The Parliamentary Collective of States, commonly abbreviated as the PCS, (founded as the United Micronations) was a de facto social group attempting to take the shape of an international micronational organization based on Discord. The organization was founded with the aim of conducting diplomatic relations between micronations and to mediate disputes. Founded on the 8th of June 2019, the PCS hit ~20 members on its second day. The PCS was highly unprofessional and became largely breeding grounds for disputes and hostile debating.
The original goal of the PCS was to become, not an organization, but a digitally hosted gathering point for micronations, taking inspiration from the MicroCon summits. Nevertheless, with weak organization, minimal planning, and incompetent leadership. That is not what it became.
History
Chris Ramsay along with co-founder, then King Brandon Mierzwa of Matachewan created the "United Micronations" on 8 June 2019, wrongly interpreting that this was a unique idea, and that nothing such of any notable degree did at that point exist. In the first week, the PCS had gained close to 30 members and was growing rapidly. This was owed to Chris' rampant advertisements. At the conclusion of the organization's earliest stage, it was contemplated by certain members to unite the group with the League of Micronations (LoMN); a seemingly established organization, however, this never occurred.
Roughly two weeks into the organization's creation, having been known until then as the United Micronations, it opted to change its name to the United Coalition of Unrecognized Nations. A charter was written thereafter, much inspired by the one of the LoMN, in turn inspired by the one of the United Nations.
When a member refused to obey the charter, she was confronted by either leaving or being ousted. Following this, a dispute occurred where it was argued that the president had no right to oust someone without conducting a vote which then had to reach a conventional majority. Due to the organization's lack of documentation, legislative and otherwise, laws to accommodate for such were never extant.
Around 20 June, the president and founder was deposed by popular vote. The incumbent vice president, Victor Scimitar, ascended to become president of the organization, continuously disputed by a spiteful Chris in the justification and legality that the deposition had. Later in the year, Scimitar, allegedly having no recollection of why the deposition had occurred in the first place, complied and handed the presidency back to Chris. The handover marked the beginning of the the organization's dissolution in late 2019.
Criticism
The PCS and its members both in individual and representative capacities were condemned by external actors often in correlation to a feud or dispute to which had been brought attention in the venues of the organization. Often times surfaced complaints.[1] on there being no purpose to the organization, or very little initiative to accomplish the purpose that the organization claimed it had.
