    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.

    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.

  • Montediszamble Convention on Freedom of Expression, Civility and Copyright Protection in Micronationalism
    Montediszamble Convention on Freedom of Expression, Civility and Copyright Protection in Micronationalism Before the advent of the Internet, the micronational community consisted of a limited number of micronations, barely (if at all) aware of each other’s existence. The IT revolution formed the basis of the intermicronational community as it exists today, as communication became instantaneous and new micronations started emerging en masse. However, at the same time, this led to a decline in professionalism and significantly lowered the bar of what can be considered a “micronation.” Neverending conflicts and infighting became prevalent in the intermicronational community, which was exacerbated by the surge in popularity of instant messaging apps and social media. The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a global increase of anxiety, depression, and irritability, and left millions of people confined to their PCs, set the situation back even further. We, the undersigned members of the micronational community, believe that micronations should strive to be exemplary and to avoid the mistakes of large nations, rather than copying them. In particular: 1. We believe that civility is a necessity for the micronational community, and there is no situation in which it is acceptable for someone who claims to be head of state or a senior state officer to resort to personal insults. 2. We believe that conflicts, when they arise, should be dealt with behind closed doors and through diplomacy, and when a compromise is impossible, the parties should cease communication with each other rather than publicizing the conflict on websites and social media, and thereby damaging the micronational community as a whole.
