- (I'm pasting this into the talk page of all the micronation category articles.)
I've just started a template for the micronation infobox, based on the Sealand box. I've also written usage guidelines on it's talk page. I'd like to please invite any interested people to go over its talk page to discuss the template itself, along with my guidelines. As a demo of the template, please see Lovely (micronation), which I just edited to use the template. --Billpg 23:05, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Flag over the UN
editDo we know who raised their flag over the UN building? --kingboyk 03:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm also curious whether the flag still flies and if not, when it was taken down? --kwc
- I am also curious whether this is the same James Thomas Mangan who authored a couple books that sold reasonably well for Prentice Hall, including "The Secret of Perfect Living?" -- kwc
- The brief report that I read strongly implied that the UN flag-raising was a one-off promotional stunt. There is no evidence of the flag being present after the TV cameras stopped filming. I don't know if Mangan was a also published author - it seems possible, as the name isn't too common. --Gene_poole 00:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I believe it's the same guy. - grant (talk) 20:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
celestia moon passport
editI have a passport to the moon issued by the Nation of Celestial Space and a letter from John Glenn to James Mangan thanking him for the passport. I can find no information about it. Does anyone know if there were any other passorts issued or have any other information?
Doesn't really qualify as a micronation...
editThe Nation of Celestial Space doesn't really qualify as a micronation. From the article micronation:
Micronations generally have a number of common features:
- They often assert that they wish to be widely recognized as sovereign states, but are not so recognized.
- They are small; those that claim to control physical territories are mostly of very limited extent. While several micronations claim hundreds or even thousands of members, the vast majority have no more than one or two active participants.
- Some issue government instruments such as passports, stamps, and currency, and confer titles and awards; these are rarely recognised outside of their own communities of interest.
The Nation of Celestial Space can hardly be described as "small" if its territory consists of the entire universe outside the Earth. 195.197.240.134 (talk) 13:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- Suggest you read the definition somewhat less selectively. It's an ephemeral statelike entity that never established bilateral relations with any other state of supranational entity despite aspiring to do so. Of course it's a micronation. --Gene_poole (talk) 01:12, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Flag description
edit"Hatch symbol" on its own doesn't convey much useful information... AnonMoos (talk)
- After a little googling, and looking closely at File:CelestiaCoin.jpg, replaced it with "sharp symbol". AnonMoos (talk) 10:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
