prided itself on not being a micronation based entirely virtually, but existing mainly in the physical world, through such activities as military exercises, government meetings and government projects. It officially "moved away" from the MicroWiki Sector in November 2011, following a dispute within the Organisation of Active Micronations between Gordon Freeman, founder of A1, and Sebastian Linden over the latter's use of the former's real name. However, for all intents and purposes this "move" was purely symbolic, with A1 maintaining close ties with the MicroWiki Sector until its dissolution, later also forging ties with the Micras Sector. Freeman left micronationalism on 13 May 2012 after another dispute regarding the use of his real name, this time with George Cruikshank. After a resultant lengthy period of inactivity, A1 collapsed in August 2012. (more...)

Flag Model of Theodian history

The first national flag of Theodia (2010-11)

The Flag Model of Theodian history divides Theodian history into separate eras for each national flag. Between 2010 and now, Theodia has gone through eight different national flags, and it has changed to a new one at a pretty steady pace; about once a year. This makes Theodia's national flags a convenient proxy for the normal passage of time, and therefore a reasonable way to apportion the country's history. The Flag Model dates back to early 2011, when Theodia changed to its second flag. That first flag change was meant to symbolize a rebirth of the nation – a separation of the past from the present. (more...)

Flag of Australis

Flag of Australis

The flag of the Unified Royal States of Australis, also known as the Hexi-Star flag, is the current civil and state flag of Australis.

The current flag was adopted following criticism of the previous flag, and to also better represent a change in the nations governance from the original Pentarchy system to the nation's present form as a Grand Duchy. The flag of Australis is a vertical flag composed of four colours in a symmetrical design, and features six stars. Five outer five pointed stars surround a large inner five-pointed star, representing the original five founders of Australis, and also the five original states of Australis: Amicitia, Integritas, Beatitudinem, Felicitatem and Aequalitatem. The inner five pointed star represents the five states unified into one nation. Two of the colours featured on the flag, green and gold, are the national colours of Australis, in addition to its macronation, Australia. Currently, only one physical cloth Australissian flag has been created, as well as several other paper flags. (more...)

Karl Friedrich became a co-owner of MicroWiki alongside Jonathan I on 14 February 2022. In 2004, Fabian Schneider founded the Sovereign Principality of Seraya alongside classmates Richard Conklin and Matthew McQuade. Seraya eventually proved successful, and sparked the creation of several other micronations in the nearby area.

The Centre specialises in documenting legacy operating systems and software by running them on virtual machines using the VMware Workstation program and the hosting of old images thought to have been lost. The Centre is split into three main parts; the National Centre of Computing proper in Alston, where the majority of machines are operated; the NCC Image Repository, which hosts old (primarily technology-related) pictures thought to have been lost; and the Technical Repair Centre in Havilland, Wellesley, where several functioning and non-functioning legacy machines are housed, and when necessary, sent in for maintenance. The Technical Repair Centre also serves as a museum of obsolete hardware in various conditions. Each guest machine is left close to its original state, with some light customisation in some systems (notably the Windows 3.1, 98 and 2000 machines) and some additional software released at the same time as or close to the system's release (such as Microsoft Office 95 for the Windows 95 machine and Microsoft Plus! 98 for the Windows 98 machine). At current the Centre has virtual machines of nearly every Windows operating system released between 1992 and 2001, as well as a large collection of unreleased (beta) editions. (more...)

Nick Maggiore (born Nicholas David Maggiore, 22 March 1993 - 16 April 2011) was a St.Charlian journalist, writer and commentator. Throughout his micronational career and until his passing he was the main reporter and Director of the St.Charlian Observer, having succeeded Magnus de Armis in November 2009. A St.Charlian citizen since late August 2009, he gained intermicronational attention during the Observergate, when he earned the Presidential Citation Ribbon for an article regarding a diplomatic crisis between St.Charlie and the now-defunct Democratic People's Republic of Erusia. On 8 November 2009, he became the first Press Secretary of the Grand Unified Micronational, a position he voluntarily resigned from on 22 August 2010. His articles generally spoke of the main events taking place in the MicroWiki Community, that he described through "Eat at Nicks", the editorial and column of the Observer. Many of his publications were often followed by varied comments and opinions, which also made him one of the most acclaimed and controversial journalists of the MicroWiki Community. Although nominated for Finest Writing in the Schneider Awards, he later lost due to being considered "too controversial" against Gordon Freeman, but nevertheless received an "honourable mention" on 12 April 2011.

