What is a micro nation?

"A micronation is a small area or political entity that claims national sovereignty but is not recognized by other sovereign states. Through law loopholes, micronations should technically be considered sovereign independent states."

U.M.S.M. Meaning:

Basic info
The U.M.S.M. is a country with an acronym for its name. It stands for "The United Military States of the Moon". We have the moon in our name, because of our famous land claim on the moon.


Grünlandstadt

The U.M.S.M. is located in 5 different locations or states as we call them. The first one is the state of Grünlandstadt, which translates into "Grassland City" from German. The state is run by Supreme Chancellor Eddie Conversi

BENTonia

The second state is Bentonia. Founded on 3/7/21 it is the 2nd largest state in the U.M.S.M. The state is run by the Brigadier General of the Armed Forces Ben Ellis IV. 

MoonCASTLE

The third state is Mooncastle. Location of the bi-annual Supreme Cabinet feast. It claims Lindenwood Park in Saint Louis Missouri. This state is run by  the Commander of Security Zach Bailey. 


Ragrad

​The fourth state is Ragrad, named after Ra, the sun god. Ragrad is an uninhabited 10-foot by 10-foot land on the moon.
​This state is run by the Commander of Religion and Sciences. Ragrad is the smallest state in the U.M.S.M.


​dYTUSSTIEN 

​The fifth state is Dytusstien. Run by Supreme General of the Armed Forces Rafe Schmitz, Dytusstien is the military state of the U.M.S.M. Aerial view here:

MOonvia

The sixth and final state is Moonvia, this is the capital of the U.M.S.M. and is run by and where the Supreme Leader lives.
​The U.M.S.M. is a sovereign independent military dictatorship nation. Our currency is the "Moon Ruble", however, shops will also take USD and trades. We also hold the unofficial title of the only micronation in Saint Louis. ​We strive to let our citizens prosper while also protecting and maintaining nature. We value teamwork, friendship, and just plain old fun!

calendar

The U.M.S.M. uses a different calendar than the Gregorian calendar. We use the Moonvian Calendar. This calendar has 13 months, 28 days in each month, with a day at the end and leap day at the end (for leap years) in order to bring the total of days to 365 or 366 respectively. You can see below our complete calendar and how to calculate the date accordingly.
However, The U.M.S.M.'s year is also different, based around the invention of the wheel. So take the Gregorian year and add 3,500 to get the Moonvian year.

​Lyrics:
​
What will the future hold?
How will I be rewarded? 
Have I the right to riches, in a world where there are no prizes?
Who makes the clock tick by? 
When will my fate be ready? 
Do I get prior warning?
 Am I told, are there no surprises?
I have to count my blessings.
 I have to learn my lessons.
 My fate is in the balance.
​I must go on believing!
