My Micronational Work: Being a Peacekeeper

During my work as the Chairperson Ordinary of the State of Ariana (a realistic micronation founded by my friend), I had to deal with maintaining the professional dignity of our beloved micronation. It was not much of a big deal, since I had lots of free time this 2014 summer season. 

When a conflict occurred between my native micronation and its neighbor, the Daikoku Federation, I tried to get everything back on track. Even one of the leaders of the "enemy" told me, "I appreciate you efforts..." 


My efforts did bear fruit (thanks be to God), when the Sorrenian Micronation published a report praising the improvement of the Philippine sector of micronationalism - a report when they called me, much to my surprise, a peacemaker.

Honestly speaking, I joined micronationalism to get more friends. And I did. :) I've met a sizable number of Indonesian, American, and Croatian acquaintances. That's the fun part of acting as the ambassador of your micronation.

Curiously, I even established rapport with the opponent's Co-President Karlos Anioay after the conflict erupted, where we got to talk about plenty of stuff for weeks. Communications ended last Thursday (May 29, 2014) , when their government banned all forms of contact with us. Being a peacekeeper I am, I will respect their freedom of "non-expression". 


[Appendix: I'm still thinking of a possibility of meeting a nice girl through micronationalism, Filipino student preferably (to be able to meet in safe areas). ]
