Empire of Noricas

Have any of you been wondering why I have mentioned the name Noricas, something unfamiliar to almost all of the Brighton people? Aside from my all my best and close friends from Hillcrest, who already know what I am talking about, Noricas is the name of the micronation started by one of my best friends, Jeffrey Bennett, along with his friends as part of the project on micronationalism.

Recently, I was told by Jeff about Noricas, something I've heard of before by other people of Hillcrest who have mentioned this name before. Now, I think you all noticed that I've been keeping track of US political news more often than usual, primarily through TV and the New York Times.

Here's the thing: being part of this micronation enables you to know about how laws work in a political simulation, something a little bit similar to the American Problems class at Brighton. Simply put, Noricas is a constitutional monarchy based on the British government with Norican as the official language of this micronation (correct me if I'm wrong on these details, Jeff.).

After hearing about it, I got convinced that I would like to know more about constitutional monarchy in political simulations. Because of my continued increase in my interest in politics, I decided to join the nation, and analyze how people handle the government through laws. I officially joined in on June 5, 2010. I also obtained a translation of my name in Norican, which is shown on my Facebook profile. Thanks Hayden Rowberry for the translation, I really like my translated name!

After joining in, I am ready to look over the things people of Noricas have done so that I can help out with these discussions!
