First Experience in a Political Simulation

So... on my last post I mentioned about what the Empire of Noricas is all about right? Well, in a political simulation, if you haven't done such action before, then knowing what to do will be hard at first, because you won't know what to do unless you tour around to learn more. This is what I'm experiencing right now. It doesn't matter if you took so many advanced political classes before or not, lack of experience in micronationalism is always a factor for newer citizens of the micronation.

I am currently undergoing several deep thoughts about the ideas that can encourage more participation in the micronationlism. Since this is my first experience to use my growing political interests in micronationalism, despite not having taken AP Politics or even the IB level of Politics beforehand, I need a lot of time so that I can think of the best ways to be able to meet that goal of more participation, which is hard thinking as some ideas you think about may have already been used. Think about it, it is just like President Obama not having prior experience with such post as a president before.

I shall do my best to come up with the best possible ways to resolve the issue of inactivity. After all, I'm deeply committed into helping the micronation.

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!
