In an odd move for a fictional entity, Violette Clingersmith has now made it possible for the average person to become a "citizen" of Sunþrawegaz. The Lego-based micronation is allowing people to fill out an application form and be rewarded with a Lego minifigure with that individual's name and likeness to physically exist in the brick-built landscape of Sunþrawegaz.
Anybody is allowed to fill out this application form, which is provided below. Aside from requiring a name of some kind and a photograph of yourself (or, as the form states "what you wished you looked like"), applicants get to choose a specific cultural group that populate the world of Qarna, where Sunþrawegaz is based, as well as independently choosing up to five career options, which Clingersmith will then narrow down to one. All applicants will eventually receive a copy of their plastic Sunþrawegaz representative, and may be consulted in the future for their minifigure's home decor. They will also receive a Lego-brick built flag of Sunþrawegaz with the title "Honorary Citizen." You can find the application here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf3gADUMMYFQu0Q8Tjd1Kmx3g4N4RmxeRfzj8YDjHncxqORNQ/viewform

The micronation of Sunþrawegaz, after just 10 days since it was first created, has shifted all of its major goals. Before it was a Proto-Germanic cultural state with plans to settle the Kerguelens and other southern Indian Ocean islands. But as of today, Kuningǭ Beulēt I announced plans to make Sunþrawegaz a "Sabia and Verona, but with LEGOs."
Beulēt I has always been a fan of LEGOs, and she has been a founding member of the multinational LEGO build team "Backstreet Bricksters" since 2014. According to Beulēt I: "I first got into LEGOs as an adult when I saw work by Japanese model maker, Kai Abe. He had made a LEGO model of the Soviet Mars 3 spacecraft, at a time when I was looking through NASA images trying to find its brother, Mars 6. Since then me and Kai, together with about a half dozen other AFOLs, have worked on various projects together, including winning second place for the technology category at a contest in Chicago for our working LEGO radio, which used metalized bricks instead of wires. So, what will this new Sunþrawegaz look like? Beulēt I has stated that one of her favorite locations and time eras is Mesopotamia between the founding of Christianity and Islam, a time when Rome and Persia both fought over access to the Tigris and Euphrates. During this time, cities in this region were already built upon 10,000 years of civilization, and became a way station for Chinese, Indian, Persian, Roman and African merchants. This was the first time in history that all of these groups came together and exchanged ideas, and it is this place and time that the new Sunþrawegaz will be based off of. This new revision of the micronation will still be known as Sunþrawegaz, and will still fly its current flag, mainly because Beulēt I likes them both. "This will be a micronation that will take many years to come to fruition," says Beulēt I. "But, I think when it is complete, it will serve as an example of the incredible versatility of micronationalism." Sunþrawegaz Kuningadōmas is the latest micronational project founded by the eccentric former president of the Republic of Drew Star Line, Suzuki Clingersmith. Sunþrawegaz, which is pronounced "soon-thrah-way-ghaz," was created last Wednesday, and it has already made a big splash within the micronational community. Sunþrawegaz is what Clingersmith calls a "cultural country," and has made plans to create a Proto-Germanic inspired nation amongst several island in the southern Indian Ocean and parts of Antarctica.
Sunþrawegaz has made bilateral recognition pacts with the Empire of Nedlando-Khorașan,the Kingdom of Jupiter, the Republic of Drew Star Line, the Imperial Federation of Zenrax, and the Socialist Commonwealth of Uskor, and is hoping to increase that number to 15 foreign relations by the end of this week. As part of the current relationship with Nedlando-Khorașan, Clingersmith has partnered up with Ned Greiner to host a Micronational Flag Contest in September, with auditions currently underway now, and can be entered by following this link: micronations.wiki/wiki/User:DNSgov/Nedland-Sun%C3%BErawegaz_Flag_Contest Earlier today, Clingersmith (who's official title in Sunþrawegaz is Kuningǭ Beulēt I) signed the Treaty of Universal Peace, officially making Sunþrawegaz a member of the Union Against Micronational Warfare. She stated that her reasoning behind the move was because she is a pacifist when it comes to macronational conflict, so it would only make sense for her to be against micronational conflict. This was also done because Clingersmith does not want to re-witness the chemical warfare of the 2010 Rice Lane War (for which she led the victorious party), as well as a counter to what she feels is a growing threat from the Popular Union of Occitania. Occitania's leader, President Babou Chkaya, has publicly condemned Sunþrawegaz for claiming the Kerguelen Islands of France, and has labeled Clingersmith as a "defiant disturber of public order" for refusing to renounce her micronation's land claims. |
