The Micronational Assembly, commonly referred to by its initials MA, is a micronational organization that is presumed to have been founded in April 2016, on the now-defunct Google+ platform as a community. Since 2018, the Micronational Assembly has had communications through Discord. The objective of the MA is to promote peace and the common good. The structure of the MA consists of the general assembly, judicial branch, council, and executive branch, which is defined by the MA Charter. The MA has 56 Delegates and 21 Observers as of June 2023. The current Chairman of the MA is Anthony I.

History

2016-2019

Early Period

Not much is known about the history of the M.A. on Google+ due to the shutdown of the platform on 2 April 2019. The Micronational Assembly is presumed to have been found in April 2016 as a Google+ Community by an unknown individual. It rose to prominence in 2017 after micronationalists in the YouTube sector, such as Deron for Super President and Free Thoughts and Ideas, joined the community. During this time, the MA was interconnected between YouTube and Google+. Later that year, Nicolas Miranda, one of the owners of the organization at the time, became the Chairman and established absolute rule over the Micronational Assembly. The absolute rule was met with some opposition as subjected to the landmark legal case The People v Nicolas Miranda.

On 31 July 2018, the Charter of the Micronational Assembly was adopted, which would significantly shape the modern structure of the MA. On 7 October 2018, Nicolas Miranda resigned as the chair and granted his position to William Wilson. A day later, the first incarnation of the Micronational Assembly Discord Server was created, and around the same time, news spread about the shutdown of Google+, which led to migration to the MA Discord Server.

On 9 March 2019, Tsar Stefan I became the Chairman of the MA under the newly developed voting system. From the beginning to mid Summer of 2019 the U.C.C.R-MA War (an ideological conflict rather than an actual war) was fought within the MA resulting in the expulsion of Zhujiang, the federative republic of the U.C.C.R at the time.

August Crisis

In August 2019, Würbec, a member state, declared war on Saspearian. After several days, a treaty was signed, which ended the war. Emperor Anthony I received a message in which supposedly Würbec was attempting to puppet Saspearian. A few days later, he was invited to a group chat with two other people in regard to what to do with the supposed hostility. One of the members insisted on declaring war on Würbec. Others found out about the group chat, and as a result, Emperor Anthony I was kicked out of the Federation of the United States server, despite Anthony I not being in agreement to declare war on Würbec. Emperor Anthony messaged Corvin I to inquire about the events, with Anthony I accused of espionage as a result. The Terran Civil War had begun as a result of the tensions between Saspearian and Terra. It was agreed upon for the nation of Terra to dissolve to resolve the conflict. The Terran Civil War continued on until it ended later that month. Anthony I accused certain members of harassment, leading to a trial that resulted in Anthony I's expulsion from the MA through an executive order. In December 2019, Robert Williams IV's Discord account was permanently banned from the platform due to the account being reported. It was speculated that Emperor Anthony I was responsible for having the account removed due to his statement that he filed a report back in August 2019 due to harassment. As a result, the second incarnation of the MA Discord Server was made.

2020

In February 2020, the Second Charter of the Micronational Assembly was adopted, which was signed by Robert Williams IV. On 24 February 2020, Anthony I was unbanned from the MA after Robert Williams IV pardoned him. Later that same day, the voting for the MA Council Election of February 2020 was held, and Jacob Deceuninck became the chairman. Then on 17 July 2020, The second incarnation of the MA Discord Server was deleted due to an unknown reason. The MA Council Election of July 2020 was held on 29 July through 30 July 2020. Hunt Powell was elected as the chairman via council vote and election, beginning his term on August 1. His term would introduce weekly meetings and a multitude of other things but was rife with controversy. In November 2020, the third incarnation of the MA Discord Server was deleted by Hunt Powell, citing boredom. He later resigned for the same reason and transferred the position to Tsar Stefan I following a 3–0 vote in the council.

2021

On 30 January 2021, Isaac J. White attempted to nuke the discord server to instate his opinion that the assembly should be put to rest for a number of reasons regarding the council members that would be elected. Tsar Stefan I was re-elected to a second consecutive term as the chairman on 31 January 2021 by the majority of the Council Members who were elected in the January 2021 Election. Connor Shaw v. The Council of the Micronational Assembly was a court case that took place on 20 February 2021 and was a countersuit to a case that was supposed to occur the same day. The declaration of suit against the council was as follows: "I am suing the Micronational Assembly for attempting to extra-judicially overrule and undermine the MA Charter by allowing a Justice to hold public office." The defendant consisted of Connor Shaw, supported by his lawyer Hunt Powell as a legal team. The prosecution consisted of Anthony I, representing the Council of the Micronational Assembly. The chairman was notably silent for most of the trial, which was pointed out by multiple delegates. A jury was selected from delegates in the Assembly to decide the verdict of the trial. Initially, the trial was disorganized and delayed as the illegitimate Attorney was absent until 30 minutes after the trial began. After both the defense and prosecution presented their evidence with some debate, the jury conferred and came to a decision. It was the decision of the jury that the council was breaking the charter, and subsequently, the Jewel Republic was stripped of powers as an attorney. The Herzetian delegacy was later appointed as Attorney by the chairman.
