Our Government
Curnon is governed by an Oligarch with Asa in the highest position in government, German Rugama, Willow Cizdeizd and Daniel Gomez are the Co-Leaders of this nation. We have made many tangible items, a community both in real life and Virtual.
Curnon has a Senate that contains the leaders of 5 political parties. One of these senators, Daniel Gomez, is also one of our leaders.
We are open to all Diplomatic Relations with other micronations*, except for "absorbing" and/or "combining" Curnon into another micronation, any request for anything that takes away our sovereignty even partially, will be taken as a huge offense and we will automatically refuse to interact with you. We also will not support or interact with those who do not pass a background search and/or questioning.
* Any nation allied to an enemy of curnon is not to have relations with curnon either.
Territory
Here is the current land claim of Curnon explained
South City, with 2 sections of a park near the spot this nation was originally founded within, a sign Asa put up on the fourth day of this nation's existence called "the sign of progress," and a lake close by.
Alice City, a home, and some yard in Southern Ohio. This is a part of property of Asa's Grandmother.
Asa Island, and 2 nearby islands in Maine, near Swans Island that are claimed to be called "Asa Islands". Lead by Daniel Gomez, a Co-Leader.
Cuarto, a room inhabited by German Rugama, a Co-Leader
5. The Yorokonde Province, and Cetresia. These two Territories border one another, Cetresia as a jointly controlled region along with Pontunia
6. Relanon. Relanon is a joint territory bewteen Curnon, and Relania.
FUN FACT: Every Curno flag and everything within an inch of it is Curno territory (Unless that flag is within the borders of a micronation Curnon recognizes as independent from any other existing nation). This means that due to Asa Ward accidentally leaving a Curnon flag at Microcon 2023 Joliet, we technically claim territory in Joliet, maybe. it probably flew off by now.
The 3 Larger regions Depicted in Blue, Purple, and Red are called "Regions"
The 8 Medium Regions Depicted in black are called "Provinces"
The 8 small Regions Depicted in Green, Yellow, and Orange are called "Cities"

The Flags of Curnon
THE HIAWATHA BANNER
Red circle = Micronationalism in general, and the local community Curnon is surrounded by,
Main Purple = the statistical rarity of such a micronation actually doing something and staying afloat, and all of the carefully crafted details in the background that make this nation a thing.
Yellow Star = The current government and it's branching out to the micronational community.
White "I" = Asa Ward, Daniel Gomez, and German rugama at the center of the government. (white because just like the nation, the leaders have changed, a reference to the white cross)
Orange circular line = The defining characteristics that separate The micronational community from the rest of the world.
tan cross = the longevity, and the confidence in the long-term stability of our nation.
white cross = Even though we may go through big changes, or be somewhat inactive at times We do exist and are proud of it.
purple cross = Our love for, and aim to help Native American peoples, the shade of purple is a nod to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
yellow lines = The fact that Asa works all the time to this mini culture, micronation altogether, and the news of our existence spreading to other people
Our flag is called the Hiawatha banner as a refference to the the creation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy flag, as their flag uses the Hiawatha belt as its only distinct feature.
There are many flags for regions, provinces, and cities within Curnon, but only areas within The Caroline got a flag, and not even all of them did. We will add these flags to the website as soon as possible, but not just yet, we haven't been able to transfer them. yet

Our Ideoligical Views
Curnon as a nation lies mostly poitically left. Curnon's Grand cabinet is made up entirely of Left wing Micronationalists. Curnon is very Progressive as well, Half of the Grand Cabinet is radically progressive.
Curnon is a very welcoming nation to the LGTBQ+ community. Any Curno citizen harrasing others for no other reason than LGTBQ+ will face immediate blacklisting, and possibly public shaming.
(Many have confused Curnon's flag with being a pride flag, but it is not)

Micronational Foriegn Policy
We are open for and always welcome any diplomatic talks with other micronations, and will gladly speak with you. We will NOT join your micronation in any way, we will NOT combine with your micronation to form one Micronation! No Empire, No Clan, No Union, No Commonwealth. We accept joining alliances*, and our leader joining discord servers, and/or sharing of micronational information, although this will only happen after a background check.
Asa absolutely will study your micronation, website, way of speaking, general information, etc.
Asa will likely be happy to see your nation, and we are very friendly to other micronations, as long as you are NOT neo-nazis, rebels against a macronation, trying to take over the world, or who do not pass a background check. We are happy to talk with you and your nation, advising you to start/improve your country, to showing you why to get a website. Asa wants to learn about fellow small micronations and will try to chat with you about your nation now and then.
Anyway, thank you for reading this all!

Example of our Basic Diplomatic relations Document
MicroCon 2023 Logo
Microcon 2023, Joliet Illinois
Microcon is a biennial event that was held in Joliet, Illinois on June-July 2023, and we were in attendance at the event, with some of the youngest leaders out of anyone along with Asa Ward
Asa Ward (Main Leader) of Curnon is 14 years old, was one of 3 attendees in the Curnon delegate, and has been the Main Leader of this nation for all of Curno's History.
Daniel Gomez (Co-Leader) attended MicroCon2023 under his own Micronation, Dostykstan.
MicroCon is a summit of micronationalists. The Main Leader of Curnon has attended Microcon2023, and gave Kevin Baugh (President of Molossia) two certificates of gratitude at the vent. Asa has gotten a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbon (3rd Place with the Adhoc's in Trivia, Second place in frisbee discus, and first place in soccer) for the Micronational Olympics.
The event was an unforgettable experience. This nation made contact with the leaders of micronations such as Westarctica, Molossia Ladonia, and Aerica. We have also met smaller nations such as Dostykstan, Belmoor, and Maristan. The Main leader plans to attend Microcon 2025, and possibly PoliNation 2024!
"The Only Reason I wouldn't go to Microcon 2025 is if I'm dead" (An actual quote from Asa Ward)
MicroCon 2023 attending Micronations run by children: Curnon, Hankland, Dostykstan, and Maristan.
There were 4 Micronations run by children under 15 years of age that attended MicroCon2023. Less than a year later, all of them have been hit with challenges the majority have fallen from. Only Curnon and Dostykstan remain in any relevant essence.
Hankland: Gone like dust. The first to fall was Hankland, this was because the leader simply lost interest, and had no intent on a real, dedicated Micronation. He is known as "The Benjistan of Microcon2023"
Dostykstan: Dostykstan has been doing relatively poorly. Due to a loss in citizens, the Leader being in another micronation, the Meaning of the micronation losing its founding meaning, difficulty in passing bills in their senate, and more Daniel Gomez has legitimately considered Dissolving Dostykstan. They will likely go through a radical change relatively soon, as if they are a different micronation, only keeping the Leader, Name, and Flag. The road ahead is misty and the future is uncertain for Dostykstan, we have and will keep trying to help our ally stay around and functional.
Maristan: Maristan is effectively gone. Due to a "Civil War" caused by Mari losing an election over differing political beliefs in the nation, and Mari distancing herself from the micronational community, Maristan has lost allies, and fallen into inactivity. Mari has claimed to not have the time or creativity to keep Maristan going for multiple months, and now this micronation only exists in her mind as a side project.
"They [Maristan] say they exist, but they don't." (Ward, M-n-M Podcast)
Less than 2 Months after MicroCon2023, both nations named after the leader fell. this simply shows why not to name a Micronation after yourself.
