FedCom
 
Are you tired of trying to cut through the red tape in your government? Exhausted from fighting an entrenched and corrupt bureaucracy that seems to be biased against you? In disagreement with ridiculous laws in your home country? Upset over being fed lies by your government? Sick and tired of taxes on top of taxes? Angry over being fed unrelenting propaganda that you do not agree with in the first place? Worried about new laws that intend to strip you of your privacy and reduce you to just a number? Frustrated over a lack of choices in your nation's limited political parties? Disgusted by "political correctness" and the rewriting of history to reflect this idea?

Do you want to feel like you finally fit in somewhere? Do you want to feel like you matter as a person? Do you want to live someplace where you are measured by your contributions and abilities, rather than by your wealth or family/political connections?

Then perhaps the Federated Commonwealth is the right place for you! This micronation is on the verge of establishing a permanent settlement and attaining sovereign status, but first we would like to extend a warm welcome to as many people as we can. We have a place for everybody: all you need to do is to be willing to listen and learn.

Simply put, we are seeking individuals of strong character, who would be willing to abandon their home country and start fresh in a new land.
Additional information can be found on our website and forum. Everyone is invited to register and join our forum community.

Applications for foreign-citizenship will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis. No purchase is necessary. To receive the full benefits of citizenship, prospective citizens will be expected to move to FedCom home territory when such territory has been acquired; you will be notified when this occurs. The Government of FedCom reserves the right to accept or reject any application, with or without explanation. FedCom citizenship is not recognized by other nations, so you do not automatically receive diplomatic immunity. The Government of FedCom cannot be held responsible for your actions while you are visiting/living in any country that does not recognize FedCom as a sovereign nation.

jinx 09-06-2007 09:36 PM

Aw damn, I totally would have gone for this - but I just gave all my money to Prince Lazarus Long so I can be a become a citizen of New Utopia.... so close....

Undertoad 09-06-2007 09:44 PM

I blew my life savings on Oceania!

Terminator_484 09-06-2007 09:56 PM

Nobody is asking for your money. Where did you get that idea from?

Cloud 09-06-2007 11:43 PM

no.

ETA: Excuse me. I mean no, thank you.

lumberjim 09-07-2007 12:44 AM

has this EVER worked?


oh, and your new user title? Banned

With 6 males between the ages of 14 and 64 and 1 female over age 65, you will probably have some population growth issues.

Among other things.

You lost us somewhere between the Supreme Dictator for Life with a Secret Will Naming his Successor and Burning the Whisky.

DucksNuts 09-07-2007 04:10 AM

Thats for that synopsis Wolf. I couldnt be fagged reading the whole bloody kit n caboodle, but gathered it wasnt really my thing.

Thats a big NO from me too.

Flint 09-07-2007 01:54 PM

I'm interested in hearing more about this. It sounds like a good idea. :::snicker:::

Or not.

What do you care anyway? It is not like it is offensive or anything; just a fact.

toranokaze 10-21-2007 08:50 PM

More like the Hutt River thing.
FedCom just wants sovereign status. Nothing more, and nothing less.

TheMercenary 11-09-2007 07:58 PM

Fantasy play, and imaginary friends and countries, are an important part of any childs development.

Terminator_484 11-09-2007 09:07 PM

FedCom is no more a fantasy than Taiwan or Tibet, and no less real than any other nation on Earth. Just because the UN chooses not to officially "recognize" a nation, does not mean that such a nation is fake.

FedCom is real, our citizens are real, our government is real, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a moron.

Is it so hard to imagine starting a new country? Every nation currently on the map started in exactly the same way. FedCom is no different, and neither is any other aspirant state.

Flint 11-09-2007 09:08 PM

That is a delightful post and I agree with you and you're right about all that stuff.

Terminator_484 11-09-2007 09:10 PM

Ah, typo. Fixed.

Who is "skysidhe"?

Flint 11-09-2007 09:11 PM

What are you taking about?

Terminator_484 11-09-2007 09:14 PM

No. What are you taking about?

Flint 11-09-2007 09:21 PM

Stop copy-catting me.

Terminator_484 11-09-2007 09:29 PM

I am not copying you.

If I had any such desire to do so, I would. However, you have given me no such reason to even consider copying anything you do.

Flint 11-09-2007 09:46 PM

Okay, crazy-pants. You're the one coming out of left field and going apeshit on me for no readily apparent reason. . . . :::backs away slowly:::

Clodfobble 11-09-2007 10:01 PM

I just had a crazy thought, and I'm slowly becoming more convinced of it.

Is Terminator_484 a sock-puppet of Radar's?

lumberjim 11-09-2007 10:10 PM

i wish i had the ability to view ip's....we're constantly suspecting people of being sockpuppets

Clodfobble 11-09-2007 10:51 PM

Yabbut, seriously?

Tell me that's not a perfect imitation of Radar's rhetoric! And of course the topic is right up his alley.

Meanwhile, their posting times have been strongly correlated since Terminator joined. See all of Terminator's posting dates below:


Sept. 6th - Terminator posts intermittently from 8:43 to 10:22, with one random post from Radar in the middle at 9:34. Radar was previously on at 10:54 that morning, and other than that has not posted for two days prior, or four days after.

Sept. 22nd - Terminator posts at 7:07, then Radar gets on for his first post of several at 7:13.

Nov. 9th - Radar is on intermittently throughout the day, with a dense string of posts from 7:15 to 7:38. Then Terminator then starts posting at 7:41.


At this point, I'd bet cash money on it.


EDIT: Which is not to say I care, or want some sort of result if it turns out I'm right. (I do think it would be telling that even batshit-gungho-Libertarian Radar wouldn't want to admit to being a FedCom shill in front of us, but that's just amusing more than anything.) I'm just proud of my sleuthing, and couldn't help sharing, is all.

lumberjim 11-09-2007 10:56 PM

i'd bet you $5 just to find out the answer. : proffers hand:

Clodfobble 11-09-2007 10:59 PM

Done. *shakes*

But I don't think UT will feel obligated to check just because there's money on the line. :)

Ibby 11-09-2007 11:00 PM

No, the 'laws' of their fairy-land are way too fascist for Radar to advertise. Smoking a cigarette will get you three years in a hard labour camp there. That is total bullshit.

lumberjim 11-09-2007 11:00 PM

pah.

we'll know withing the hour

Undertoad 11-10-2007 12:39 PM

Sorry I was asleep. The IPs are quite different.

lumberjim 11-10-2007 01:19 PM

ha!
$5 to me!

lumberjim 11-10-2007 01:30 PM

i'd like to donate my winnings to the tip mug.

Wow, sounds like a blast. Can't wait to pack and and leave. :jagoff:

Actually, it gets worse, somehow.

Only standing FedCom military forces may carry out the punishment for Bandits.

Bandits are simply to be executed on sight. Wherever possible, they shall be used as a training medium for new FedCom warriors.

Fuck trials, remember that Judge Dread movie? Let's just do that, guys. Fucking morons.

In 1993, FedCom began its formation as a mere club of school friends. By the turn of the century, it had evolved into a full-fledged and bold plan for the future. By 2001, the seeds of the current government had been laid, and the military was established. By 2002, the government evolved into a meritocracy, utilizing a caste-based system to organize its citizens and streamline the efficiency of the small society. Currently, official laws are being written, government positions are being filled, and the government is looking for suitable land to claim.

I guess I shouldn't be so harsh. This is probably just a really long term Dungeons and Dragons campaign. C'est la vie, I guess.

fargon 11-10-2007 03:37 PM
