The Jalaur River Territorial Management Office (JRTM) was an Arlandican government agency responsible for protecting, managing, and recognizing the territorial claims of micronations in the Jalaur River, in accordance with the Jalaur River Territorial Management Agreement signed by the governments of Arlandica and Hesminia. However, it was abolished on October 7 through Resolution No. 4, passed by the Central Committee of the Santo Niño Cooperation Union (SNCU), of which both countries are members. The resolution declares the agreement null and void.
Despite being linked to the Arlandican government, JRTM is considered an international agency because it serves other micronations that have claims in the area.
Purpose
Its primary purpose was to protect, manage, and recognize the territorial claims of micronations in the Jalaur River.
It was headed by an Arlandican administrator appointed by the monarch. It had a staff of citizens from other micronations, especially the claimants, to prevent Arlandica-centric decision-making. The agency conducted mapping and annual census activities to delineate and document territorial claims in the area.
Territorial Integrity of Claimants
The agency respected and recognized the claims of micronations in the area. It did not intervene in the laws implemented by the claimants within their borders, as long as they did not harm the claims of other micronations.
Conflict Resolution
During times of conflict in the area, the first option was for JTRM to activate the Coalition forces, composed of the militaries and law enforcement agencies of the micronations who were claimants in the area. This occurred when a micronation without a certificate of recognition of their claims attacked a claimant recognized by the agency.
The activation of Coalition forces was initiated during the War in Jalaur River in January 2024. This organization of forces could continue through the agency, or alternatively, the conflict could be resolved through peaceful means.
Since the agency's dissolution on October 7, the area has been guarded by the SNCU's Joint Security Forces.
Certificate of Recognition
The Certificate of Recognition was a certificate issued by the agency to a micronation with claims in the area, representing the legality of such a claim.
Micronations could apply for a claim, but the agency prohibited claims that contradicted existing claims of other micronations in the area.
Representatives of micronations could apply for the Jalaur River territorial claim by sending a letter of intent through the official Facebook pages and accounts of the Arlandican government via Messenger, or by sending an email through their website.
Current situation
The following are the micronations that have claims in the Jalaur River (recognized by SNCU[a] and as of October 7, 2024):
- Kingdom of Arlandica:
- Corvalon Islands (Corvalon Island, Maputi Island, Ulysses Island, Garvel Island, Fatema Isle) – a territory under the Province of Galrea.
- Bayriven Islands and River Banks (Bayriven Island, Langley Island, Kensmoor Island, Nesters Island, Brentwi Island, Horrowby Island, Merdan Bank, Cotsford Bank, Levan Bank, including two to ten unnamed islands and rocks) – a territory under the Province of Galrea
