Thomas Peter Jacobs[b] is a South African-Irish micronationalist, artist and musician who has served as the President of Roscamistan several times in its history, and is a co-founder of the nation.

Often described by many as a firm believer in Traditionalism, Nationalism, and Catholicism, Jacobs has been an influential figure in the Roman Catholic portion of the MicroWiki Community, and has been responsible for the introduction of Catholicism as the state religion of multiple micronations, as well as serving in the office of Commissioner of the International Catholic League.

Jacobs is a self-described Christian Fascist and a supporter of workers rights, anti-degeneracy and supports an authoritarian government.

Early life

Jacobs was born in 2008, in Galway, Ireland. He lived first in the suburb of Renmore, and later to the east of Galway, where he currently lives.

Micronationalism

Roscamistan

Jacobs’ first micronation, Roscamistan was founded in February 2021 with his friend Culann Burke, which would later on become an influential nation in the future Galway Sector. Jacobs made himself President and Burke his Vice President. He has developed Roscamistan more than any other President, having created most of the institutions and acts in the nation.

He has seen four Vice Presidents under his three terms as President. Doros Patusky, Ludwig Collins, Ali Farrokhzad, and Culann Burke have all served under Jacobs, with Collins as his current.

East Galway

Alongside of a small group of students in his school, Jacobs founded the East Galway Soviet, a council of students dedicated to socialist beliefs on 7 September 2021. Jan Kotoński, himself and Ludwig Collins would be made Chairman, Vice Chairman, and General Secretary respectively. On the 7th of January 2022, Jacobs and the other higher members of the Soviet declared the East Galway Commune, a quasi-stateless entity headed by the a chairman and later premier of the commune, Jan Kotoński. A People’s Assembly was created to serve as the legislative body in the commune, with Jacobs placed as its chairman and head of the assembly’s presidium, in effect Jacobs had become a supreme legislator.

From late February to April 2022, the commune saw a heavy decline in activity and decline of Kotoński’s Premiership in general. To combat this, the People’s Executive began to reform the commune, planning to create a fully functional parliamentary socialist republic to replace the quasi-stateless socialist commune. The People’s Executive renamed itself to the Cabinet of Ministers, a Presidency was created to be the head of state, the head of the Free People’s Army being transferred to the Presidency, and a new House of Representatives replacing the People’s Assembly.

In July 2022, President Collins and Vice-Premier Jacobs performed a constitutional coup, replacing one another in each other’s roles, and in September 2022, Jacobs founded the East Galwegian Blue-Shirt Movement, replacing the Party of Labour and Iron as the dominant party.

In December 2022 he successfully created and passed two acts which allowed the Cabinet of Ministers to hold referendums and the second act annexing Jordans Island and Moycullen, East Galway as territories.[1]

Other nations

Jacobs has been a citizen of Excelsior since March 2022, and has served in many positions. Jacobs currently serves as Secretary of Foreign Affairs, a Member of the Federal Assembly, head of the subjugated territories of Invictus, and formerly acting Premier-General of Excelsior. He is also currently Governor of the Cortes Islands in the Empire of Östruck.

Personal life

Jacobs lives in Galway, Ireland with his family, his father Shaun Jacobs serving as a micronational politician in Roscamistan. He is currently a third year student in secondary school.

His hobbies include Transformers, reading, writing, history, music, Thai boxing and going to the gym. He is also a member of Scouting Ireland.

Music

Jacobs aspires to be a musician, though has stated it be for creative purposes not financial ones. He primarily listens to Nirvana, Linkin Park, Soundgarden, 2pac, Eminem, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Wu Tang Clan and Daft Punk.

His primary influences are Grunge, Alt-Rock, Alt-metal, Hip hop, nu metal, punk rock, and Rap metal.

Political views

Jacobs identifies with Fascism, Authoritarianism, State Socialism, Workers rights, Anti-capitalism ,Christian Theocracy and Anti-Communism.

In the past Jacobs has supported and endorsed economic systems on both sides of the political spectrum, including Socialism and Capitalism. He is the founder of Galwegian Socialism, and has also endorsed free-market capitalism too. In January 2023 he became disenchanted with the concept of Capitalism, whilst remaining anti-Socialist, and has identified himself with Corporatism, and also with Neo-Fascist economics.

Currently Jacobs supports both socialistic and fascistic views. Whilst being against capitalism, he is also against individualism.

Irish politics

He has supported both the far-right Irish National Party and the right wing Human Dignity Alliance, and has considered joining the youth wing of the former in the past.

He supported both due to his dismay at the major parties, especially the Green Party and Fine Gael.

He currently supports no party, and holds Irish politics in contempt. He is described as holding both left and right wing views, both calling for economic reform whilst also advocating for traditionalism.

Religious views

Jacobs is a Roman Catholic, and completed his Catholic confirmation in September 2021. His views on religion often collide with his political views, and has shown himself to be a firm believer that the Catholic Church is the one true church, much to the dismay of his Orthodox and Protestant colleagues. His first micronation, Roscamistan, has been a Catholic state since its foundation.

Jacobs is also a firm believer in state religion, and has defended the status of Catholicism as the state religion of Roscamistan from opposition parties through 2022 and 2023.

Diplomacy

Jacobs is notable for him being the former foreign minister of multiple micronations. He served as Foreign Secretary in both Roscamistan and Excelsior, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the dissolved nations of East Galway and Ballinfoyleburg. He has signed most treaties between Roscamistan and other micronations, and served as the nation’s foremost diplomat.

Jacobs would retire from diplomacy in May of 2023.

Ethnicity

Jacobs is ethnically Irish through his mother, and English, Scottish, Normano-French and Danish through his father. Through his father’s maternal side, he is descended from the Clan Mackintosh.

Quotes

There may not be many things a teenager can do, but if you are able to do something as a teenager, do it well.

— Thomas Jacobs, November 2022

For the legacy of the Old Guard, for the glory of the Golden Age, for the new Roscamistan which is rightfully ours and mine to rule, I strike my vengeance upon YOU, the ones who betrayed us, THE ONES WHO MADE US SLAVES!

— Thomas Jacobs, August 2023
