Expansion of the Apollo Foundation

Post by Bill3000 »

I plan to expand the Apollo Foundation to be more than a copyright office for micronations. Here's my point plan for the organization of the Apollo Foundation.<br>

b. Micropatriological Research<br>
c. Micropathological Research<br>
<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>5. Archive Preservation Organization</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
<br>
Now, let me describe each part.<br>
<br>
1. This is the same as before, with one more addition. Heirship will be an expansion of the leasing by allowing a nation to be offically considered an heir. For instance, if Percy, founder of Somenation, a nation that had died and he had cosigned into the Apollo Foundation, joined Whatnation, he could realize, as with the rest of the population there, that Whatnation is reminded of the nostalogic days of Somenation. Rather than some controversal annexation of the previous nation as a memorial, Heirship allows a new nation to be blessed to be considered the successor of a previous micronation in the Apollo Foundation.<br>
<br>
2. This is a significant part of the new Apollo Foundation. I plan to have archives of many nations' cultures, including their fictional religions and fictional histories, as well as the explanation of customs. (How did MagiGARP come about? What's with those salt mines? etc.) Perhaps it would be possible to have an organization similar to SSHIT in Shireroth, in which there is an offical organization that could tie all fictional histories together. (By fictional histories I mean the writeups of timelines, rather than religious fictional history such as the creation of the world.) But the important aspect of this is the preservation of the culture and customs of previous micronations.<br>
<br>
3. Historical Preservation. Historical Documents include constitutions and old laws of the old nations, as well as different aspects of the old nations. Historical Summeries include the summaries by Scott Alexander and such - explanation of what happened in different eras in different micronations. This is rather straightforward.<br>
<br>
4. Critical Analysis. This is something that I believe should be worked on the most. It's one thing to archive history - it's another thing entirely to attempt to realize why we did it. This includes different essay as to what roles we would play in micronations, why we acted the way we did, as well as dos and don'ts in micronations. There is also micropathological/micropatriological research. Micropatriology is defined as the study of how to best simulate a real nation in micronationalism - basically, an organization based on the previous micropatriological research society. Micropathology, on the contrary, is the study of the nature of micronationalism and its causes, processes, development, and consquences. Basically, how do micronations come into being, how are they successful, why do they fall, et cetera. Overall I think this section has the most potential.<br>
<br>
5. Archive Preservation Organization. Another part of the Apollo Foundation, which was one of its purposes in its previous incarnation. Basically, as you can tell through the recent ezBoard attack and previous incidents, archives don't last forever. This organization would work to preserve the living archives of forums and webpages, whether it would be to saving or posting so that forum won't die, et cetera. This could probably be the organization with the most work because there are so many different historical archives. (part of which can be defined as inactive micronatrional forums.)<br>
<br>
As such, that is my plan or the expansion of the Apollo Foundation - it shall be more than a copyright office, but the preservation of everything we have in micronationalism. I hope that this organization will last for a long time, even after we are past our prime, so we can remember back on this hobby with clarity.
