Greetings and welcome to the Free Republic of Rocentia. Rocentia is a micronation founded by Kenneth K. Thacker, Peter S. Hickey, Michael Phyle, Terry Clare, Peter Krembs, Daniel Dreesbach, Nation Hahn and Jack Santucci on December 11, 2000, with the goal of creating a true virtual democracy with realistic simulations in politics, economy, business, military sciences, media and an interactive society. Below you will find links that will allow you to explore our nation. We hope that you will enjoy your stay with us whether you are considering immigration or just vacationing.

We have a constitution and a government based on democratic principles. We hold periodic elections for both national and state governments but, unlike electoral simulations, the governments we elect actually do something -- discuss, debate, enact and enforce legislation to govern a simulated nation and its population. There are also interesting social and economic aspects to the Rocentian project.
Rocentia was founded on December 11, 2000, by a group of micronationalists who had become disgusted with the state of affairs in various other micronations in which they had previously been citizens. All too often, micronations can be nothing more than extensions of the egos of their founders and/or leading citizens, or even worse, platforms for the political propaganda of various stripes of extremists, ranging from out-and-out Fascists on the extreme right to uncompromising Communists on the far left. Another problem with many micronations involves the lack of civility among their citizens. Political differences all too often devolve into personal feuds and flame wars, replete with insults and character assassination.
Rocentia seeks to transcend these pitfalls to create a truly interesting political, social and economic simulation where anyone who wishes to belong to and participate in such a simulation may do so freely and without the hassles endemic to all too many micronations. The citizens of Rocentia fully intend to build the Free Republic into a shining example of what micronationry can and should be. We invite any person of good will who shares our vision and goals to join us!
For Democracy, Peter S. Hickey |
