Jamzinia The First Days
First edition
By Keith Colley.
Jamzinia began life on the 12th August 2005. A young man named James Williams had sat and watched the T.V show “ How to start your own country” by Danny Wallace. James then joined the forum, like many other soon to be Micronationalists had done around the same time. But James soon grew tired of the whole concept of Lovely. It was obviously a publicity stunt used only to bring Danny Wallace fame. But not many other people realized the spin Danny Wallace had caused and soon they were posting in their thousands. James sat down and a plan started to hatch in his head, soon he started to devise a plan. Jamzinia was born and with it a whole new type of micronation was to be created, it would be perfect.
Through the evening and into the night of August 12th James started putting things together. A website, a flag and a constitution were the first things to be created. Then the moment arrived, the moment of the first King of Jamzinia. James announced himself the King James I. It was on this night King James found his first citizens and started work on the first constitution which can be found on page.
By August 19th King James and Jamzinia had built that much of a reputation in the micronational world that James was actually approached to sell the nation. He quickly refused though and carried on with construction of his amazing new nation. King James then published the Constitution on 27th August which read.
The Jamzinian Constitution
The following is the Written Constitution for Jamzinia, It will be subject to change only after a new law is approved by the King. The King shall be the ONLY person who has the power and authority to alter this Constitution therefore these laws will be on a permanent basis unless stated otherwise by The King, and shall be abided by, by all Citizens of This Country. If any Citizen breaks any of these laws, they shall be dealt with by the King and citizenship may be withdrawn. These laws will be for the country of Jamzinia. Theses laws will take place when Jamzinia have acquired an island or other piece of land, the laws will apply to all areas of Jamzinia and to all Jamzinian citizens.
The King is, and will remain the leader of this country, and will rule the country on a supreme Monarchy basis.
There shall be NO government in this country, therefore no President or Prime minister shall exist.
Laws will only be approved by The King himself.
There will be two main forces guarding King and country, these will be The royal guards service (RGS) and the National guards service (NGS).
The RGS will personally protect the King and Royalty, and citizens with extreme importance. The RGS will consist of only Elite Guards with experience and trust.
The NGS will also assist the RGS in their tasks but will mainly ensure no laws are broken and will deal with international affairs. They will also act as a police force for the nation, and will not be so highly trained as the RGS.
Both the RGS and NGS will have authority over citizens, but not over the King and Royalty.
The King will have the final word over the NGS and RGS actions and will have authority to instruct them.
Only Citizens and people invited by the king will be aloud in the country of Jamzinia. Anyone who is on Jamzinian territory illegally will be sent to the king escorted by three NGS guards and one RGS guard. The King will then deal with that person, with what ever actions he deems necessary.

The Licence shall be bought from the King and will cost £28 per year. Cannabis will only be bought from the King, and anyone found selling it will be stripped of their Jamzinian Citizenship or held in Jail, possibly even tortured.
The King shall decide upon the length of period a citizen who is an offender spends in Jail, if the citizen has committed an extreme act, torture will take place following approval by the king.
When dealing with citizens who break laws, there are five options for the king to decide, either; Imprisonment, Community Service, Exportation, Light Torture and Heavy Torture.
Light Torture will be for crimes that are small and not dangerous, this form of torture will mainly be mental - for example being kept awake for twenty four hours solid then starved for two days. Or maybe being stripped of their clothes and given a T shirt and shorts labeling them a criminal, and then being put in the stocks for 5 hours solid.
Heavy Torture will be such things as being lagged for forty eight hours - This is being forced to stand on a log in the sea for 48 hours with only water. You will then be made to do 25 or more hours of community service. Such punishments will be taken towards harsh, dangerous crimes. PS- All forms of torture will ONLY be carried out if the suspect is 100% Guilty.

