All these maps were made with good old MS Paint. But the recent version does something crazy with the calibration of the pencil and so a switch to another drawing app became necessary. This became Paint.net. - Gustaaf Vermeylen, 2 August 2024.

Awards

A special thanks to those who have honoured me with the following awards:

• The Fnord 2024 is awarded to Çakaristan, this is the FNORD for History! Over the years, Gustaaf Vermeylen, the proprietor of Çakaristan, has published quite a few chronicles, which are looooong and very interesting, detailing the history of his rulers. The latest of which is the Xunpadshahannama: Rajas of the Sandstorm, which would have been grounds for disqualification if there was a limit on the amount of a’s in a title, but we found that rule was sorely lacking so all that remains is congratulating Gustaaf and appreciating his work.
• The Fnord 2022 for Literature is awarded to Arky, who has crafted captivating stories in a near desert of Micran literature.
• The Fnord 2022 for Diplomacy is awarded to Arky, who has effectively navigated the complexities of international relations, fostering peace and cooperation among nations and kept his dignity intact while doing it.
• The Fnord 2021 for Literature is awarded to Gustaaf for his industrious output over the past year.
• The Fnord 2020 for Best new micronation is awarded to Çakaristan.
• The Fnord 2018 for leadership: Gustaaf Vermeylen.
