EARLY HISTORY:
THE NEW WORCESTER KINGDOM:

From 1998-2000


New Beginnings: 
	On August 2, 1998, a new and exciting micronation now 
existed.
It was like none other
before it. 
As is recorded in the first issue of the King’s Paper:

	“Yesterday, August 2, 1998, Sunday, *********** founded a new

Micronation, infact, a new kingdom. It is called the New Worcester 

Kingdom and ************

declared himself Prince ************** of Worcester. He is still a 

crown prince because he is not

yet crowned. But he will be. This is the latest thing since the 

Talossan Kingdom. What is this

brave beginning’s destiny? Only God knows.”


	This was the New Worcester Kingdom, founded in Palmyra, New 

York, in the United

States of America, but it’s spiritual heart was in Worcester, 

England, where ************* was born on

********************. 

	*************** chose a simple flag. It had a blue rectangle in the 

middle and a white

background. Above the rectangle was written ‘Rex ************ *************’. 

Below the rectangle was

written ‘Regnum Worcesterum Novus’.

	The following day, on August 3rd, the Scroll of Freedom was 

written. This was a document proclaiming the independence of the New 

Worcester Kingdom and upholding the rights

of all micronations to secede. W************, a friend of **************, 

was proclaimed

Prime-Chief. This was the chief executive position. 

	There were two official languages. The first was English, and 

the second was a strange

constructed language called Babel. In Babel, the official name of the 

Kingdom was Ela Nobu

Estur Kungi (The New Worcester Kingdom). 

	That same day, on August 3rd, ************ ****** ******** became a 

citizen of the Kingdom.

On August 4th, Mark *********** became the fourth citizen and Nick ********** 

was appointed Secretary

of War. Around August 10th a new flag was adopted called the Old 

Nwker or F-2A. It was just a

white flag with a yellow circular blob in the middle. It had the 

letters NWK on it, which stood for

the New Worcester Kingdom. 


	This was an exciting time for the nation. A Constitution was 

written from August fifth to

the eighth by Prince N************** and Prime Chief Will 

***********. A website was built, on

https://members.tripod.com/~Klausjames/index.html about that same 

time. 

	On August the sixth, *********** ********** sent the following e-

mail, showing his obvious

confidence in the Prince:


Your Majesty, this is your Secretary of War reporting to you. We need 

a person who can take the

job of bringing peace to our country! Our armies are working very 

hard to keep the public from

being afraid of our outside enemies. We are but a peaceful nation, 

but every nation, good or bad,

always has its ups and downs, sir, this is a time when our great 

nation needs you the most.

Reporting out. Secretary of Defense-War, NAC.

(Thursday, August 6, 1998, 7:30 PM).


	He is also reported to have said: “Your new means of 

strengthening our nation is the

newest human evolution on our Earth.” 




The Aerosmith Clan War:

	NC, however, also believed we were under attack from 

a non-existant nation,

called the Aerosmith Clan: 

“I have frightfull news. Our Kingdom is under attack and we are 

having some difficulty protecting

our kingdom. We are under attack by the Aerosmith Clan and have no 

defense against their

weaponry.” 

	He doesn’t go on to explain what weaponry we ‘have no defence 

against’. This was the

most serious situation the New Worcester Kingdom had yet gotten into, 

fighting a non-existent

‘clan’!!!

	On August 11, the Prince declared each province should have 

it’s own consitution and on

August 12th, Ene Kunka was proclaimed the national anthem. It used 

the tune of the Bhutanese

anthem but words written in Babel: Ene Kunka, And Yehoe, Kunka, And 

Yehoe, Kunka, Ene

Regos, And Yehoe, Regos, And Yehoe, Regos, Regos, Regos, Regos, Den 

oka nos Kunka, O!

Yula, yula, suri Kunko! Ripi oka oka noz suri, O! Ene Kunko, Kunko, 

and Yehoe, And Yehoe,

and Yehoe!!!

	August 12, the Kingdom joined the Grand Alliance, which is an 

intermicronational

organisation. On August 15, we entered into an alliance with the 

Federal Mayan Republic. A nasty

conspiracy arose, at this time, over whether or not the Aerosmith 

Clan actually existed or not. If

the Secretary of War, Nick Crane, was proven to have lied about it’s 

existence, then he might have

to face a dishonorable discharge from the military. 

	Also, another new flag was invented. It had a blue 

background, with O’EY written on it,

so it was called O’EY-1. 

	Eventually, on August 17, 1998, the Aerosmith Clan was 

declared to have been

destroyed. NC would face no charges, because it could not 

now be proven whether or

not the Clan ever existed. 



Post-War Devolopment:

	On August 21, e-mails were sent by the Prince to....