Description of Yourself
*Email Address
By October 2005, Jamzinia had 40 joinee citizens. It was at this point that King James began to see into the real world of micronationalism - a stage in Jamzinia's life where it was no longer a joke of a nation, but a stage where it was begginning to take issues seriously. New message boards were put in place, and citizens were urged to register
King James I. opened the forums at 8:20 am on Friday the 7th October 2005 with the statement.
“Hello everyone that visits these boards, thanks for taking the time to do so, please remember that these boards are relatively new, therefore not many citizens of Jamzinia are aware of them yet.
Thanks, and remember to post a message, anything.. That you would like to bring up… or create a thread.
King James I of Jamzinia”
King James published this piece on the 26th October
The Currency has been decided, and it will be a system of rewarding loyalty and commitment, well for the moment at least as this will obviously change once we relocate to an island.
The system will be the Jamzinian Dollar, and will be represented by the use if these symbols together- *$
So for example if a citizen has 5 Jamzinian Dollars, it will be written as *$5.
The Jamzinian dollar will be given to citizens in the folowing quantities -
Extreme Loyalty and commitment - *$2500
Extreme Commitment - *$1000
Extreme Loyalty - *$500
Improved Commitment and Loyalty - *$500
Carrying out their Role with great success - *$450
Carrying out their job to a satisfactory standard - *$200
A new suggestion that is used - *$ 100
Carrying out Jury duties - *$ 100
Suggestion that is not used - *$ 50
Donation under £10 or equivilent - *$ 400
Donation between £11 - £25 or equivilent - *$ 650
Donation between £26 - £100 or equivilent - *$2500
Donation over £100 or equivilent - *$ 5000
The Citizen's totals will be updated every two weeks on the Status page. The money that the citizen holds can be used for various things, but mainly will be used to represent the amount of power a citizen has. For example only certain citizens may participate in certain votes of importance such as elections of a new party leader, and it will be only the richer citizens that are able to participate as they are the citizens who have worked hard in Jamzinia. Another change to be introduced also will be the availability of roles for citizens depending on the citizens worth. The Price / Requirements list will be displayed on the Price Lists shortly.
December 2005 saw the joining of Keith, Andrew and Jamie who along with Todd became the first active citizens in Jamzinia.
First edition

Jamzinia began life on the 12th August 2005. A young man named James Williams had sat and watched the T.V show “ How to start your own country” by Danny Wallace.

History Of Our Nation
The life of our country began on the 12th August 2005. The country was created as an Alternative to any other countries that arent very good, In this Nation, Citizens are Happy, Respectable, Genuine, Nice , Loyal and Good people. So no matter what age you are aslong as you are these things you may become a citizen of our Great - Unnamed nation. On the evening of the 12th of August a peace treaty was agreed between Newer England and our country, and the two countries became allies. (Negiations on this agreement are currently being concluded). New Citizens continued to join through the night. On the morning of the 13th August 2005, It was announced that the country had hired a PM, the first PM in it's History - Nicola Brown. Our Nation is still seeking an Island, and is currently in negotiations with a 3rd party. Our nation is still yet to be named, and yet to have a flag, laws, etc. But we are in the process of selecting these, and we require your help, for suggestions and comments, and any ideas.

Description of Yourself
*Email Address
By October 2005, Jamzinia had 40 joinee citizens. It was at this point that King James began to see into the real world of micronationalism - a stage in Jamzinia's life where it was no longer a joke of a nation, but a stage where it was begginning to take issues seriously. New message boards were put in place, and citizens were urged to register
King James I. opened the forums at 8:20 am on Friday the 7th October 2005 with the statement.
“Hello everyone that visits these boards, thanks for taking the time to do so, please remember that these boards are relatively new, therefore not many citizens of Jamzinia are aware of them yet.
Thanks, and remember to post a message, anything.. That you would like to bring up… or create a thread.
King James I of Jamzinia”
King James published this piece on the 26th October
The Currency has been decided, and it will be a system of rewarding loyalty and commitment, well for the moment at least as this will obviously change once we relocate to an island.
The system will be the Jamzinian Dollar, and will be represented by the use if these symbols together- *$
So for example if a citizen has 5 Jamzinian Dollars, it will be written as *$5.
The Jamzinian dollar will be given to citizens in the folowing quantities -
Extreme Loyalty and commitment - *$2500
Extreme Commitment - *$1000
Extreme Loyalty - *$500
Improved Commitment and Loyalty - *$500
Carrying out their Role with great success - *$450
Carrying out their job to a satisfactory standard - *$200
A new suggestion that is used - *$ 100
Carrying out Jury duties - *$ 100
Suggestion that is not used - *$ 50
Donation under £10 or equivilent - *$ 400
Donation between £11 - £25 or equivilent - *$ 650
Donation between £26 - £100 or equivilent - *$2500
Donation over £100 or equivilent - *$ 5000
The Citizen's totals will be updated every two weeks on the Status page. The money that the citizen holds can be used for various things, but mainly will be used to represent the amount of power a citizen has. For example only certain citizens may participate in certain votes of importance such as elections of a new party leader, and it will be only the richer citizens that are able to participate as they are the citizens who have worked hard in Jamzinia. Another change to be introduced also will be the availability of roles for citizens depending on the citizens worth. The Price / Requirements list will be displayed on the Price Lists shortly.
December 2005 saw the joining of Keith, Andrew and Jamie who along with Todd became the first active citizens in Jamzinia.
