Official Claim Message:
We, CHARLES I, by the Grace of God, of New Victoria, King and Defender of the Faith, do, on behalf of all the subjects our realm, lay claim to a portion of the lands on the planet Micras, for the legitimate establishment of our Kingdom. It pleases us to create, within the boundaries of our kingdom, a capital city and six provinces. The capital city, we dub Kingston, for it is where we reside. The six provinces shall be named after the first cities founded within them, and shall take the names Cambridge, Canterbury, Greenwich, Leicester, Portsmouth, and York. See the attached image for the exact details of our geographic claim (http://i46.tinypic.com/25ti3ch.jpg).
Notes:
-I spoke with the General Administrator last week about the issue of timing. Our website has just opened today, however our kingdom's official establishment took place on 15 July, 2012. To corroborate that, we do have the images of two email conversations from this past June and July. The first one (http://i46.tinypic.com/19uhk1.png) is from the end of June, when the first three founders [myself included] were brainstorming a bit. The second message (http://i47.tinypic.com/2429b1u.png), which I feel is far more important as evidence, is an online transcript of my coronation oath that I took on 17 July. In both of these emails, please pay attention to the time stamps of the original messages. [Just to clarify, a couple of names were blotted out of the picture, because one of the founders didn't want his last name or personal email address to appear in public. The time stamps and actual text remain unedited.]
-Our forum just opened today, and we are planning on starting a WikiPage soon as well. Because of this, there is not a lot of content, but we feel that there is enough to prove we're a sophisticated nation that's worthy of membership. By far, you will find the most detailed content Acts of Parliament section of the site. There you can find our Constitution, the Act of my Accession as King, and many other important and telling documents about our government and culture. You will notice that all the documents are dated as of this week, when the transcripts were uploaded, so please check the responses to them, which give you the dates they were ratified.
-If it is of any consequence, the Kingdom of New Victoria is somewhat based on the old English (pre-union, Tudor era/Circa 1530s) monarchy, although our system gives more power to the King in certain areas, whilst restraining him more in others. Formally, we recognize the government as being a limited monarchy, since it has both a constitution and a parliamentary body.
-The Kingdom's Motto is "Audax At Fidelis" (Latin: Bold Yet Faithful), and the personal motto of the Sovereign [i.e. me] is "Dieu et mon Droit" (French: God and my Right), which comes directly from the British monarchy. Our national anthem is also "God Save the King," although we have altered the lyrics a bit from the British Standard. Our Official Language is also English, although some members of Parliament are requesting that French be added.

Re: New Victoria claim
Really nice, courteous guys. Provided adequate evidence of their offline age, and have done some good work on their forum already. Pretty "standard" size for a new nation too, and with more details than some larger ones! Looking forward to seeing what they can produce as they have great potential. AYE...
Re: New Victoria claim
The Crait made some excellent points. This guy has gone over backwards to find out how we do things and then conform to what little rigidity existts, not how to play the system. He's a team player, and we need more of that.

Re: New Victoria claim
AYE for all the reasons.
