I am sure my reputation proceeds me. In case it does not, here is a little about Regelis.
About Regelis
The micronation of Regelis was founded in 1999 by a group of students from within Florida state's GATE program, under the name Kaos (pronounced like coast). An assignment was given to develop a micronation and to take place in diplomatic relations with other classmates. This was on National Start You Own Nation Day, November 22nd. This assignment began the desire to create a real nation by this group of gifted individuals who proposed principles that exemplified unique individuals, their interests and projects.
Regelis as it exists now is much different than it existed during that elementary assignment. After the assignment ended, a group of individuals from the class worked to maintain the idea of Kaos alive until their physical separation in 2006. Originally formed as a military dictatorship, though the classwork the students began to understand the need for negotiation and open mindedness to other cultures, Kaos became the Regelis monarchical state. Then eventually a meritocratic oligarchy.
Regelis has developed a clear ideology and set of expectations of its citizens. Citizens are preferred to keep to themselves in public spaces, to avoid conflict triggering actions, violence, disruptive speech, or offensive imagery. At the same time venues are open to display freedom of speech and expression, with no threat of censorship.
Citizens are encouraged by the government to take competitive rates of pay, and to work on their own self fulfilling projects. Because of the universal basic income that Regelis provides, it is expected that businesses incentive the public to enter the workforce through quality of life programs and monetary benefits. As a result of this government maintained economic program, the value of work has become vital to businesses who must compete among each other to acquire skilled labor.
The view of religious practice in Regelis is fairly neutral. In the state and government sphere the occurrence of organized religion is fairly sparse. Practitioners and members of religious organizations are taxed for their practice as is any other citizen or company account. Regelis has no official religion, and references to religious iconography during state operations opens a speaker up to a battery of questions and distrust in the rational decision making of their operations.
Relationships in Regelis are viewed as personal matters, and marriage as a religious ceremony. Marriage is viewed is a promise of from one person to another to maintain monogamy within a relationship. Divorce is legally easy to perform as the separation is instantaneous if only one party agrees and there is not suitable license. Possession of belongings in a relationship are always treated the same regardless of the apparent quality or longevity of that relationship. They are split to the purchasers, and if neither can agree on an ownership, it is claimed by the state instead.
As a result of the view of marriage as a religious event, people are open to practice their religious views without fear of ostracization. Thus, homosexual marriage is legal in the state of religious without any restrictions. Polygamous and polyamorous relationships are also legal.
What Regelis Has Now That Functions
- A legislative branch capable of drafting law.
- An executive branch capable of ratifying law.
- A Digital Currency
- A Universal Basic Income
