Hyperborean Ice-Demon Freezes Ireland

HYPERBOREA, SHIREROTH - It seems that, when you are researching micronational myths and legends, it may not be best to speak aloud the name of any sensitive deities or demons, just in case they see it as open invitation to wreak havoc shortly afterwards.

This unfortunate sequence of events occurred last week, apparently as a consequence of a meeting between two Hyperboreans, Scott of Hyperborea and Eoin Dornan, which took place somewhere is deepest, darkest Ireland.

It has been admitted that, during the meeting, the name of Jogri Temyyyutsion, King of the Ice-Demons, was forgetfully spoken aloud in place of his safer winter pseudonym "Oin Suilar", which was effectively an invitation for him to expand his "icy reign" across the seas to all of Ireland.

Banishment of the Ice-Demon may prove to be troublesome, as the only potential rituals are to be found in the legendary "Cold Rain Book", which itself has proven to be entirely imaginary.

In the meantime, climate experts have warned that the anticipated duration of the supernatural freeze of "three times three times three days" may prove to be rather optimistic.

Treesia Celebrates Its Fifth Anniversary

HALBERD LIGHTHOUSE, SOVEREIGN ORDER OF TREESIA - Treesia celebrated its fifth anniversary today and the event was celebrated in style with key supporters being honoured with some unique awards.

Although it was originally founded back in the mists of micronational history by the infamous Thomas Hubert, it was refounded as the Barony of Treesia and Fabon on October 20th 2000 by Eoin Dornan, following a successful coup backed by the long-defunct Republic of Blackrock. Following a very successful period of expansion as the United Baronies, the focus in recent months has been as the Sovereign Order of Treesia, concentrating on preserving its heritage and co-founding the Grand Commonwealth.

The celebratory awards comprised the following honours:

The Medallion of the Orchids was awarded to Sir Thomas Cutterham in "recognition of his creative work for the Treesian Unorthodox Church", the Collar of Carradu was awarded to Sir Cesare Agosto for his "tenacious talents in the footballing arena", the Standard of the March Breeze was awarded to Sir Ardashir Osmani, for his efforts in "daring to invade Treesia every year for four years", the Golden Belt of Cynos was awarded to Squire Lachlan Powers for co-creating the Grand Commonwealth, while the Shield of the Silver Hind was awarded to Sir Eoin Dornan for "making it all possible in the first place".

Sovereign Order Finally Chooses Its Chairman

HALBERD LIGHTHOUSE, S.O. TREESIA - Following what may be one of the most protracted votes ever in micronational history (with nominations having started back in May), Eoin Dornan has been overwhelmingly elected as the first Chairman of the Sovereign Order of Treesia.

Dornan founded and led the original Barony of Treesia and Fabon in October 2000, when the world looked very different, and is currently Prime Minister of Attera. He was elected from a list of three candidates, which included former cleric J John Herueus and Grand Chancellor Sir Iain de Vembria.

Chairman Dornan was unavailable for comment at time of press, but he is expected to fulfil his duties with as much dedication as he gave to Treesia as Ard-Baron, and without unduly impinging on all the other things he gets up to, which you can read all about in his no-holds-barred Livejournal.

Formula Z Roars Into Aerlig!

The second race of Formula Z's inaugural season took place in this morning's summer sunshine by the Bay of Ersenil. The tight and twisty nature of the track proved a challenge for all the drivers and teams, but the finish saw Knightrider Racing and its two drivers, Eoin (Sexy Helmet) Dornan and Iain de Vembria, take a decisive lead in teams' championship, while Trevon Anderosel of Nanite Racing heads the Drivers' Championship.

Meanwhile a Steward's Enquiry into the first race in Attera has uncovered a technical problem which resulted in the misreporting of lap positions. The results for that race have been recalculated and republished, and have also been incorporated in the cumulative leaderboards shown below.

The official results are as follows:
