The Holy Empire of Talconta was a nation originally located in the same area as its previous incarnations, the Grand Duchy of Talconta (May-October 2020) and The Communist Republic of Talconta (November-December 2020) which themselves were in the same location as Erik the reds land. It claimed Pluto, making it a galactic empire. On the 20th of December 2020 it extended its claims to all of Northeast Greenland National Park. On January 23rd 2021, the Emperor announced the creation of the Talcontan Council, an organization to decide on pressing matters such as owning Pluto and creating rockets because of the threat of a micronational world war. On the 26th of February, the Emperor announced that the nation is creating a test device that would have briefly orbited earth and later on a real device to capture footage of space. The Project would have been called Project-K (Knowledge). The same day, The Holy Empire dissolved.

Economy

There was no poor in the nation due to its low population.

Laws

Public opposition to the government was illegal. Citizens of the same sex could marry. The right to owning a gun for self defence was seen as vital. Citizens were made to swear allegiance at least once a week. Females could not join the military. Flying the flag of a nation that was not recognised by the government is illegal. People from the Empire of Austenasia were not allowed inside of the nation. People living in the nation without citizenship were not awarded any human rights as they are technically residing there illegally.

Foreign Relations

The nation was on good terms with the Republic of Femboy despite some question of it being classed as satirical between its leaders in December 2020.

Talcontan space agency

The Talcontan space agency was the nations space program. Its first project (Project-K) launched on the 26th of February 2021 and could have concluded as soon as 2022. It would have send a device into orbit briefly before flying back down to earth. A second device would be launched later on, this one with a camera to study the skies. If this project succeeded a 2nd Project would begin, if it happened, this project would go further to take pictures of the moon. This project would not have began until the mid-2020s though. If this mission succeeded another project would happen. This one would not come back down to earth for numerous days so it coukd take pictures of the atmosphere and record stunning videos. This project (if it even happened) would most likely have occured in the late 2020s/early 2030s.

Covid-19 response

No citizen of the nation had tested positive for Covid-19, to the relief of the emporor. He said that if a citizen tested positive, he would personally send them his apologies.

Military

The nations military was made up of British volunteers. It was unlikely they will ever be used in combat considering all of Talcontas politics were based online. Most of talcontas wars are fought via discord or a video game. The emporor said "In the case of a micronational world war in which potentially hundreds of micronations battle against each other, the Talcontan government would very most likely not join the war because our nations military is not big enough to convince a reasonable amount of soldiers be deployed overseas. Our military is mainly for defence, not attack. However, we would probably support one side over the other and show this through public speeches and even possibly summits to allied nations."

Economy

The economy was entirely funded by private business and was stable. Luckily, it was not affected by the Covid-19 recession.

Government Presence

Despite ruling it, the government was not actually based in The Empire of Talconta. It was based in its entirety in the United Kingdom. Its claim on Pluto is to ensure it is not colonised by Nasa or SpaceX.

Presence in micronational politics

The Empire of Talconta was Isolationist. It barely communicated to other micronations. MicroWiki is the only platform in which the nation can be learnt about.

Dissolution

The leader become agnostic, he considered changing the name of the nation, but ultimately decided to end the nation, and along with it, the run of nations named Talconta.
