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.

Micronationalism As a Phenomenon of the Present Mikronacionalizmus Ako Fenomén Súčasnosti
Acta facultatis studiorum humanitatis et naturae Universitas Prešoviensis, Prírodné vedy, Folia geographica, Volume 56, 2014, No.1, FHPV PU Prešov. ISSN 1336-6157 MICRONATIONALISM AS A PHENOMENON OF THE PRESENT MIKRONACIONALIZMUS AKO FENOMÉN SÚČASNOSTI Robert Ištok1 – Štefánia Nováková2 Abstract: The establishment of territorial and virtual micronations, termed as “micronationalism,” relates to the last quarter century of their development. Micronationalism is a collection of thoughts supporting a varied collection of micronational activities, which are displayed by a tendency to disengage from the wider economic and political system of a particular state. In some cases it is only a kind of joke. Thereby, established micronations are trying to find ways for their own development through recognition of certain values. The paper focuses on the explanation of this phenomenon in the context of globalisation processes. Key words: micronationalism, micronations, microstates, globalisation INTRODUCTION Cyberspace represents a widespread virtual world created by modern technologies, existing in parallel with the “real” world. Although this characteristic is a subject of discussion, it is undeniable that there is a great deal of virtual communities within it. So-called micronations belong to this type of communities. However, this term often also refers to communities operating in the “real” world, which arose even before the formation of virtual networks. The phenomenon of micronations, particularly of virtual countries, represents a research challenge for the social sciences. This is the due to the fact that entities operate on the basis of other patterns than do traditional social communities. Among these challenges is the research into motivation of their creation, operation and functions, as well as its perspectives for their existence in the context of globalization and the information society.

Concept and Status of Fictional States
CONCEPT AND STATUS OF FICTIONAL STATES Prof. nadzw. UR, dr hab. Viktoriya Serzhanova Faculty of Law and Administration University of Rzeszów (Poland) Abstract:The article aims at analyzing the phenomenon of fictional states from the perspective of a concept and definition, as well as a shape and functions of a contemporary state. Presently, the hitherto model of a national state is starting to loose its cognitive significance. At the same time, more and more often one can observe reaching for the idea of fictional organisms, which have been created and exist exceptionally as a result of their authors’ fantasy. Therefore, besides the states functioning in reality, which possess their essential characteristic features determining their entity, one can perceive the existence of fictional ‘states’. Such creations do not meet the requirements of a state definition, although some of them possess symbols, constitutions and even currency, stamps and anthems. Fictional states have their aims, such as commercial, promotional, historical or legal. Besides entertainment, they also perform very specific functions, like community- building and educational. Key words: fictional states, concept, definition and functions of a contemporary state, political system, society, law, loophole, aims and functions of fictional states. Introduction The hereby article aims at analyzing the phenomenon of fictional states in the context of a concept and definition, as well as a shape and functions of a contemporary state. There exist many studies about a state, written from the perspective of different scientific disciplines, above all political sciences, sociology, more seldom law. This problem is also the subject of keen interest of sociopolitical journalism and public opinion, which create o conglomerate of visions, reflections and opinions, rising both from the science and colloquial knowledge, being presently broadcast by media.

In this regard, they closely parallel aspects of conceptual, performance anD installation art practice. It is unsurprising then that a number of prominent micronations have been formeD by artists in response to local issues anD/or as components of broaDer artistic projects. The Embassy of the Commonwealth of New Bayswater, createD by Perth artist Jessee Lee Johns for the inaugural Fremantle Biennale in 2017, is a prime example of site-responsive art’s ability to proviDe illuminating representations of key issues in local discourse. The installation merits sustaineD consiDeration in this journal due to its intersection with recent debates concerning micronationality in the form of its wry engagement with aspects of Western Australian secessionist politics. Its other significant aspect is its adDress to issues of sea level rise, encroachment anD submergence – a phenomenon whose impacts are likely to over-ride the viability of many low-lying territories let alone any secessionist pretensions inDividuals or communities inhabiting them may have. KEYWORDS: Secession, Micronationalism, Site-Responsive Art, Submergence, Western Australia, New Bayswater, Rottnest IslanD Introduction Secessionism has become an increasingly prominent aspect of international politics in the miD-late 2010s. The UniteD KingDom’s historic vote to withDraw from the European Union in 2016 is perhaps the most notable example.

