Second Issue, September 1996 |
| 1. WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
Since the day of independance the newborn country has been very succesful. The number of citizens is in August around 700. Passports are continually sent out to our citizens all over the world. All citizens are nomades with the possibility to visit their home country and to keep in touch on this internet space. Thousands of tourists have visited the capital Nimis and the stone book Arx during the summer season.

Two embassies exists so far, in Stockholm, Sweden (ambassador Ola
Pehrson) and in
Odense (ambassador Carsten Ohrt).
The green flag of Ladonia has been created by the swedish artist
Leif Eriksson. The
green color is a mixture of the blue and yellow in the swedish
flag. The sophisticated
version is fully green with no marks but with the conceptual
addition of a proclaimed
cross to be seen with a keen eye. On the official version the
green cross is marked with
thin white lines. Official days of the flag are June 2nd
(independance day), 31st of July(birth of the capital Nimis), 3d of November (doomsday), January
3d (birth of Arx),
Feb 19th (the County Council starts the struggle against Nimis),
April 25th (the day
when Nimis was bought by Jospeh Beuys /1984/ and after his death
by Christo and
Jeanne-Claude /1986/.
Ladonia has two national anthems. The first ”throw a stone for
Ladonia” is composed
by the norwegian composer J.L. Eriksen and is performed by
throwing a stone into
water, preferably calm water to let the rings sound, The second by
the Minister of
Health where the music describes the history of Ladonia and
different moods of the
citizens.

War will be fought on internet. Soon the strategics and war outfit
will be shown on this
page. The government of Ladonia strongly recommend internet war
fights (if
absolutely necessary) to take place here. It will save energy and
environment.
The Minister of Mail has started the first routes, between the
capital Nimis and the
stone book Arx. Everyone who wants a letter delivered takes care
of this by being the
mailman, The walk (mailwalk) is marked and easy to follow. The
distance is about 50
meters. The Magazine ”Nordisk filateli” has made an article on
ladonian stamps.
Further more stamps will be made of the Minister of Pictures, Leif
Eriksson, who is a
leading expert on special stamp editions in art.
The Örtug has had a tremendous success. It is probably the
strongest currency in the
world as the currency produced so far is immediately exchanged. It
is thus a good idea
to invest your money into örtug. 1 örtug is about 1 and ¾ of a
dollar.
Tu regere impero populos, Ladone, memento (hae tibi erunt artes)
pacisque imponere
morem, parcere subictis et deballare superbos.

The possibilities of entering the nobility class have been used by
so far around 70
inhabitants. Our lords and ladies gives Ladonia a great security
and support, working
incessantly to keep the country in good order. The count and
countess Lööf have
taken initiative to develop the navy, baron Simon af Lynx is
administering the new
banknotes, Count von Und Zu is expanding the interest for Ladonia
at his residence in
Earls Court Sq in London, just to give a few examples.
The House of Lords is soon to be erected on this page.
On aug 14th the first mastership in single soccer was played. The
tournament was won
by Tiit Mathiesen (Minister of Brain). He went through the game
undefeated, however,
not without a little portion of luck. Ladonia Herald congratulates
the master.

The citizens of Ladonia will have an election within a few months.
The delay is due to
the registration of new citizens - we need some time to organize
all the newcomers.
This first election will concern two areas: The constitution, what
order of state will run
the country, monarchy, republic or what? Proposals are welcome.
Political - to elect
new ministers and members of Parliament.
14. AT THE END OF THE DAY- a word by the minister of health
People of All Nations! We all need to think on spiritual matters.
Especially in health
work. We need a choir of Healing Voices. The Healing Voices should
perform interior
deep songs that shoot arrows of rising stars into the twilight.
Just as thick clouds may
render it overcast, the spirit may be ignored by petty
pompousness. The spirit is
stronger than you. It is little Indian damsels dancing in the sky.
The clouds should be
removed by the Health Minister.

15. PROJECT/PRODUCTION
a) Projects concerning Ladonia
I. Political parties and proclamations.
This project concerns the political life in Ladonia. For the
coming elections there
should be political parties and individuals to vote for. If you
want to constitute any
form of political party or declaration of opinions important to
the new country you can
deliver them in this project.
II. Departments
Certainly we need many new departments run by competent ministers.
What should
not be forgotten and how should the work be done?
III. Traffic
Pedestrians totally dominates the traffic in Ladonia. There are
now and then a few
mountain bikes. On very calm days small boats can enter the shore.
How to handle this
specific problem, especially when it is a fact that the whole of
Ladonia is more a less a
mountain side?
IV. Defence
The Minister of Defence need some help to arrange the defence of
Ladonia. We expect
the swedes to be our main opponent. Should we join NATO?
V. Law
The Minister of Justice is soon to present the laws of the
country. Is it a good idea to
have very few laws (most statute books are totally unreadable)? In
what form should
the laws be presented?
b) GENERAL PROJECTS
I. Unemployment
II. The Logomere
III Project on projects.
Lars Vilks, temporary regent of Ladonia
