August 2023 – Satoshi Gazette

Welcome to the first monthly edition of the Satoshi Gazette!

Each month we will publish a short summary of the latest news on Satoshi.

MicroCon 2023 EU

A three-person delegation including the Grand Miner President was sent to attend MicroCon 2023 EU.

For those who don’t know, MicroCon is a biennial micronation summit. Usually, it takes place in North America (until now in the USA and Canada) but this year the MicroCon committee has allowed a European summit alongside the American summit. The summit was hosted in a city name Ypres. One million people died in Ypres during World War 1, it was tragic. During MicroCon the Satoshi delegation went to the Menin Gate, a gate to honor the people who died in Ypres, and the Flanders Fields Museum the most well-known WW1 museum.

The Satoshi delegation rubbed shoulders with other delegates and had interesting chats with people like Arthur of Duckionary, Zar Antonov of Obscurium, Kevin Baugh of Molossia, Niels of Flandrensis, Travis of Westarctica and more! Presentations were also given on topics ranging from the media and press to micronational burnout. After that there was an award ceremony, and then a gala to end the day. The following day there were multiple tours planned. All around it was a success for Satoshi, friendships were forged and Satoshi will engage in micronational trade with the Principality of Sancratosia and the Newgraviate of Saint Castin.

The next MicroCon will take place in Montréal, Canada hosted by the Aerican Empire, Principality of Sancratosia, and the Newgraviate of Saint Castin.

Development of physical and online presence

The Government of Satoshi has recently been working on the online and physical presence of Satoshi, with flag pins, stamps, business cards, and more being produced. These items were also brought to MicroCon.

However, also the online presence of Satoshi is being improved, with a dovearchives page being made, and multiple state websites will be made and improved upon.
