	Every event is the convergence of an infinite past and an infinite future, and some threads can lead further, and in far stranger directions, than one would ever suppose. Jason Steffke, Prefect of Foreign Affairs at this time, was, in his own words, an empath – one who had an ability to work with and understand others bordering on and perhaps crossing the border to the paranormal. In an effort to increase understanding of him, his unique talent, and his life, as well as of the events leading up to the foundation of the Flying Islands of Jasonia, he wrote a seemingly innocent abridged autobiography in which he described some portions of his career. [[William Jesmer]] was at the time head of MISSION, the laughably bad Menelmacari secret intelligence service that everyone knew about. Jesmer wondered if perhaps if Jason really had psionic skills, they could be turned to good (read: evil) use. He knew of some good psionic sites on the Internet and contacted the administrator of one, asking him to come take a look.		Every event is the convergence of an infinite past and an infinite future, and some threads can lead further, and in far stranger directions, than one would ever suppose.

[[William Jesmer]] was at the time head of MISSION, the laughably bad Menelmacari secret intelligence service that everyone knew about. Jesmer wondered if perhaps if Jason really had psionic skills, they could be turned to good (read: evil) use. He knew of some good psionic sites on the Internet and contacted the administrator of one, asking him to come take a look.

	The administrator came, and although not particularly impressed by the story, was highly interested in micronationalism. He contacted Scott Alexander asking him what it was about, and receiving one or two answers, immediately got an intuitive grasp of the whole thing and immigrated to Menelmacar under the login Archetype23. He mentioned to Sirithil that he was a psion and might be very useful in intelligence or military related operations. A plan to put him under Jesmer in MISSION somehow morphed into a plan to put him above Jesmer in MISSION, and he became head of Menelmacari intelligence for a brief span until the organization was dissolved (or so they tell us historians). He also became, due to his interest in and talent with the law, the Prefect of Justice, and became a strong presence in the secret discussions constantly going on in Area 52 as well as in the Menelmacari government as a whole. One thing he did not do was reveal his psionic talent or his psionics site – he felt micronationalists visiting his site could be problematic, and was not too anxious to let potential enemies know of his “secret weapon” either, especially since they already mocked Menelmacar for living too much in a fantasy world. Nevertheless, it soon became obvious even for more prosaic reasons that he was the new person to watch.

	However, a number of people just started to plain not like him. Most vehement of these was the very person he had entered micronationalism to help – Jason Steffke. Where Jason went, of course, Bill followed, and since neither Bill nor Archetype is very good at being diplomatic or keeping a lid on their tempers, this soon fueled itself into a very, very strong antipathy. Somehow Erik Mortis also got himself on Archetype’s bad list. Philip Locke decided Archetype was crazy early on because of his belief that he was a psion, and told him so to his face – which soon degenerated into hostility there to. And despite Archetype’s mentoring of William Jesmer, some micronational disagreements drove a wedge between them as well. On the other hand, Orion and him got along pretty well, as did, surprisingly, new immigrant from the “Corporate Republic” of Cranda Robert Belci. Fax Celestis of Shireroth worked well with him also. Strangely enough, though, a number of non-Menelmacari and him got along very well. Abbas Namvari, who is otherwise an outstandingly sane and rational person, somehow gets along with him, as does Atteran Liam Sinclair despite his unfortunate and bigoted undying hatred for all Canucks.

	In a micronational world that has seen enough bizarre pseudo-religions to make a Scientologist blush – from [[Yuri V. Andropov ]]being at the ontological foundation of human existence to [[stodlum]] being the agent on Earth of gods whose archenemy is a demonic Thomas Hubert, to...well...Soloralism, [[Archetype]] once again took the insanity-related cake with the foundation of his new faith, the Path of Yellow. The Path of Yellow, which length-conscious Menelmacari quickly began calling [[Yellowism]], worships as deity a telepathic banana, has as its highest commandment insanity, and somehow grants sheep a special relationship with their fruity deity. Originally developed on Archetype’s psionics site, its importation to the micronational world was at first something of a disappointment, with few micronationalists in the Soloralist stronghold of Menelmacar being willing to convert. However, at this same time (early October) Archetype was building his own nation, the Collective Unconscious, out of people he had recruited from among his friends and students in psionics. Quickly becoming a center for micronational Yellowism, it managed to develop the faith until it attracted some “mainstreamers” like Abbas and Sander. However, Archetype soon chose to temporarily inactivate the Collective Unconscious until he had time to rework it and give it more attention. Yellowism, and his high position in Menelmacari society, remained.		In a micronational world that has seen enough bizarre pseudo-religions to make a Scientologist blush – from [[Yuri V.

	It was only a few weeks after Archetype joined that the attacks came. There had been three or four instances of terrorist attacks scattered over about a month before the fateful day of October 11, but they had all been minor, amateur, and easy enough to clean up that they were not worth making a fuss about.

	The contest in the Elentari elections was evident to everyone before they had even begun. Sirithil and Archetype. The two would finally face off in an ultimate battle to determine the fate of the country. The stakes were to be about as high as they come, and everyone knew it. No one seemed to really be considering the fact that a victory by either party would, almost certainly, completely alienate half the nation, or if they did consider it, they considered that half a bunch of worthless scum who wasn’t worth having around anyway.

	Well, maybe one person considered it. Poor Caesar Augustus, who had returned to micronationalism from a long absence a month or two before and who was now a respected Menelmacari jurist, decided to run on a “third-party” ticket. Although in retrospect voting for him could have solved a lot of difficulties, he unfortunately was relegated to the role of the clueless African explorer in the middle of two herds of wildebeests stampeding right into one another.

	There was a admirable if rather half-hearted attempt by the two candidates not to have the election degenerate into a crazy hatefest, but some of their supporters, like Bill and Robert, took the responsibility themselves, and finally the candidates decided eh, what the heck, let’s make it a crazy hatefest. So they did.

	On December 22, 2002, Archetype23 was officially inaugurated as the second Elenaran of Menelmacar. In turning over power, Sirithil told him “Arch, frankly, it was the dirtiest, most mudslingingest election I've ever seen. But you did win. So... don't take Menelmacar too far from what I would have wanted. I'm sure you'll do just fine.”		On December 22, 2002, Archetype23 was officially inaugurated as the second Elenaran of Menelmacar.

	For better or worse, the thread of history that is the Imperium had divided into two filaments, leading out into the future further than any eye can see, into far different directions. But some virtues the Menelmacari did have – transcending feuds, factions, parties, and even Schisms – were dedication, patriotism, imagination, and stubbornness and contributed to their great influence on the Micran Sector of the time. However Menelmacar, like so many other micronations, did not survive the final breakup of the Apollo Foundation and decline of the [[Apollo Sector]] and by late 2004 was defunct.