Captain Calamity's Sovereign State of Forvik
Grydehøj: Forvik, Micronations and Nationaliism CAPTAIN CALAMITY’S SOVEREIGN STATE OF FORVIK Micronations and the Failure of Cultural Nationalism ADAM GRYDEHØJ Island Dynamics <[email protected]> Abstract Micronations are often viewed as humorous phenomena, but, when linked to serious political movements, they have the potential to exert real political influence. In 2008, Stuart Hill (known as Captain Calamity) founded the micronation of Forvik on a small island in the archipelago of Shetland (Scotland, UK). Arguing that Shetland had never become part of the Scottish state, Hill sought to use Forvik as the springboard for a Shetland-wide self-determination movement. Although Hill’s rationale was primarily economic, Shetland possessed a strong pre-existing sense of cultural distinctiveness and tendencies toward cultural nationalism, which came to be popularly associated with Hill’s project. The Forvik micronation, however, received virtually no popular support, and, since its founding, Hill has struggled to make his argument heard through an amused global media and a hostile court system. Ultimately, this micronation has been detrimental to the development of a genuine Shetland self-determination movement and has weakened Shetland’s culturally rooted resistance to wider Scottish nationalism. This study illustrates how, far from bolstering associated nationalist movements, some micronations may lower them into ridicule and defeat. Keywords Micronations, Forvik, cultural nationalism, Shetland, independence movements Introduction A micronation (also known as micropatria) is a place that claims to be a sovereign state or autonomous political entity yet possesses a very limited (or non-existent) resident population and is not recognised by sovereign states (apart from other micronations).

[AR 2013-160; 2013-205; 2014-244; 2014-40; 2014-200] ________________________________________________________________ BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Whitney Smith (born February 26, 1940) conceived of the term vexillology in 1957, synthesizing the Latin word vexillum (flag) and the Greek suffix -logia (study). Vexillology, originally a sub-discipline of heraldry, is the scientific study of the history, symbolism, and usage of flags or, by extension, any interest in flags in general. In 1961, Smith cofounded The Flag Bulletin, the first journal in the world devoted to the study of flags. The following year in 1962, Smith founded the Flag Research Center in Winchester, Massachusetts. Smith received his Bachelor's degree from Harvard University (1961) and his Ph.D. from Boston University in 1968, completing his dissertation, "Prolegomena to the Study of Political Symbolism," the same year. After graduating from Harvard, Smith served as professor of political science at Boston University. Smith worked with the international community to organize the First International Congress of Vexillology in 1965, then cofounded and the International Federation of Vexillological Associations (FIAV) in 1969.

Micronazioni. Lo «Stato Come Opera D'arte»
p i a n o b . A R T I E C U L T U R E V I S I V E ISSN 2531-9876 73 Micronazioni. Lo «Stato come opera d’arte» SIMONE CIGLIA Nel 2003 la Finlandia House e l’isola di Harakka a Helsinki ospitano un summit di capi di Stato. Sono molte le ragioni che distinguono questo vertice dagli appuntamenti che scandiscono l’agenda diplomatica inter- nazionale e ne fanno un appuntamento con la storia. Una storia forse con la lettera minuscola ma che merita di essere raccontata. I sei invitati alla conferenza non siedono in un seggio delle Nazioni Unite e rappre- sentano Stati che non compaiono in alcuna mappa politica del globo; portano i nomi immaginosi di: Principato di Sealand, Ladonia, NSK-State, Transnational Republic, Regno di Elgaland&Vargaland, Stato di Sabotag- gio. Esula dalla prassi istituzionale anche la cornice nella quale l’assemblea è convocata: la settima biennale della performance Amorph!, ideata e curata da Tellervo Kelleinen e Oliver Kochta1. È qui che si riuni- sce per la prima volta il summit delle micronazioni. Il termine micronazione (meno frequentemente micro-nazione)2 si è af- fermato oggi come onnicomprensivo per descrivere una galassia di fe- nomeni in precedenza variamente denominati “nazioni modello”, “stati immaginari”, “contro nazioni”. L’uso di questo vocabolo3 si diffonde nel 1 Amorph!03 Summit of micronations, a cura di Tellervo Kelleinen e Oliver Kochta, Helsinki, Finlandia House, 29-31 agosto 2003. 2 Per una introduzione alle micronazioni si veda: Strauss, 1979; Fuligni, 1997; O’Driscoll, 2000; Ryan, Dunfort, Sellars, 2006; Bertin-Hoffmann, 2010; Graziani, 2012; Graziani, 2015.
