The threat of war

[raven]

Pedar and I are now both tired of the threat of war, and have come up with our own solution to the combined problem of Tony Blair and George Bush.

We're going to declare our own country.

Now, be good and listen. It is not as ridiculous as it sounds. We own the land the house stands on and a rather large area around it. There are already fences and walls in place. What's to stop us from declaring them offical boundaries with check points? No-one is to be allowed in without a passport check, and people will be forced to declare their politics upon entrance. All Conservatives, Republicans, and fascist dictators will be turned away.

Tomorrow, we plan to storm Formby Town Hall and threaten to rip the gardenias from their flowerbeds if they refuse to allow us to secede from the metropolitan borough of Sefton. We demand offical recognition by the international community and would like it placed upon record that we are against war.

Tomorrow.

Cool. Can you make me a citizen and give me ambassdorial powers? Then my flat becomes part of your country. (It's a first-floor flat, and I don't own the land the block of flats sits on - I don't even know who my feudal overlord is.)

Ahem. *clears throat*
I, Iona, also known as Raven, elected ruler of the Democracy of Noname, hereby declare yonmei a citizen of the aforementioned Democracy, and in doing so, I grant yonmei ambassadorial powers, so she may further our cause in countries less enlightened than we.
*salutes* Noli illegitimi carcorundum!

There you go!

Excellent! Thank you. I shall declare my new citizenship on my User Info page.
