Imperium Back in the Foreign Aid Line.

Officials from the Imperial Government of the Imperium of DeWaCo Estates will once again meet with Officers of a US Financial Institution; with primary purpose and interest in securing additional funding for fiscal 2008-2009.

This meeting is scheduled to take place within the next week; and is in addition to previous similar meetings, and will involve offers of additional collateral from the Imperial Family and Government to the US Financial Institution. The Imperial Government has made it clear that no sovereign property nor strategic assets are being offered as collateral.

According to the Lord Imperator is "Foreign Aid Package" is required in order to help stabilize a stagnate economy within the Imperium of DeWaCo Estates. The recent weather, and rising prices of: fuel, fertilizer, and feed has placed the Imperial Economy at risk. The Imperial Government (and all State controlled businesses) currently operate at a near-deficit.

The "trickle-down" of macro-economics has hit hard in the Imperium, and has had an unexpected *double compounded* "domino effect" upon all of the Imperial businesses. However, based upon conservative projections and with proper planning, it is still believed that with a little luck and hard work, and an extension of current agreements, with an additional financial agreement from the US Financial Institution, the Imperium's economic engine can, and will, be in a position to be turned around in time.

Micronational Leader Support 'Olympic Spirit' While Boycotting 2008 Summer Games

Micronational Leader Support 'Olympic Spirit' While Boycotting 2008 Summer Games

-- Staff Writer

Micronational Leaders, including the Governor-General of our own Dominion and the Lord Imperator of the Imperium of DeWaCo Estates have joined macronational leaders from Europe in boycotting the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games in Communist China. Some, including the Lord Imperator of the Imperium have also declared a boycott against the games in their entirety.

This rejection of the Games in China doesn't reflect a rejection of the spirit of the Olympics – camaraderie through sport competitions. Many of the leaders boycotting the games or opening ceremonies do so, as they see it, to strengthen the spirit of the Games, and to promote friendship and sovereignty through out the world.

Many leaders have shown their support for the Games themselves, and the players from across the globe. Some by attending the Games (skipping only the Opening Ceremonies), some by public statements, and some by concrete actions.

The Lord Imperator, is among those who actively support the Olympic Ideals – he is a coach and driver for the Missouri Special Olympics. While broadcast of the Games in Communist China will be banned in the Imperium, the Imperial Family will be supporting the Missouri Special Olympics by direct participation, financial support, and logistical support.

In like manner the Governor-General will attend a 'pan commonwealth' Cricket tourney in August, stating 'This is what 'international sport' is about – people, ordinary people, from different places coming together for a friendly game, and a good time. The fact that we can share this aspect of our culture helps us to be able share others as well, and to share with our neighbors is a 'good thing'.

Sovereigns of Ferguson in US Political Race

Sovereigns of Ferguson directly involved in International Politics
-- Dominion Central Information Authority 'Briefing'

Their Majesties (Benjamen/Benelea I) of the Kingdom of Ferguson are running concurrently for president as an independent and for the Kansas House of Representatives (District 104) as a Libertarian.
On the Web site for the House campaign, their Majesties state they would “encourage divestment of any funds from the Kansas government in enterprises associated with the Israeli state.” Being anti-Israel (which is not to be confused with being anti-Israeli) and a cross-dresser aren’t their Majesties only peculiarities. Although he’s a Libertarian, he supports the Iraq War and opposes hate-crimes laws.

President Baugh hosts Prince Christopher During Historic State Visit

30 June 2008 XXXI
Khamsin Molossia News


The Republic of Molossia was proud to host Prince Christopher and Princess Erin of Vikesland to our nation, June 27 - 30, 2008 XXXI. The Prince and Princess traveled from their nation, located in Manitoba, Canada, as a part of a tour through the western United States. After stops in Montana and Idaho, the Royal Family arrived in Molossia at about 10:00 AM MST, and were greeted by His Excellency, The President. His Excellency escorted the Prince and Princess to Republic Square, where he awarded Prince Christopher with the Order of the Mustang, as a token of the long friendship between Molossia and Vikesland. Prince Christopher in return awarded The President with the Order of Vikesland, and in addition presented him with a plaque honoring the occasion of this State Visit. Prince Christopher then closed with a short speech, speaking of the friendship between Vikesland and Molossia, and praising our nation's role in the world of small nations.

Subsequent to the awards and speech, His Excellency escorted the Royal Family on a tour of our nation, visiting all of our sites. They then returned to Norton Park, and engaged in an informal dialogue on micronational matters. Following this, The President, Prince and Princess departed for nearby Virginia City for lunch and a tour of that unique town. Upon returning from Virginia City, His Excellency and the Royal Family returned to Norton Park, and spent the remainder of the day relaxing there.

On Saturday, 28 June 2008 XXXI, The President, Prince and Princess departed Molossia for distant Donner Lake, located in the Sierras not far from Lake Tahoe. There they engaged in Joint Naval Maneuvers, using the mighty M.S. Wombat and the redoubtable M.S. Bandicoot. This marks the first occasion that two micronations have engaged in joint military activities, and the first time a graduate of the Molossian Naval Academy and Honorary Admiral - Prince Christopher - has deployed with the Molossian Navy. The Joint Exercise took the Royal Family and His Excellency through Donner Lagoon, much like the voyage of the Wombat almost two years ago in the same location. In addition to traveling the entire length of the lagoon, the intrepid voyagers landed at 5 MPH Island, and even forayed briefly out into Donner Lake itself. The expedition was a resounding success. Following the Joint Naval Maneuvers, The President took the Prince and Princess on a tour of Lake Tahoe, with stops at Skylandia on the North Shore and Emerald Bay on the West Shore. The day ended with dinner at Straw Hat Pizza in Carson City, the Official Pizza of the Republic of Molossia, followed by a viewing of the iconic movie "The Mouse That Roared", in the Great Room of Government House.

On Sunday, 29 June 2008 XXXI, His Excellency and the Royal Family traveled to Misfit Flats, some 16 Imperial Nortons (16 km / 10 mi) from Molossia. There they participated in a Joint Rocket Project, a precursor to the long-planned, long-distance and oft-delayed Joint Rocket Project on which Molossia and Vikesland have been working for nearly a year. In lieu of that larger project, the Prince and The President each launched their own rockets from the Flats, as a part of the State Visit. His Excellency launched the "Mustang", veteran of the recent Tandem Rocket Project, and Prince Christopher launched the "Eagle", specially built for this Joint Project. Both the Mustang and the Eagle were launched successfully twice at the same time, and the Eagle was launched solo a third time. The rocket launch being a success, and the heat on the desert floor being intense, the project was ended and all returned to Molossia. The day was ended with a viewing of the iconic movie, "Moon Over Parador".

The State Visit ended on 30 June 2008 XXXI, with the departure of the Royal Family for parts east. It was a great pleasure to host Prince Christopher and Princess Erin in our country, and an honor in the utmost. We wish them well on their return journey to Vikesland, and we additionally wish the Royal Family and their nation continued success and prosperity. We look forward to the day when The President can visit Vikesland himself, and we anticipate many long years of friendship between our two nations.
