  • Delete oer above. Factual info should be included on the existing page. Mgm|(talk) 09:07, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Dont Delete. It seems like an article which had not yet been completed. We should give them more time as it looks pretty convincing. As it is a micronation it should be listed as such.

    • But it doesn't change the fact that Wikipedia is the only reference to this supposed entity. Are there no publications that discuss this entity? Bollar 13:16, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. claims citizenship is passed on through word-of mouth and chain mails; this explains no web-site.
  • Keep. I can verify the genuine aspirations of this micronation as i have received several e-mails from the "government" which discuss the issues concerned on the page. Fiestaduck
