Now, many people may remember the Federal Empire of Aarbaro. It was a nation founded by Artemis Langford and myself in the June of 2017, however it was official declared defunct in the January of 2018.

However, with Artemis Langford coming back to the scene of micronationalism, it seems there is also an interest with restarting Aarbaro, but not in a way we would imagine. We see this in the Soviet Socialist Republics of Aarbaro.

“I wanted to revive it, though I have a feeling it would like beating and then reviving a dead horse again. I wanted to make it into a new type of government. More of a satire government really,” said Langford when I asked about the status of Aarbaro. The nation seems to just be a fun experiment for the micronational community, as on the 30th of September, 2018, Langford went public with a proclamation of independence being released.

The SSRA officially declared independence from the United States of America, and “HEREBY DECLARE THEIR INDEPENDENCE FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND HEREBY ASSERT OUR OWN AUTHORITY OVER OUR COMMON LAND! THE SSRA SHALL ALSO DISSOLVE ALL BONDS THAT OUGHT TO BE DISSOLVED FROM ALL CAPITALISTIC ALLEGIANCE TO ANY NATION OR ENTITY THAT IS THE SAID ALLEGIANCE,” as directly quoted from the proclamation. The proclamation has also declared that Langford is the first Supreme Council Chair, First People’s Deputy Chair, Chair of the Socialist Party of Aarbaro, and the Supreme Executive of the SSRA, among many other titles to come.

The Times will be watching the development the SSRA, as it is the continuation of one of my self-proclaimed best achievements.
