Small States & Territories, Vol. 2, No. 2, 2019, pp. 183-194 Oecusse and the Sultanate of Occussi-Ambeno: Pranksterism, misrepresentation and micronationality Philip Hayward School of Communications University of Technology Sydney Australia [email protected] Abstract: Occussi-Ambeno, a fictional sultanate initially conceived by Aotearoan/New Zealander anarchist artist Bruce Grenville in 1968 and represented and developed by him and others over the last fifty years, is notable as both an early example of a virtual micronation (i.e. a type that does not attempt to enact itself within the physical territory it claims) and as an entity affixed to an entire pre-existent territory (in the case of the Sultanate of Occussi- Ambeno, that of Oecusse on the north-west coast of the island of Timor). The latter aspect is pertinent in that however imaginary the micronation is, its association with a region of a small state raises questions concerning the ethics of (mis)representation. This is particularly pertinent in the case of Oecusse, which was occupied by Indonesian forces in 1975 and had its distinct identity subsumed within the Indonesian state until Timor-Leste (and Oecusse as its exclave) successfully gained independence in 2002. Discussions in the article compare the anarcho- pranksterist impulse behind the creation of the Sultanate of Occussi-Ambeno and its manifestation in visual media – primarily through the design and production of ‘artistamps’ (faux postage stamps) – to related economic and socio-political contexts. Keywords: artistamps, Indonesia, micronation, misrepresentation, Occussi-Ambeno, Oecusse, Portugal, Timor, Timor Leste © 2019 – Islands and Small States Institute, University of Malta, Malta. -

Birtokjog Nyilvántartásáról a SZENTKORONA JOGRENDJE SZERINT
ŐFELSÉGE A SZENTKORONA A FÖLD KORONÁJA BIZTOSÍTJA AZ EMBER SZABADSÁGÁT (Nick Nordan usa1978) Szentkorona Országa Magyar Királyság Magyar Királyi Koronatanács Iktatószám: MKK19/11/028 MKK19/11/028 számú rendelet A SZENTKORONA Föld és Birtokjog nyilvántartásáról A SZENTKORONA JOGRENDJE SZERINT I.cikk Előbeszéd A Földet a Teremtő alkotta meg, ezért a tulajdonjog Őt illeti. Köztudott, ezért bizonyítani nem kell: a Teremtő női princípiuma, az anyagi világ megteremtője – szülője, kinek földi megtestesítője a SZENTKORONA. Az égi és földi létezők között született egyezségben minden létező a teremtőjének a tulajdona. Az ember és közösségei a Föld területéből tulajdont nem, kizárólag birtokot szerezhet, a természetes vizek területére birtokjog nem igényelhető. A földek és vizek tulajdonosát a SZENTKORONA képviseli, a Magyar Királyi Koronatanács által. Minden érték, ami a földben, a föld alatt és a föld felett van, a birtokost szolgálja. A birtokosok által vitatott területek visszatérnek a SZENTKORONA tulajdonába. A Szentkorona Országai által birtokolt terület a SZENTKORONA Föld és Birtokjog Regiszterébe bejegyzésre került. A SZENTKORONA tulajdonában levő területen a közösségek és magánszemélyek a jog szerint földhasználati és birtokjogot igényelhetnek. Ezt a szerződést felbontani, megmásítani, érvényét és hatályát elvitatni sem egyénnek, sem csoportnak, sem semmilyen emberi közösségnek és evilági létezőnek nincs hatalmában. Fentieket a kozmikus – természeti törvények garantálják, melyeket ha figyelmen kívül hagyunk megsemmisítenek. Oldal 1 / 16 Magyar Királyi Koronatanács 1384 Budapest Pf. 736.

Soundtracking a Micronation
SOUNDTRACKING A MICRONATION Neurobash’s engagement with Ladonia [ReceiveD January 28th 2019; accepteD March 11th 2019 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.13.1.11] Sheila Hallerton <[email protected]> Matt Hill Southern Cross University, Lismore <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: LaDonia, conceived anD helmed by artist Lars Vilks since its inception in 1996, operates as a physical anD online micronation that is particularly concerned with freedom of artistic expression. While much of the creative activity unDertaken in – anD in association with – LaDonia has involveD sculptural work, the micronation also appointed the electronic music ensemble Neurobash as its official banD in 2006-2008. This article explores the ensemble’s motivation for engaging with Vilks anD his LaDonia project, the musical work created by them in association with the micronation anD their subsequent Distancing from Vilks’s activities. In approaching these topics, the article produces a characterisation of one of the few sustained associations between a creative ensemble anD a micronation anD the opportunities and issues involved in this. KEYWORDS: LaDonia, Neurobash, Lars Vilks, micronationalism, micronational cultures IntroDuction – LaDonia As DiscusseD in Detail by De Castro anD Kober (2019) elsewhere in this issue of Shima, the micronation of LaDonia was establisheD by SweDish artist Lars Vilks in 1996 following a sustaineD Dispute with local authorities about the artist’s unauthorised construction of large- scale sculptural works on the coast of the Kullaberg peninsula in south-eastern SweDen. Vilks’s protracteD Disputes with local authorities anD his iDentification of the micronation as dedicated to “free expression and art” (Ladonia website, nD) maDe him something of a cause célèbre amongst artists anD various anti-establishment raDicals in the late 1990s anD early 2000s, anD also attracted tourists to the remote area, stimulating the local economy in the process (de Castro anD Kober, 2019). -
