Mr. Secretary General,
Esteemed Delegates,
Polish micronationalists,

The Holy Empire of Réunion is a micronation which was established in 1996, and which has become independent in August, 1997. Our website is at http://www.reuniao.org and our Imperial Chancellery (office in charge of our foreign affairs) can be visited at http://www.reuniao.org/chancelaria.

We have come out a period of Partial Isolationism very recently, and our new Diplomatic Policy is oriented towards the cooperation and interaction with all the micronational linguistic sectors, specially the POLISH and GERMAN ones. We really believe that micronationalism as a movement will gain strength and fame with the full interaction and cooperation amongst all its linguistic sectors. Isolationism is, in our thought, a stupid policy.

Réunion has 242 citizens as of now, as you can all see at our mailing list CHANDON, at http://www.reuniao.org/listachandon. We are a modelist micronation, that is to say, we mix some fantasious characteristics with real world situations. Also, we have become much more than a virtual nation, as you can see from the pictures of last saturday annual meeting of Réunian citizens from Brazil and Portugal, at http://www.reuniao.org/photos/megaencontro/santarelli and http://www.reuniao.org/photos. We are also a notable micronation, as you can see from all the newspapers and magazines around the world which have mentioned or pictured us within their pages, at http://www.reuniao.org/media.

We really believe that we must play our part on bringing our peoples and sectors together. And for that we apply for membership at the OPM. We have the difficulty with the language, but we have our hearts that have great intentions, and our curriculum to speak for us, and also, the friendship of great polish micronationalists that are present here.

We need your support to join OPM as a first effort to contact all the polish micronations and to become a liaison from the anglophone/lusophone world to the polish world.

Also, we are aware that it may be needed to add polish as an official language of our country, and that can be done, if necessary.

We have a lot to contribute, BUT much more to learn from all of you.

This is why I hereby ask for your support.

Thank you very much.

In true micronationalism,

SSMI Cláudio Primeiro
Imperador de Reunião
