Exactly one month ago today I stood before you and pledged to work tirelessly to right the wrongs of the previous administration.
I will be honest with you, I walked into a mess.
Our diplomatic standing in the micronational community was at an extreme low due to our part in the Pannonian War. The previous administration treated our nation as some side project to kill time.
He appointed his friends to government posts and failed to ratify any constitution or form any real governmental structure.
I've basically had to wipe the slate clean and rebuild the system from the ground up.
To signify our new beginning as a nation, I have ordered the South Maudlandia flag to be replaced with a more modern representation of our nation.
Much progress has been made this past month.
We have a seen a 27% increase in citizenship applications. Many from people whom have served in political posts for other nations, but have immigrated to help with the rebuilding process.
I am currently in the process of writing up a new temporary constitution that will be enacted very soon. It will remain in place until the 2018 elections when citizens will be given the the power to vote on what will be ratified.
On the diplomatic front, as I stated before, I have chosen to honor all of the previous administrations treaties. I have spoken with several leaders and will be proposing new treaties very soon.
With this in mind, I am proud to announce that South Maudlandia has joined the Intermicronational Alliance (IA) along with with the Kingdom of Adrina, Lipelistan, Empire of Sorority, Sree Gurusia, Kingdom of Fristehen, DeWaCo Estates, Daljam, Lorenzburg, Astres, Trislan and the Republic of Kallos.
I look forward to working with other world leaders as we move forward in this new era of micronationalism.
Liberland kicked open the door of public conscious, now it's up to us as a micronational community to carry the torch forward, right to the United Nations door.
Sincerely,
Jeff Renner
President of the
Republic of South Maudlandia
