The Principality of Sancratosia is a full member of the Grand Unified Micronational, and has been since the Quorum of delegates convened and voted on 2 October 2022^[a].

History

On 22 February 2022 (2022-02-22), following the acceptance by the Quorum of delegates of the Grand Unified Micronational and the proclamation of Sovereign Ordinance no 39, Sancratosia officially became an observer state.^[1] The observer status was only renewed once on 12 May 2022 (2022-05-12).^[2]

On 31 July 2022 (2022-07-31), the Quorum voted in favour of the provisional membership of Sancratosia, which was officialized by the proclamation of Sovereign Ordinance no 79.^[3] The vote was originally not scheduled and was put forward following a request by the delegation of the Uber-Essian Union. This allowed Sancratosia to accede to provisional membership before attending MicroCon 2022.

The vote for full membership occured on 2 October 2022 (2022-10-02)^[a] and the officialization happened in Sancratosia on 6 November 2022 (2022-11-06), more than a month after the vote due to an oversight by the Ministry of Foreign Relations.^[4]

On 9 October 2023 (2023-10-09), the Sancratosian delegation, through their main delegate, Princess Cloe, signed its first petition for a vote of no confidence in Vice Chairman James Bornstein, the latter resigning shortly after the petition was submitted to the Supreme Court of the Grand Unified Micronational.

Elections

In December 2022, Sancratosia voted in its first elections for the Chair of the Grand Unified Micronational. The Sancratosian delegation have announced its endorsement at every election since becoming a member. The delegation never did announce its second and third choices.
