A new country

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

A new country has been formed in the Shetland Islands. It is called Forvik, and currently has a population of 1, and he appears to live in a tent. The country claims legitimacy based on interpretation of history and seems to be encouraging use as a tax haven. People are invited to become what I would describe as virtual citizens. This makes it in my opinion a virtual country as much as a physical country.

As the founder of Newland, I wish to concratulate Forvik on its declaration. Although I would like Newland to officially recognise Forvik, that cannot be done at this time because Newland does not have to functioning government that can make decisions and pass laws. Newland’s government remains in development.

Update

Due to lack of support from users, Moraff’s Freedom Player is not being updated as you can see from this blog. Moraff is working on other projects, such as Newland and a language teaching program. The first version of the language teaching program is expected to teach English, Chinese, Russian, Italian, and Spanish. As it currently functions, it is second to none in building vocabulary. Release date is unknown.
