Final Update from New Victoria
[There has been an unexpected turn of events in the New Victorian Parliament today. This bill was proposed by the Speaker of the House, who is rather tired of the online world and feels that it has ruined New Victoria. The other members of Parliament unilaterally agreed. As King, I thought not to stand in the way of their desired progress.]
The Offline Act (2013)
BE IT ENACTED by The King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Consent of the Commons, in this Present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
1. This act may be cited as "The Offline Act (2013)."
2. The Kingdom of New Victoria shall, from hence, be established as on offline realm, retaining no ties to the online world. There shall exist no official, government-condoned website or webpage representing this kingdom. All such websites in existence shall be destroyed with all haste.
3. All citizens of the Kingdom of New Victoria, who are unable to assemble with the Government, in the flesh, shall be hereby revoked of citizenship status. Such persons shall further be stripped of all titles, styles, and honors given to them by The King and/or His Government. Furthermore, all such persons are ordered to immediate withdraw from the Kingdom of New Victoria, as they have been declared personae non gratae.
4. All citizens of the Kingdom of New Victoria, who are able to meet with the Government in the flesh, shall be henceforth barred from becoming citizens of, or otherwise recognizing the sovereignty of, any online, micronational nation. Citizens who hold such citizenships will be given three days to publicly renounce them and, if they refuse to do so during that time, shall be arraigned for high treason.
5. The Government of the Kingdom of New Victoria shall henceforth recognize the sovereignty of no online or internet micronations. All ties, treaties, and allegiances with such micronations are hereby declared null and void. No diplomatic relations may hereafter exist between the Kingdom of New Victoria and online micronations.
6. The Government and citizens of the Kingdom of New Victoria shall hereafter recognize the author or the legitimacy of no online, micronational princes or other rulers. In the eyes of the New Victorian Government, their power shall be non-existent.
7. The Kingdom of New Victoria hereby renounces all of its ties with the Micronational Cartography Society and cedes all of its lands on Micras.
8. As The Nullification Act (2013) declares The Currency Act (2012) to be null and void, the Government withdraws its allegiance to the Standardized Currency and Unified Economy System.
9. All the declarations put forth in this act shall take effect immediately upon the Grant of Royal Assent from His Majesty The King. These stipulations shall be executed with all haste, as they are for the better maintaining of this Glorious Realm.
PARLIAMENTARY RATIFICATION:
6/6 Majority
-Signed:
Richard Thompson 19/1/13
Speaker of the House
GRANT OF ROYAL ASSENT:
Le Roy Le Veult!
Signed:

Re: Final Update from Nova England
To Whom It May Concern,
I, Charles Tudor, Governor of Nova England, do hereby state my irrevocable desire to renounce my Governorship on behalf of my self and all other members of my party who might think to succeed me. I make this decision due to recent legislation enacted within my own Kingdoms, which would forbid that I partake in such activities. Therefore, I am required by law to renounce my recognition of the sovereignty of both Nova England and, by such extension, of Mercury itself.
I further declare that, due to the enactment of The Offline Act (2013) by the New Victorian Parliament, all New Victorian citizens, who were once citizens of Nova England, have agreed to renounce their Nova English citizenship and any claim to Mercurian Citizenship they might have had. They have also agreed, of their own volition, to reject the sovereignty of Mercury and Nova England.
In token whereof, I dutifully sign my name in true and voluntary resolution.
Signed:
Charles The King

Re: Final Update from New Victoria
How ridiculously disappointing...

How about a re-vote on most promising micronation?

Re: Final Update from New Victoria
Well... It's surprising that they don't have a veto right there. Or maybe the King just felt that if they voted as one once, they wouldn't want to hear anything about re-thinking the decision.

Re: Final Update from New Victoria
I think the Batavian Post was right. This is not about the difficulties with the server, this seems to be a more personal issue. Why else would they declare the Micrans personae non gratae?

Re: Final Update from New Victoria
Although some here have hypothesized that I hold too much power in New Victoria, I act in accordance with my council and my parliament. If my people want something, as long as its within reason, I won't stand in the way. Personally though I enjoyed our online kingdom.pawelabrams wrote:Well...

