Happy Dominion Day!

Furthermore, by my right as the High King of Powhatan, I do hereby declare Dominion Day a national Holiday as Sayville Day, to be celebrated through this realm.

Statement from Theodore Porter, Governor-General of the Dominion of Sayville:

As a new resident of the DOS, I still feel like I have much to learn about this community and its people but I love to know that the Dominion is flourishing so beautifully and becoming a true paradise for myself and others and wish to share my feelings of enjoyment towards this Dominion and its people. So to all fellow residents new and old, thank you for being a part of this great Dominion and being amazing people I have got to know. Happy Dominion Day!

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.

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.

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.