	Eventually, it appeared that Nick Crane had had enough. An e-

mail was sent on August

23rd saying he’d quit. Later, he admitted it had been his brother 

screwing with his e-mail. Another

flag, called the Nordic Nwk or Ncnk-4.00 was declared official. 

	Prince **************************** later declared that the Aerosmith 

Clan and their home land

of Aerosmithia were inventions of NC, and that he’d destroyed 

his own micronation. It

was decided, however, that he wouldn’t be punished. 


	An odd flag, called Mayan-1 or FMR-01 was declared the 

official flag, in honour of the

ties of friendship between the New Worcester Kingdom and the Mayan 

Republic. 

	On September 1, the first 16 amedments were added to the 

Constitution, and on

September 13, an addition eleven amendments were added. 

	Prime Chief William invented his own short-lived micronation 

on September 5, called the

Kingdom of Danos. 



The War of ONTES:	


	On September 13, 1998, Sunday, 2:59 PM, the New Worcester 

Kingdom declared war on

the Kingdom of Landreth. It was all over the ridiculous refusal of 

the Landreth Kingdom to let the

New Worcester Kingdom join ONTES (The Organization of Non-Territorial 

and Emerging

States). The Federal Mayan Republic was an ally in this war against 

Landreth. On October 1, the

war ended and peace prevailed. The New Worcester Kingdom had given up 

(which showed that

we were brave enough to risk invasion!!! :) 



Creation of the SPUM:

	On September 19, the Treaty of SPUM was made, which 

officially founded the Splendid

Micro-Union of Microstatia (SPUM). The Treaty was made between the 

Kingdom of Danos and

the New Worcester Kingdom, who were the first members. 

	The Island of Islandia (founded on August 7, 1998), which was 

ruled by King Alexander

Jemmima III signed the Terranic Agreement 

with New Worcester

Kingdom. He agreed that the New Worcester Kingdom now owns the Island 

of Islandia. This

conquest is officially known as the Islandou Conquesto. It was signed 

on October 4, 1998. 

	A more permanent flag was then devised. It was called the 

Justice Banner. It was a

rectangular flag with red on the top half and blue on the bottom 

half. 


	Mark Francis, who was an Esterite (citizen of the New 

Worcester Kingdom), created

Markonia, which was his own micronation, on September 11. 

	In Issue 7 of the King’s Paper, it was announced that it 

would henceforth be called

Cacansa Ester Paipaic (CEP) or Great Paper of Ester in the Vocatae 

language. 

	On October 10, 1998, the Law of Interkingonum was signed by 

*************** and Prime Chief William ***********. It stated that if Prince 

********** abdicates the

throne, then Prime Chief William would become King. However, Prince 

************ could, at any

time he desired, reclaim the throne and King William would have to 

abdicate. The law is in force

until August 2, 2025 A.D. 


	Carolyn Bridgewater then joined as the fifth citizen. 


	A Constitutional Congress was called on October 11th, for the 

creation of a second and

superior constitution. 

	On October 16, the United Micronations accepted the New 

Worcester Kingdom as a

member. 


The War of Rocklokz:


	Apparently, on October 18, a really big tree named King Old 

Growth with the support of

the New Worcester Kingdom (through the Arborian Treaty of Alliance), 

declared war on some

stones (for obstructing the peace in the Origo Colony). This war 

became known as the War of

Rocklokz. Initially, nine rocks were captured, in the Battle of 

Rockshaw (October 20). The

General of the rocks announced:


	“I was only following orders! Our orders were to throw Ourselves at King Old Growth,

thus hurting him. I’m of the fourth division of the I-Rock army, 

general class military commander

Stone. The whole I-Rock army consists of ten stones and pebbles. Our 

allies, the Big-Rockies also

have ten soldiers. I don’t know about Our new ally, the Island of 

Islandia, they’re a tricky bunch.

Anyway, as the only English-speaking rock here, ‘We of the fourth 

division, SURRENDER to the

will and power of the New Worcester Kingdom’. There, I said it, I’M A 

LOUSY TRAITOR, VIVA

I-Rock!!!”

	These rocks were allies with the Island of Islandia. 

Remember, that the Island of Islandia

gave all of it’s territory to the New Worcester Kingdom in the 

Islandou Conquesto, through the

Terranic Agreement. The Island of Islandia obviously wanted revenge! 


	In the Battle of Big Tree, five rocks were captured. Princess 

Stoned-Tu-Much was

captured in the Battle of Vicktorstone. In the Battle of Hardrock, 

one rock was captured. In the

Battle of Capturestein (October 25), the King of I-Rock/Big-Rock was 

captured as well as three

others. A trial was called for King Oggk on the charges 

of “treachery, defeat, rebellion,

unauthorized alliance, destruction of forests, obstruction of 

justice, and meniachle acts against the

Origo Colony”. 


	The War of Rocklokz ended with the Treaty of Inflatuations on 

November 8.


