| 03/01/2008 | The International President of the United Commonwealth Society (UCS) writes an email to the Governor of Independent Long Island proclaiming full membership in the United Commonwealth Society (UCS), and full diplomatic recognition to Independent Long Island. The Governor of Independent Long Island is also granted voting membership as representative of his country on the UCS Executive Council. A few weeks later, however, the Governor of ILI is told that the title was never legally granted in the first place. The truth, however, was stranger than the fiction: the International President of the UCS did have the legitimate authority, because he had the executive power to bring in new representatives and new countries. All of a sudden, however, those powers were arbitrarily snatched away from him when he brought in a new "micronation" into the society. Clearly a new, more decent, and more inclusive Commonwealth society was needed. |
