[edit] Republic of Whangamomona RIP

Last year you are a micronation...

• As a micronation

Now today User:JoshuaZ, User:JzG and User:Kingboyk have collectively decided to terminate Republic of Whangamomona's status as a Micronation.

• And so WikiAdmin 3 strikes and a micronation is expunged

I don't know what the tradition is when a micronations is expunged in wikipedia. I hope my simple signed condolence is sufficient to farewell this once (yearly) proud micronation:

[edit] My Condolences

• Farewell Whanga, though I never had a beer in your pub, you were in my subconcious.
  • (somewhere, on the other side of hobbits hole and down a loooong winding road)

[edit] Rumours of it's death are greatly exaggerated

It lives on, in the attached article, it just doesn't get undue weight. --kingboyk 12:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

The important issues are that Whangamomona:

• did declare it'self a republic,
• do issue 4000+ passport every year (I would guess more then the Vatican City)
• It's presidential elections are probably free-er and fairer then many countries in Africa.
• It regularly gets reported in the media and google, eg. just do a google on:
  • http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=Whangamomona+republic

Yet 3 satellite contributors expunge it's micronations status.

I do wonder what other micronations will be reviewed next?

As this is a wiki, possibly all of them. --kingboyk 13:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
