TheLeague of Secessionist States (LoSS;LOSS) is a dormant,Internet-based[1]intermicronational organisation that exists "to promote intermicronational communication and partnership, and serves to act as a supramicronational, impartial Body where such a need for one may exist." Initially established on 26 November 1980 by Robert B. Madison, self-proclaimed king of theKingdom of Talossa, it was reestablished in April 1996 during a "micronational boom" on the Internet. It was the principal intermicronational organisation on the Internet between 1997 and at least 2000.

History

[edit]

The League of Secessionist States (LoSS) was founded on 26 November 1980 by Robert B. Madison, self-proclaimed king of theKingdom of Talossa, during his childhood.[2][3] It was originally an alliance between threemicronations in opposition towards a fourth. After 1983, the LoSS became inactive.[2] In April 1996, during a "micronational boom" on theInternet, Madison reestablished the LoSS and accepted four member states.[2][4] With all activity based online, the league was one of several intermicronational organisations founded during this boom.[5] Its website states that its goal is "to promote intermicronational communication and partnership, and serves to act as a supramicronational, impartial Body where such a need for one may exist."[6] Between 1997 and at least 2000, it was the most prominent intermicronational organisation on the Internet.[4][7] In January 2005, the league had over 30 member states, and was described in an issue ofInformation Today as "sort of aUnited Nations forimaginary countries."[8] On 25 August 2007, another intermicronational organisation, the League of Micronations, merged into the League of Secessionist States.[9] As of 2011, the LoSS claimed to have some 40 member states.[10]
