In Clyro’s past, the establishment of the Summer Solstice as a national holiday was to instil a sense of unity and goodwill in the midsummer, to build upon the nascent pseudo-Celtic culture developing in the Theodorist Regional Dominion of Burnham & its Land (TRDB&L). On the second anniversary of the establishment of the Summer Solstice (21st June) as a national holiday, that goodwill was extended to leading members of the UK Micronational scene, as HL Richard I toured London alongside the prominent Micronationalists Emperor Jonathan I of Austenasia; Dr Sebastian Linden, Governor of the Canton of Rudno in Francisville; and James von Puchow of Landashir.
Educational, political and religious discourse were the orders of the day, as HL Richard I, the Austenasian Emperor and the Landashirn Community delegate toured the City of London, Tower Bridge and neighbouring parks, and also perused the sights of the Great British Museum, before meeting up with the Rudnan Governor avec partner and beginning full discussion on the finer points of linguistics, doctrines of belief and the macronational exam season, which is still a looming threat for some in the Micronational Community. The day concluded with a balanced conversation in Stratford International train station on civic nationalism and federalism.
The Summer Solstice was well spent, much goodwill was given and received, and much jollity was had. Congratulations to James von Puchow, who was made a subject of the Austenasian Crown (the act of which was documented on film), and commiserations to those Micronationalists who could not make this event.
