Yesterday, President Kit McCarthy of Mcarthia posted a thread stating that:
„In a shocking twist, the Grand Unified Micronational appears to be returning to the micronational stage.”
The GUM has apparently been inactive for a while, as well as it has been dissolved, and this has caused some worry among several nations in the community. It has been officially restarted by HIM Jonathan I of Austenasia, President Kit McCarthy of Mcarthia, and a few others. I, personally, was not around when it was at its peak, so i cant tell you much apart from the fact that its like a micronational UN. The actual UM was very inactive and went YAMO. The very missed organization is now slowly returning to the `stage` of micronations.
Today, MNews sat down with President Kit McCarthy of Mcarthia, to ask him some questions:
MN:Mr.Mcarthy, what purpose do you think the GUM will serve in the community?
KM:I think that the return of the GUM will serve a very important purpose. The community needs a focal point, especially amongst younger nations. There is a need for a central driving point of activity, to ensure Micronation.org doesn`t become stagnant. If it is is done carefully, I think that the New GUM will play a vital part in the next era of the community.
MN:Mr.McCarthy, how do you feel about the GUM arrival, are you exited?
KM:Indeed I am yes. As I say, if this goes well, there is huge potential for regrowth in the community.
MN:Why do you believe it was inactive for so long?
KM: Well, because there was never any movement to restart it. Restarting it was always possible, but no one seemed to believe it practical.
MN:Do you think it will have influence over other nations? As in,will it play a big role in ones government?
KM:As to that, I am not sure. It would certainly, however, be a mistake for the GUM to interfere unduly in other nation`s affairs.
Thank you Mr.McCarthy for youre time.