UPDATE: I will try to convince them to nullify this act in today's session of Parliament.

We really did have server issues. The site was down for days. However will admit that this was surprising to me too.Erasmus wrote:I think the Batavian Post was right.

Re: Final Update from New Victoria
Well, the Batavian Post is my main source of information about Zeeburg, and that's like seeing another planet through a shit-covered lense. But the explanation for New Victoria's wide acceptance was down to a few factors - eloquence, majesty, and humility. Not coming in here and declaring yourself the awesomest, does actually make people like you more (humility). But that said, a promising sign for the seeds of a new nation sown is an understanding of government and a willingness for the leadership to become one of the partners in the intermicronational community (majesty). And it always helps if you can effectively put these qualities across (eloquence).Erasmus wrote:I think the Batavian Post was right.

Add to this, I think the Micran community is desperate for new, high-quality, disease-free type double O negative blood. Some believe dragging (all or parts of) the Dutch, German or Polish sectors into ours will solve this. Some say we should embrace the MicroWiki nations. Both strategies are being tested out via the natural inter-sector bleed that saw Jonas and Pawel find this community, and MicroWiki's long-time rivalry with us means that at least many of them know us (and look down on us). But I think many of us really just want some new nations to sprout up here. Home-grown, obviously no matter the language or format, but rooted firmly in this community and nowhere else. New Victoria looked like it might be such a nation.
Edit: And a point on the post count - the title of the award is 'promising' and attempts to point out a new nation and say, "We like what you're doing, and what you might do, so take this as encouragement from the sector." So a low post count, especially for a micronation that has offline roots, is only one piece of evidence.

THE REPEALING OF THE OFFLINE ACT (2013)
ATTENTION ALL,
In Our Parliament today, We repealed The Offline Act (2012) above. The act has been deemed unconstitutional. New Victoria and New France are officially as they were before. All online citizens of New Victoria shall continue to have their rights, and all members of the MCS (and Gotzborg) shall have their Sovereignty recognized by Our Government. Sorry for the disturbance.

Re: Final Update from New Victoria
My apologies for bothering you all yet again, but we've got another situation here in New Victoria:
As mentioned above, The Offline Act (2013) was declared null and void, by me, seeing as it is unconstitutional. This is true because it dictates how foreign affairs are to be conducted, and I am the sole authority on that. However, Parliament now unilaterally accuses me of interference and claims that, since Royal Assent was Granted by My Signature, any constitutional difficulties were resolved thereby. I am now accused on disregarding the Constitution which I took an oath to protect.
Therefore, Parliament has passed The Demise of the Crown Act (2013), declaring that a demise of the Crown has occurred and that, subsequently, my brother now reigns as George I of New Victoria. The Act of the Accession of Charles I (2012), as well as the Constitution, specifically state that Parliament has no power to remove a King from office. However, unsurprisingly, my brother has granted Royal Assent to The Demise of the Crown Act (2013), making it appear legal to most citizens.
As my reign has been illegally terminated, and my brother has usurped my throne, I am somewhat powerless here. My brother has declared that The Offline Act (2013) is, and has always been, legal and valid. He plans to address you all from this account sometime tomorrow I think, so you'll get the details then I suppose. He means to make no alliances though - he has reinstated Archbishop Warham, who is already preaching against the idea of an online state.
George I has officially laid claim to Nova England as well, which he dubbed "New England". The King has also declared through Royal Decree, that he and his successors shall have a new title:
"His Majesty, GEORGE I, by the Grace of God, of the Kingdoms of New Victoria, New France, and New England, King and Defender of the Faith, and of the New Victorian Church, Supreme Governor"
Finally, His Majesty has seen fit to order to the destruction of the New Victorian website, which will occur tomorrow at some point. It is my assumption that he will address you all thereafter. So, unless the Council accepts that I the legitimate King of New Victoria, you will be forced to allow the nation to secede from Micras altogether.
