Mr James Erwin,

If you are interested in a real nation that recently became a true Virtual State, you can contact me for further details. The story below, however, might serve as a good introduction.

===========================================================

The Tallinian-Bucksfanian Dream began on 9 January 2003 (9 Archimedes 2003). On that day TTF-Bucksfan made history by becoming the first nation without the approval of the United Nations or ICANN to gain legal control of its very own Top-Level Domain (TLD). The day after TTF-Bucksfan even gained control of another two TLDs, becoming in effect one of the few nations on earth controlling more than one TLD.

Then TTF-Bucksfan started to build and test a Domain Registry. By 27 February 2003 (6 Columbus 2003), TTF was able to control the DNS of the http://cesidio.god domain, TTF-Bucksfan first alternative second-level domain (the ".god" TLD is owned by The dot.GOD Registry, Limited).

Then on 5 March 2003 (12 Columbus 2003) TTF-Bucksfan achieved DNS control of its first TLD: http://gov.ttf (.ttf TLD). In the days following this technical achievement, TTF-Bucksfan gained control also of the third-level of the .ttf TLD, and attempted, unsuccessfully, to gain control of its other TLDs.

Then on 12 March 2003 (19 Columbus 2003) TTF-Bucksfan achieved DNS control of its second TLD, http://gov.bucksfan, and the day after it also achieved DNS control of its third TLD of http://gov.bucrafan.

TTF-Bucksfan is now involved in an endeavour that normally involves nation-states only. Not only is TTF-Bucksfan now doing only what nation-states normally do, but it's becoming good at it too! When was the last time you saw a nation administer 3 TLDs, and have total control of its domains on second- and third-levels? There is only one nation that administers 3 or more domains, and is able to do multilevel DNS, and that nation is a superpower!

What is next? Well, if prophesies that were made in the past about so-called "indigo children" are correct, then it seems that TTF-Bucksfan and the Fifth World Council will soon be building massive cities, "Cities of Light" on the Internet, and eventually they will learn to weave their own Internet altogether!

HM Cesidio Tallini
King of TTF-Bucksfan
President of the Fifth World Council
