Who is Talossa's greatest enemy/rival?

[Angus Mitchell]

Some other micronation? United States? Westphalian System? The Minnesota Vikings?

[Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN]

Talossans' natural enemies have always been Talossans, as our history demonstrates clearly.

At one point, yes, but we grew out of that.

United States? 

You mean our "Giant Friendly Neighbor"? Nah.

The Minnesota Vikings?

Probably yes. I heard that one of Green Bay's local radio stations edited out all of the references to the Minnesota Vikings on Lizzo's song "Truth Hurts"

I'd say that Talossa's greatest enemy is inactivity.

KR1 used to say that Talossan patriotism = activity, so you're probably onto something there.

Honestly, I think we should serve some respect to some of the other grand-dames of the Micronational hobby (I'm not only a Republican, but a Peculiarist). The Holy Empire of Reunion has been around and active since 1997, for example. I met a lot of great people via my work with the League of Secessionist States and the like.

Reunion's still going? Hot damn! Is Claude still the Emperor?

I'm pretty sure it is.  Their English site is dead, but the Portuguese one seems in excellent repair.  Also, their yahoo group is active. 

It looks like he is, as well.

We have no enemies/rivals because we are isolationist. People need to know you exsist before they can start a rivalry with you.

It would be interesting if someone started a political party on the platform of "End isolationism, pick fights with other Talossa-like entities! GRRRRRRivalry!"

Damn too real, too real. The 2005 message board interface doesn't help.

I think a lot of us stick around specifically for the message board, though.

You'll be pleased to know the Government is busy setting up to migrate off this rickety contraption (which was founded by King Robert I in late 2004 after the Talossan Republic "occupied" the previous Wittenberg)

*Has been busy setting up to migrate.

How long ago was that first proposed?