Parchment of Microstatia:

	The eleven members of the SPUM, the New Worcester Kingdom 

included, adopted the

Parchment of Microstatia on October 25, as the Constitution/Charter 

of the SPUM. This was a big

step in the evolution of the micronational world. The SPUM took on a 

new level of maturity. 



Work on the Constitution:


	Up to a point, the Constitutional Congress had been working 

on the Articles of Esterite

Chiefdom (the new idea for a constitution). However, that was dumped 

in favour of the Laws of

New Worcester. 

	The Constitutional Congress ended and the Laws of New 

Worcester became the official

constitution on November 22, 1998. 

	The first Faslexius (law-journal) of the New Worcester 

Kingdom was written on

November 23. 

	Leslie Bridgewater became the sixth citizen on November 4, 

and ********** Proulx became

the seventh citizen on November 6. 

	On November 10, His Majesty, ********* declared that since 

NC wouldn’t reply to

e-mails and was not worthy of his position, he was stripped of all 

titles.



The Great Abdication:

	
	Around this time, King ******** was trying to join the 

Kingdom of Talossa. He abdicated

the Throne on November 26. Prime Chief Will became King William I, 

the second King ever to

rule the Throne of the New Worcester Kingdom. Nick’s abdication 

speech was:

	“My friends, this message goes forth to every Esterite 

citizen. It is My sovereign duty to

say what I am now going to say. This is the saddest day in Our 

Glorious History. Let this be

known in all Esterite sources of news and let every citizen know what 

I shall say. Give alms to

what I speak so. I announce that I may soon be aloof of the New 

Worcester Kingdom whilst still

editor of the CEP. I beg upon that thou all might be conversant with 

this conundrum. 

Abdication is a hard thing to announce I’m afraid. Am I abdicating? I 

groped around, and have

found my destiny. Abdication from Monarchy is the path that I choose. 

As I wear my crown for

the last time, I am doubtful. What have I done in absolute benefit to 

my micronation besides Its

formation? Prime Chief Will shall be a much better King. 

There is little legislature on abdication, so I take it at My own 

royal will. I saith now that I am

abdicated and that this document is approved. By law, the present 

Prime Chief shall become King.

Hereby, William Beasley is King of all the land. I have found it 

impossible to discharge my duties

as King, without a larger population than seven. 

	There is the serious problem of inactivity in this nation, 

which I can not deal with. Am I

the only active citizen? It seams to be so. We are gathered here 

today, in a time when this solidly

founded micronation is progressing at a phenomenal rate, and as the 

Origo Seas flow in the rivers

of Our many colonies, as the flowers grow in the fields of Our 

meadows, and the King sleeps in

the Babal Province, I shall be with you all. Let this day be forever 

known as Abdication Day.

Celebrate this day every year and let it be a day of progress.” 


	Chelsea Erenstone became the eighth citizen and Celeste 

Erenstone became the first

honourary citizen. On January 1, 1999, former King, ****************************, again joined

the New Worcester Kingdom after failing to join Talossa. He them made 

a failed attempt to join 

Penguinea, but he doesn’t hold a grudge against either of those 

micronations. John Smith (Premer

Marx) became the ninth citizen on January 8, 1999. 


	On January 9, the Treaty of Empire was signed and the Kingdom 

of Danos was annexed. 



Final Defeat of Islandia:


	The Island of Islandia finally was defeated!!! On January 30, 

1999, the New Worcester

Kingdom paid the Island of Islandia $3 and the Islandic-Esterite 

Covenant was signed. The Island

of Islandia was now a part of the New Worcester Kingdom. 



	The Great Inactive Period:


	Thus we enter the Great Inactive Period. This is from 1999-

2000. The New Worcester

Kingdom seemed doomed for extinction. King William I wasn’t doing 

much with it. Then,

***************** recieved a great idea on May 18, 2000. He 

was now living in

England again, and had visited the actual City of Worcester once. He 

decided that the New

Worcester Kingdom must be refounded. In the middle of the night, at 2 

A.M., he worked out a

Preamble to a new Constitution. 


The New Micronation:


	It appeared necessary that the New Worcester Kingdom be 

entirely refounded. It had done

a lot of things it probably shouldn’t of. It’s name had been stained. 

It was inactive, and the King

was too busy to do anything with it. It was either refound or die!!! 

The answer was clear, it had to

be refounded. Drastic action was necessary. So, ************************, 

the original founder,

decided that on August 2, 2000 (the Two Year Anniversary of the New 

Worcester Kingdom), it

would be refounded as ‘the Ancient Republic-Kingdom of Upper and 

Lower Habakkuk in

Amon-Ra’. The ‘Articles of Eternal Union’ were written and 

preparations made for the

refounding. This was an exciting time. It was as if a new micronation 

was being born; and truly, it

was. :)
