Hi, a group of us have decided to found a micronation, formed of the Wikipedia community. Currently we've only chosen our country's name, Tirben, so if you want to get involved in the forming of our constitution (hopefully it'll be easier than the founding fathers found it) then you're welcome to drop by and help out. Our IRC channel is #tirben on Freenode, and our website is at http://tirben.starglade.org/
Everyone's invited to drop by, and please spread this message. I hope this will be a great community builder!

I don't know about offshore, but there's absolutely no tax laws whatsoever!

Don't you know? Wikipedia _is_ a micronation. We've got a constitutional monarch, laws, nobles, democracy, rioting in the streets, lynch mobs, local fiefdoms, everything.

In 2006, WPAir - the only national airline where the passengers are in charge, and the planes are reconfigured by complete amateurs from the moment of take-off.

Every flight an adventure. You never know where it's going to land.

Land? Every time we think the flight is complete, someone hauls back on the stick, gooses the throttle and we're off again!

A big discussion: if we painted a Window on the tail, perhaps Gates would arrange mid-air refuelling?
No doubt about it. But we'd see MySQL replaced by SQL Server, PHP by Visual Basic...

After applying all the serious thought that this problem deserves, I have a solution: Start a mailing list. That should generate enough hot air to keep the aircaft flying.