Observergate

Observergate front cover

"Observergate" was a journalism scandal that erupted in September 2009 and was centred on the St.Charlian Observer and the Democratic People's Republic of Erusia. Carl Pierson, an Erusian legislator, sparked the conflict after he sent the Observer a damning letter describing Erusia as dictatorial and undemocratic. Tensions between Erusia and St.Charlie escalated rapidly and following the publishing of Erusia's official response in the Observer, a two-month period of cold relations followed. Although at the time it appeared to be a genuine information leak, in light of the departure of Robert Lethler from the community Observergate has been shown be a complex machination of his, intended to investigate the effects of newspaper censorship on the liberal democracies of the community. Prior to the scandal, the Federal Republic of St.Charlie and the Democratic People's Republic of Erusia enjoyed positive foreign relations and bilateral ties, having previously signed a mutual non-aggression pact which prevented both countries from involving themselves in the affairs of the other.

Reylan Imperial Triumvirate

Imperial Flag

The Reylan Imperial Triumvirate (also commonly referred to as The Reylan Empire, The Imperium or The Empire) is a territorial European based micronation, with a government based in a landlocked enclave within the United Kingdom. De jure a decentralised imperial triumvirate, the Empire is de facto an absolute monarchy, ruled by the Emperor, HIM Taeglan I Nihilus, who is also its founder. Current Imperial policy precludes Imperial membership in intermicronational organisations, although the Empire is active in calling for an end to what the Emperor has described as 'frivolous' micronational activities, as well as an open and outspoken opposition to the so-called 'wars' perpetuated by some members of the micronational community. By the standards of many micronations, the Empire is stable, having not had a change of governmental form for over four years. This, combined with a lack of scandals and negative interactions with other micronations has lead to the Empire being considered 'dull' by some; however, the Empire in fact has a highly developed infrastructure, and entertains cordial relations with many micronations within and without the MicroWiki sphere.

History of MicroWiki (website)

Main Page in 2012

MicroWiki initially began on 27 May 2005 as a website hosted on the Wikicities (later Wikia and now Fandom) wiki hosting service, after being created by Fabian Maximilian Schneider for personal use. Initially available only in English, other language editions of MicroWiki would be launched between 2006 to 2012. MicroWiki became independent from Wikia on 7 November 2010, originally as microwiki.org.uk. Petya d'Égtavie managed the wiki since becoming independent from Wikia, before selling ownership of the wiki to Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia on 13 May 2014. Karl Friedrich became a co-owner of MicroWiki alongside Jonathan I on 14 February 2022. In 2004, Fabian Schneider founded the Sovereign Principality of Seraya alongside classmates Richard Conklin and Matthew McQuade. Seraya eventually proved successful, and sparked the creation of several other micronations in the nearby area. Schneider wanted to be able to easily record information on Seraya and other nations, and so he founded MicroWiki on 27 May 2005 upon registering the domain micronations.wikicities.com(more...).

Micronation

Possible origin of the term micronation in The People's Almanac #2

A micronation is, broadly speaking, any self-proclaimed sovereign state without international recognition that is treated differently to a state with limited recognition. There is no widely accepted consensus on the definition of a micronation within the field of micropatriology. Geographically, most micronations are very small, are often the outgrowth of a single individual, rely on their sovereign state (macronation) to some extent, and mimic nation-states by proclaiming national symbols—such as a flag—and issuing coins, banknotes or passports. Micronations can be founded for a variety of reasons, including discontent with one's country, personal entertainment, theoretical experimentation, protest, artistic expression, satire, tourism and the conduct of criminal activity. Most micronational claims are considered trivial enough to be ignored by the sovereign states whose territory they claim. (more...).
