How could I ever possibly add substance, by way of insult, to the ignominy self-evident in a person who has a sig like that.

I would like to thank those self-righteous bastards in the thread above who think it constructive to drag all this out and wave it in the breeze. I sincerely hope that nobody reveals your in-confidence archives one day.

Citizenship is what the law says it is. I live in Australia. Population about 20 million, probably 19 million of those are citizens. How many of those 19 million are public figures? - perhaps 1000 names will make it to the newspapers in the course of a year, and that covers all politicians and other...

Yes, I used Photoshop. Took a bit of fiddling to get it right.

As a professional courtesy, I have created the following polar projections for the northern and southern hemispheres of Micras. Each map is shown with a 10x10 degree polar coordinate grid and the polar and tropical circles are also drawn in. The issue of the true shape of lands in the mid and high l...

I have always assumed that the comments in the legend: Earth Ratio 1.8 Micras Ratio 2 ... was to be read in the context of the line above, which tells us that the map is 3600px x 1800px. That is, on Micras the distance pole-to-pole is exactly half of the length of the equator, making Micras a perfec...

If you ever get more detail, then you will be luckier than I, who agitated for that in vain.

I remember that discussion. As I said at the time (and I have just looked back to verify what I said), if you drag continents backwards to their prior positions then you have to "undo" the geological events that have occurred during that time before you find how they looked when joined. Fo...

Where did your numbers come from, spangle? According to my reference sources, the diameter of the Earth is 12756km and hence its circumference (theoretical, at mean sea level) would be 40074.156km. Wikipedia, not necessarily an unimpeachable source, gives 12756.274 and 40075.016 - as if a precision ...

The posts could be anywhere. You can get a list of my posts in these forums easily enough, and the old MCS forum on MNN is still archived.

Well HELLOOO-OOO!!!! I'll accept apologies in this thread from those who snubbed me for pointing out this and similar problems in the past.

Outsider's comment: Should all of these be collected for a single vote? The abolition of #6 is a distinct issue, I would have thought.

or you could use the much simpler and more fictional approch of two different , but still close star systems, maybe about 4 light years, then you have several methods of interaction, pretending there is some wormhole type thing , or using some useful 1945 science that would allow you to reach the o...

1. Revise rules for being on two maps and reconcile the existance of the other map. Are they two planets? Or... what? maybe simply two planets in the same star system? I'm sure that has been discussed before. I know that I brought it up in the context of making Micras one half of a binary system wi...

Allow me to say, once again, that I have no hardline position against the continuation of the MCS or the right of people to choose. 1. All GSO nations must exist in the same general time frame... basically the early 20th century. There's a little more depth to it than that. Some of our members want ...

p.s. has anyone noticed gso's lack of map numbering or icecaps? What would you like to know? There is no distinction between "versions" of the GSO Map - the map is organic and is updated continuously, although no doubt we will institute some form of archiving (by date, not by versions). I...

ok, if we wish to moan about GSO, no matter what you feel it may have done, i think the best solution would be to complain about it on instant messengers or by e-mail, because if they come on here and see us moaning about them then they will get angry and may unlease more that we dislike. :D I do s...

If I may, I would like to clarify at this point that there is indeed no Rule of the GSO to prevent dual membership. Members of the GSO do have certain obligations, however, so it would be well for anyone considering dual membership to be certain that they can comply with the duties of membership of ...

Pursuant to Executive Order 2006-013 , I hereby advise that the Republic of Anthelia - 1. Resigns from the Micronational Cartography Society. 2. Relinquishes all claims to the territory presently assigned to it on the maps of the MCS. 3. Reserves the rights to any names of geographical features whic...

And just where was that map to be found on the internet? How is any nation to know? The map can be found in either of the 3 threads entitled something along the lines of alexandrian-matbaic expansions , surprisingly ... but nowhere amongst the Map Listings noted at the top of the General Discussion...

And just where was that map to be found on the internet? How is any nation to know?

My two zorkmids ... two Anthelians are from Australia, one is from Belgium and one from Canada. Other citizens, inactive or fully departed, have been from the UK (2), Croatia, New Zealand and Romania.

No, that is not my proposal. However, in the past it has been suggested that a second planet in the Atos system might be "colonised", and there have been threads concerning the habitable zone and so on. I merely wanted to articulate an idea which had not previously been suggested, that of ...

Bear with me on this. The Moon is to the Earth as 1/81 of the mass, and 1/50 of the volume, and 27% of the diameter. It orbits at 384000km and performs one orbit in 27.3 days. In spite of its relatively small mass, it exerts a significant gravitational influence on the Earth as evidenced by the tide...

Do we have to have the same debate every six months or so? Yes, Lovely has attracted a lot of interest. Yes, there are over 50000 people registered on its forums. No, Lovely does not have an adequate method of qualification for citizenship. When Lovely conducts a census, then an accurate number of c...
