If we'd really like to find out who's behind the Principality of New Texas, other than their diplomatic envoys, I just saw on Ebay, that they are selling their passports there. To get your own details in the passport, you'd have to join the micronation too....
The Principality of Sealand issued passports once before as well. The result? People used them for travel. Then people forged them and used the forgeries for travel.
The last thing we need is a terrorist entering, or attempting to enter a country with a passport that bears our name on it. Established countries issue passports to citizens who can be verified as being legitimate citizens. Registering with an online form and sending a picture isn't really a great verification method.

Mr. Edwards, did you notice, that on their website they have an Owen Edwards as their Honorary Vice-consul in the UK... Are you undercover there, in this "war" they declared???
At least there was no mention of this "micronational" war in their video, which was quite a laugh to see!
Have a look see at
Maybe Talossa should do a video too of it's beautiful scenery?
I would but the witty reference wasn't made within the Province of Benito (or even on our boards). I suppose you'll just have to settle for my heartfelt applause. *clap clap*

59 is an important number - keep it prime in the thoughts of Talossa

There is a good and useful purpose for these types of documents, as long as they are used as camouflage and that you only use proper documents to enter a country.
When I was working in the middle east for a couple of years, I carried (and still have) a passport for Dutch Guiana (independent as Suriname since 1975) which I believe I purchased from this company, along with various other supporting documents: www.camouflagepassports.net/camouflage_passports.htmlThey are not making the camouflage ones anymore, but you can apparently now can get legitimate banking or diplomatic passports there.
The main purpose for carrying this is to hand to the nice man in the ski mask with the AK-47 shouting at you in arabic when he decides your plane should go in a different direction than scheduled. By not being perceived as American, your survival chances are enhanced.
A Talossan Passport could be useful (to go along with the fine identification cards that have been previously produced). I know I could talk alot more background about Talossa than I could about Dutch Guiana...
Camouflage passports may be technically legal, but they definitely blur the line (just like police-style badges that say "Concealed Weapons Permit"). I understand the theory, but I'd like someone to cite an instance where a person presented a hijacker with a camouflage passport and was spared from harm because of it.
No such instance exists. Their great use exists only in potentiality.
Do we want Talossa to be numbered among Dutch Guiana, British Honduras and other countries that have been used for camouflage passports?
