About Us
THE EMPIRE
The Empire was founded on the eve of the 2020 US presidential election, by individuals who were tired of seeing the way our former country was going. We wanted to form a new strong Christ centered nation with a currency backed by precious metals, opposed to communism in all its forms and guises. A nation without a party system separating the people, and where a man or woman did not have to be born into the Nobility but could purchase their way into that class and do so in a real way in accordance with international law. The international law we speak of is the Montevideo convention which sets out eloquently the rights and duties of states and how a people can peacefully separate from their parent nation and become an Independent nation. Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution states all treaties the United States signs become supreme law of the land so if you follow everything in the Montevideo convention which the US signed you can become a free nation.Which we have done, meeting all criteria for Independence as set out in that convention and signed into International law with the US a signatory to the treaty. Since we are an Independent nation, it is our right to grant titles and establish a nobility, government, economy and currency.
Our National Identity
The Countries Tartan is Clan Buchanan modern set. Our national foods are Tacos, Greek, and Boudin balls. National movies are Fiddler on the Roof, Star Wars Episode IV, Casablanca ,and The Princess Bride. Our national sports are Fencing and Armored Combat. Country and Western, and mariachi are the national music.
Government
The branches of Government are the house of Nobilitas and the House of commons coupled with the Imperial Cabinet. The Imperial Cabinet is formed by the chief ministers of each ministry who are appointed by the Emperor. The house of Nobilitas is formed by all members of the Empires Nobility. The house of commons is comprised of one representative from each town in the Empire elected by the people and endorsed by the local noble.
The Nobilitas
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility is being superior to your former self" Hemingway We have a vibrant noble community comprised of men and women from all walks of life who have continued to endeavor on behalf of the Empires growth and culture. Nobility can be granted by the Imperial family for service to the Empire or through purchase from the Empire. All patents of Nobility are registered with the Imperial Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration; they are real, from a real country, as defined by international law. They are a great conversational piece raising awareness for our nation, and allowing you to become apart of a new family a new nation. We Have Dukes, Duchesses, Marquis, Marchionesses, Counts and Countesses, Barons and Baronesses, Lords and Ladies.
Our Goals
To gather together a like minded group of individuals and form a new nation aimed at more freedoms for our people with less laws (but more stringent penalties). To offer to men and women who have dreamed of Nobility a real way of achieving that, not with honorary titles but with true ones from our nation. to create a currency backed by precious metals. To settle our claimed territories. Which are all unclaimed lands (though there are overlapping claims on Bir Tawil by micronations) To have our consulates in foreign nations recognized. To have our currency in circulation and used by all our citizens. To have more businesses incorporate in the Empire (we do not release tax records or charge taxes on businesses just a one time filing fee and annual renewal fee). To create a fully self sustaining economy. To find new ways to develop that are environmentally friendly and from predominantly recycled materials. To build a strong Christian nation.
Projects
We are raising money for three separate projects at this time.
1) To send a diplomatic team to Bir Tawil. This is to treat with the nomads who travel from Egypt to Sudan and back through the area, also to survey our claims and see where to establish a permanent mission and locate drilling sites for Water wells.
2) Sending a scientific mission to our claims in Jennsland Antarctica. With the swift melting of icecaps it is imperative we send scientific mission to our claims in the region.
3) This is the Basileus's pet project, Creating habitable floating Islands off of the unclaimed islands in the gulf we claim and other locations. We have a proven design that has worked we will be using as soon as possible.
