2020 Christmas Report

Today marks the sixth Christmas the Great Lawl Reich has celebrated. The Tsar of the Great Lawl Reich wishes every a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This Christmas Report will report the events from the Great Lawl Reich and the Micronational Assembly that had not been reported yet.

News from the Great Lawl Reich:

On September 30th, 2020, the Great Lawl Reich held its third elections for Prime Minister. Tsar Stefan I was the only candidate for Prime Minister, which he ran as Independent. Only the Tsar himself voted and won the election, gaining two votes.

The Great Lawl Reich made new expansions in Rhode Island, gaining a Protectorate and a Dependency.

The Protectorate the Great Lawl Reich gained is called the Csardom of Aquariana. The Csardom of Aquariana was established on December 7th, 2019 in Rhode Island as the Queendom of Aquariana by Queen Gia I when she joined the Micronational Assembly. Jaime III, then known as Kevin II, President of the United Ocean States, served as Prime Minister of Aquariana from February 20th, 2020 to April 5th, 2020. Tsar Stefan I became a citizen on February 20th, 2020. The Tsar offered Aquariana to become a Protectorate of the Great Lawl Reich, to which the Queen of Aquariana unofficially agreed to on March 17th. Aquariana soon became inactive and left the Micronational Assembly on June 12th, 2020. On September 2nd, 2020, Queen Gia I dissolved the Queendom of Aquariana. Despite dissolving Aquariana, the Great Lawl Reich refused to recognize the dissolution, citing the lack of an announcement of dissolution and that the Great Lawl Reich never gave approval. Tsar Stefan I unofficially used the title of Regent of Aquariana  from September 2nd, 2020 to December 7th, 2020. On December 7th 2020, the first anniversary of Aquarian Independence, Tsar Stefan I officially dissolved the Queendom of Aquariana and replacing it with the Csardom of Aquariana, with himself as Csar. Tsar Stefan I relinquished all territories that the Queendom of Aquariana had, temporary turning Aquariana territory-less, as well of revoking Queen Gia I's citizenship. The Csardom of Aquariana was made into an official Protectorate of the Great Lawl Reich. The Monarch of Aquariana was granted the rank of Caesar. The Csardom of Aquariana would be territory-less until December 20th, where it was granted joint-sovereignty with the Aleunnic Czardom over the Aleunnic-Aquarian Condominium.

The Dependency the Great Lawl Reich gained is called the Aleunnic Czardom. The Aleunnic Empire was established (presumably) on September 16th, 2020 in Rhode Island by King Saxen I. The name Aleunnic was inspired from Roman-era Germanic tribes, possibly deriving from the Alemanni and Hunnic tribes. The Aleunnic Empire declared war on the nations of the Tungsten Pact, which one of the allies of the Great Lawl Reich, Natlin, was apart of, thus placing the Great Lawl Reich in a de-facto war with the the Aleunnic Empire. Despite declaring war on an ally, the Great Lawl Reich never declared war on the Aleunnic Empire. On October 27th, 2020, Wohlstand Vereinigung, led by Hunt P., invaded and occupied the Aleunnic Empire. The Aleunnic Empire surrendered and dissolved on the following day. On November 18th, 2020, the Aleunnic Empire was partitioned by Wohlstand Vereinigung, the Great Lawl Reich, the Reunited Ocean States, and the Empire of Kapreburg. On December 20th, 2020, the Aleunnic Czardom was established as a Dependency of the Great Lawl Reich and the successor state of the Aleunnic Empire, with Tsar Stefan I as its Czar. The territory of the Aleunnic Czardom consists of the land the Great Lawl Reich annexed from the partition. Tsar Stefan I granted the right for the Aleunnic Czardom to reincorporate the territories of the other partitioned lands if they dissolve. The Aleunnic Czardom also granted the Csardom of Aquariana a Condominium, called the Aleunnic-Aquarian Condominium. The Aleunnic Czardom and the Csardom of Aquarianahold joint-sovereignty over the Aleunnic-Aquarian Condominium, with the former being able to dissolve and reincorporate the Condominium at any time. With the establishment of the Aleunnic Czardom, the Tsar of the Great Lawl Reich uses all four spellings of Tsar for his titles, potentially being the first Micronationalist to do so.

