CSR Celebrates Second Anniversary

The Commonwealth of Sayvillian Regions (CSR) celebrated its second anniversary today.

Formally called "Pan-Sayvillian Unity Day," January 7 is a Commonwealth-wide holiday that celebrates unity between the Sayvillian regions (i.e. the Empire of Sayville, Kingdom of Sayville, Kingdom of West Sayville, and Dominion of Sayville) and signifies the anniversary of the Commonwealth's foundation on NationStates, which occurred on January 7, 2019.

To celebrate the occasion, Charles, King of the Sayvillians, released a statement focusing on identity and community in the CSR; the statement can be accessed here.

EOS, KOS, and KWS officials also approved several amendments to the Treaty of the Sayvilles, which was originally ratified on this day one year ago. The treaty was amended to improve the wording of some articles and to introduce a French translation of the treaty, in keeping with the Commonwealth's efforts to promote bilingualism.

The Summer in Review

As Summer comes to a close, the SBC reflects on some of the notable events that have transpired in the Dominion and our fellow associates in the Commonwealth of Sayvillian Regions these past few months. Explained below are some of the noteworthy events that occurred in June through early September. New CSR Flags and Coats of Arms Starting in late Spring and early Summer, CSR regions began redesigning their flags to incorporate symbolism more representative of their communities. Central among these was a modified version of the traditional purple-white-gold Pan-Sayvillian tricolor, which served as a basis for the flags of the Kingdom of Sayville, Kingdom of West Sayville, and even the Commonwealth's flag. These designs were released to the general public on June 13, 2020, with the Empire of Sayville releasing their own redesigns a few days prior on June 6. The Dominion of Sayville opted against redesigning their Red Ensign (the Dominion's "officially unofficial" flag).

Political Activism on the Rise in Macronational Sayville

Earlier this month, Vincent Vertuccio (a prominent macronational activist in the Sayville area and resident of the micronational Dominion of Sayville), held an informal roundtable on macronational Sayville's history, demographics, and social issues relevant to its community members. The event offered micronational Sayvillians a chance to learn more about their macronational counterparts, especially regarding social and political issues. The roundtable was held in the backdrop of the upcoming US presidential election, an event that has interested many in the community. From Black Lives Matter protests to Back the Blue marches, macronational Sayvillians have taken a keen interest in political activism, especially among those who believe now is an opportune moment to advocate for change in the area. Activism is also present on social media, where community members -- especially teenagers and young adults -- post about political issues that concern them. While their comments are emblem

CSR Officials Sign Memorandum of Understanding

Representatives from the Empire of Sayville, Kingdom of Sayville, Kingdom of West Sayville, and the Dominion of Sayville signed a memorandum of understanding this past Tuesday. The memorandum clarifies the Dominion of Sayville's status in the Commonwealth of Sayvillian Regions and the Sayvillian micronational community. It was drafted in lieu of amendments made to the Treaty of the Sayvilles in January, a treaty the DOS is unable to sign given its non-sovereign status. The agreement recognizes the Dominion as "a legitimate, albeit non-sovereign, Sayvillian region and micronation" that "is to be treated as an equal member of the Commonwealth of Sayvillian Regions, except in areas where Dominion and/or Powhatan law stipulate otherwise." It also states that "Officials from the Dominion of Sayville are to be afforded the same dignity..." as those from other Sayvillian regions in CSR discussions.
