Hamilton has served as a figurehead rags-to-riches individual not only in the Cupertino Alliance but also in the wider community. Since joining in July 2020, Hamilton has risen the ranks, initially being appointed as Deputy Minister of Asian and Oceanic affairs on 30 September 2020 and later being upgraded to Minister of Asian and Oceanic affairs on 6 November 2020. Hamilton was also the first individual to declare their candidacy in the Chair elections, during which he held the lion’s share of votes by dominating the polls until December 2020. Even afterwards Hamilton continued to put up a true fight against opponent Ross until he eventually dropped out on 4 January 2021. To quote the song Resist by RUSH:
“You can fight, fight without ever winning. But never really win, win without a fight.”
This quote reflects Hamilton’s commitments to the Chair elections: his persistence and ambition made the elections much more competitive and difficult for the other candidates (and I say this for all of them).
Hamilton hasn’t been chosen solely based on these reasons alone, but as part of persistent ambition, professionalism, perseverance and activity within the Cupertino Alliance and the wider micronational community. His constant attitude towards the Cupertino Alliance is something that the rest of us can only look up to.[1]