News from the Micronational Assembly:

On September 21st, 2020, Tsar Stefan I was removed as Councilman due to decreasing activity. Although The Tsar was becoming less active, he believed that he should have resigned rather than being removed. After his removal, elections were held for Councilman on the September 24th, 2020. The results were:

Regent Connor of the Kingdom of Jehovah - 6 votes

Emperor Anthony I of Saspearian - 4 votes

Pexto Anglacia - 3 votes

Espère - 3 votes

Robert B. Williams IV of Williamsburg - 3 votes

 

Regent Connor of the Kingdom of Jehovah was elected as the new Councilman on September 25th.

On November 13th, 2020, King Randy I of Pacifica resigned as Councilman and withdrew from Micronationalism. Elections for Councilman was held on the same day, and Robert B. Williams IV was elected Councilman on the following day. On November 19th, 2020, both the Councilmen for the Kingdom of Jehovah and Natlin resigned due to their Micronations uniting with Faltree into the Federal Republic of Vulhalin. Elections for Councilmen were held the same day as their resignations. The results were:

 

Emperor Anthony I of Saspearian - 4 votes

Tsar Stefan I of the Great Lawl Reich - 4 votes

King Jackson I of Kapreburg - 3 votes

Both Emperor Anthony I and Tsar Stefan I were elected as the new Councilmen on November 20th.

On November 28th, 2020, Chairman Hunt P. of Faltree removed Emperor Anthony I as Councilman and replaced him with Caliph Asher of Herzetia. This move angered the Delegates of the Micronational Assembly, calling the move undemocratic and called for Hunt P.'s removal as Chairman. Hunt P. resigned as Chairman and Councilman and deleted the Micronational Assembly Discord server as a parting gift. Emperor Anthony I then recreated the Micronational Assembly Discord server. Tsar Stefan I took this opportunity to have himself elected Chairman of the Micronational Assembly, with approval of the other Councilmen. He received the votes from all the Councilmen to become Chairman. On the same day, both Robert B. Williams IV and Caliph Asher resigned as Councilmen. Tsar Stefan I decided to reinstate Emperor Anthony I and appointed King Jackson I as Councilman. Soon, King Jackson I resigned on the same day, becoming the shortest serving Councilman the Micronational Assembly ever had. Elections were held on the same day. The results from the elections:

Robert B. Williams IV of Norcross - 3 votes

Prince Matthew of Runnymede - 2 votes

Lucas I of Mensa Ann - 0 votes

 

Robert B. Williams IV was elected as the new Councilman on November 30th. 

 

On November 29th, 2020, The Grand Republic of Cycoldia denounced the Micronational Assembly, which the news of the denouncement reached the Micronational Assembly on the following day. In the denouncement, it states:

• The Micronational Assembly discriminates against those whom they disagree with (never stated which of the member states that conducted such inappropriate behaviour, other than Ausveria).
• Cycoldia shall cease all relations with Micronations that are part of the Micronational Assembly, as well of Micronations that have members of their government that hold duel citizenship with Member States.

When the news of the denouncement was received, some of the Member States did not like it. Regent Connor consider the move to be "ignorant" as Cycoldia is punishing the whole Assembly for the actions of a few. Prince Matthew stated that it was "bit rude for a denouncement without evening knowing us".

 

The Chairman, along with the Current Council, had made a few points on the denouncement:

• When the denouncement was made, it was already dated, considering that the Members (presumably) accused, Natlin and Faltree, left, with Faltree leaving the same day Hunt P. resigned.
• Although the previous Chairman had expelled people for certain beliefs, the Micronational Assembly is now more open.
• Ausveria became less active, and did not repeat the same thing they were accused of.
• The previous Chairman did not care about the Micronational Assembly and damaged its image without care.
• Faltree had established an oligarchy under his Chairmanship, turning the Council into his personal dictatorship.
  
• The Council have denounced the inappropriate actions of the previous Chairman and Member States, and hereby apologize.
  
• The diplomatic sanctions against the Micronational Assembly is extreme, as it is punishing the whole Assembly for the actions of a few.

The Council of the Micronational Assembly would like for Cycoldia to accept our apology and to repeal the denouncement of the Micronational Assembly.

Minor news:

Tsar Stefan I was granted citizen of the Principality of Runnymede by the Prince.
