'''Joseph Puglisi''' is the [[List of heads of state of Tiana|4th]] and current [[President of Tiana|President]] of [[Tiana]]. He also serves as Chairman of the [[Communist Party of Tiana]], and has served numerous terms as both President and [[Prime Minister of Tiana|Prime Minister]] of the Republic of Tiana. He has been a notable political figure in Tiana throughout the nation's existence as an independent state, and an equally notable figure intermicronationally.

== Biography ==

Puglisi was born in 1996, on [[w:Long Island|Long Island, New York]], to working-class parents of [[w:Italian-American|Italian]] ancestry.

Puglisi's interest in [[micronationalism]] and nation projects began at a young age, but he entered the micronational community in 2010. Puglisi's micronational career has involved political roles in numerous micronations, including the [[Republic of Tiana]], [[Sultanate of Hakka]], [[Kingdom of Zealandia]], [[Kingdom of Juclandia]], [[State of Sandus]], [[Zonian Confederacy]], [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis]], [[Kozuc|Kozuc Khanate]], [[Danesland|Democratic People's Republic of Danesland]], [[Federal Republic of BlueSkies]] and [[Students' Isocratic Oligarchy of Yabloko]]. He has held administrative positions in numerous micronational discussion outlets, including [[MicroWiki]] - a website, [[Micronational Skype rooms#MicroPub|MicroPub]] - a Skype group, and MicroGroup - a Facebook group.

== Political views ==

[[File:PuglisiPoliticalCompass.png|thumb|left|150px|Joseph's Puglisi's position on the political compass]]

Joseph Puglisi has described himself as both a [[w:Marxism|Marxist]] and a [[w:Libertarian socialism|libertarian socialist]] for years. He has been known to be critical of both [[w:Capitalism|capitalism]] and [[w:Statism|statism]] - which he describes as "inextricably linked". Puglisi is also an ardent [[w:Internationalism|internationalist]], and has criticized [[w:Nationalism|nationalism]] as "short-sighted, divisive, and dangerous". He is also firmly socially libertarian - being a fervent proponent of civil liberties, gay rights, gun rights, freedom of religion, and unlimited freedom of speech.

While Puglisi has been critical of modern American domestic and foreign policy, Puglisi has praised the United States of the 18th and 19th centuries as being "historically a bastion of freedom... a haven for radicals and freethinkers... far ahead of its time, in comparison to the despotic monarchies which plagued Europe at the time".

== Religious views ==

Puglisi has described his religious views variously as [[w:Atheism|atheism]], [[w:Agnosticism|agnosticism]], and [[w:Secular humanism|secular humanism]]. Puglisi has cited the [[w:New Atheism|New Atheist]] movement as influential to his views on the relationship between religious and public affairs. Despite being generally critical of religion, Puglisi has stated his support for a form of "materialist spirituality", and described spirituality as a "deeply personal matter".
