Right now,
you may be wondering, “What is this place?” Well, if you are wondering that,
you may not want to be here. But for those of you who still want to know, Talus
is a micronation. Micronations are small, made up countries that serve one of
several purposes:
·
Political
Simulation-
Often called Model Countries, Political Simulations are
basically a fully working government with citizens and a leader.
·
Sovereignty
Project-
These micronations want real independence and recognition
by macro-nations (real, recognized countries like France and the United
Kingdom). They are usually called Sovereignty Projects.
·
Community-
These micronations seek to establish a group of
like-minded people. They often have their own cultures or are based on a
real-life culture.
Micronations
are also separated by seriousness. A micronation full of people posing as
singing dwarves, for example, may not be as serious as one with people being
normal humans. Micronations like Molossia, Reunion, Talossa, Morovia, and TorHavn are generally considered to be serious. This may
affect diplomatic relations with other nations.
Talus is a
Political Simulation. However, we hope to be about as serious as the “serious”
micronations of Molossia and TorHavn.
We are a constitutional monarchy without a real constitution. We just have a
Magna Carta-like document.
The people
of Talus are divided into three Houses. The first is House Elothin, which is
currently the ruling class. The second
house is House Orius. The third is House Segardes. The monarchy continues down
the line of heirs in each House until they get to the tenth. In that case, the
House with the most citizens becomes ruling house. The cycle repeats itself.
