The Tough Organisation of Elite Stuff (Arabic: الهيئة العليا لمحتويات النخبة, translit. alhayyat aleulya limuhtawayat alnukhba, lit. 'The High Authority for Elite Content'), commonly known as TOES, is a satirical, invitation-only micronational social club and organisation which is hosted on Discord. The club claims to be "more prestigious than the amateur Micropolitan Club and Lounge."[1]
Conceived and created on Christmas Day of 2019 by Leon Montan, Ponderosan statesman and Chairman of the Socialist Worker's Party of Ponderosa Hills, Prince Zarel I, Prince of New Eiffel, and Leah Telford, President of the Federal Republic of Caddia, it was originally known as "The Trio" or "The Trio™️".
The representation of the logo: the emoji art style represents commutation, and the bare foot is a sign of respect.[2] The hands represent expressing one's self in a way that words often cannot;[3] through text — while the blue eyes are seen as desirable and attractive,[4] representing TOES' eliteness.
TOES is a divisive part of the micronational community, being idolized by some, and hated by others, due to its rivalry with the micronational establishment and several Pavlovian politicians, such as Yaroslav Mar and Dionisiy Tezdzhan-Smahin.[citation needed]

History
Creation
Zarel Smith, Leon Montan, and Leah Telford were the only three users talking in various channels on MicroWiki@Discord on Christmas Day, around 1–3 am UTC. Smith proposed the idea for them to create a secret(ish) group DM on Discord. Montan and Telford were both fond of the idea, and Montan officially created the group DM which was later dubbed "The Trio™️". The Trio consisted of mostly "shitposting", however after a few days turned into a hub of conspiracy and discussion of various memes and micronational news.
2020 and onwards
Since 2020, three members have been admitted into TOES, and eleven have been banned on multiple grounds after the ban list was officially added after the adoption of the charter. TOES also gained a status and reputation of being a high-class and elite social club. Cole B. joined on 15 January, and was the first member to have joined who was not one of the founders. On 20 January, an official Discord server[5] was created to have multiple channels. The server ended up being deleted on 10 February after it had been mostly un-used for over a week. Marvel became a member on 20 January but was kicked from having membership on 1 February; making them the first member to have been kicked from TOES. Logan Ross became the fifth member on 2 February. On 7 February, Smith proposed the current charter, which was passed 3-0 and officially adopted on 8 February, which officially renamed the group to the Tough Organisation of Elite Stuff ("TOES"). Jayden Lycon became the sixth member on 11 February. On 14 February, the official motto was adopted "I didn't choose to be in the TOES, the TOES chose me" as proposed by Lycon. Max Baez was made a member on the 14 February, and William Efton was also made a member on 16 February. Brian withdrew from the organisation on 24 March 2020. On April 18, Zarel Smith became Minister of MicroWiki Management.

Ban list
TOES has a large ban list, which contains numerous individuals. It contains prominent micronationalists such as Dionisiy Tezdzhan-Smahin and Violette "Suzuki" Clingersmith.
Eliteness
TOES is a highly elite social club, housing popular micronationalists such as Prince Zarel I, who has the most edits on MicroWiki[6] and is the Prince of the popular micronation New Eiffel,[7] Leon Montan, known for the Face of Leon Montan[8][9] and Cornposting[10] MicroWiki memes; Leah Telford, who held the record for the most messages sent on MicroWiki@Discord in over fourteen days for multiple months straight,[11] Cole B. who is the Prime Minister of the well-known micronation Wegmat, and has done nothing of extraordinary significance.[12] Logan of Aenopia, who is the Emperor of the well-known and established micronation Aenopia and ex-Emperor of the largely-controversial New Cymru, William Efton, the Vice President of Aenderia, Brian, who is the owner of the Brian's Republic Youtube channel and makes gaming and food-related videos, and Jayden Lycon, President of Aenderia and winner of Dime Micronationalist of the Month for January, having received the most votes in DMM's history at 15. TOES used to contain the YouTuber and indie game developer YandereDev[13].
Influence
TOES was a primary influence in the MicroWiki@Discord Administrative Protests of 2020 held between 16 February—March 2020.[14] The TOES Sector is a political sector informally created on 21 May 2020 which was created for members of nations ran by TOESites; whether or not a nation calls themselves a member of the sector or chooses to associate with it is completely optional. A documentary on TOES titled TOES: A Documentary on the Elite Organisation is currently in production.[15][16] TOES Wiki, which runs on the wiki farm Fandom (also known as Wikia) is an online encyclopædia dedicated to TOES.[17]

TOECON
TOECON is an alert state, similar to DEFCON, used by TOES for issues relating to MicroWiki@Discord. It was developed by Logan Ross on 17 February 2020.
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 FOOT | Nuclear war is imminent or has already started. |
| 4 TOES | "The Discord is a war-zone. Get to the cringe bunker." |
| 3 TOES | "Crap's starting up." |
| 2 TOES | "Starting to get a bit tense." |
| 1 TOE | "Everything is fine." |
History
1 FOOT
The highest ever activated was 1 FOOT, and later comically upped to 4 FEET were activated. This was during the 'Dan Morris incident'.
TOECON 4
During 16 - 19 February 2020, multiple levels of TOECON were activated because of the MicroWiki@Discord Administrative Protests of 2020, the highest being TOECON 4 after the 'The Microwiki Genocide', referring to the mass server warnings issued to key participants of the protest. TOECON 4 would later be reactivated on 29 September following Yaroslav Mar being unbanned from MicroWiki, along with Eryn Lewis and Zarel Smith resigning as administrators.
TOECON 2
TOECON 2 was activated on 23 February 2020 after drama in the server involving the banning of open supporters of the terrorist organisation ISIS. It was activated again on 30 September 2020.
Controversy
In an opinion piece for the Micronational Gazette, Isaiah Burdette slammed TOES as "silly" and "simulationist", citing acts of server raiding during the TOES-Almendria War, which Burdette called a "disgrace to micronationalism".[19] This echoed an earlier press release by Tizian Aruna of the Communist Union of Almendria, which claimed their nation declared war on TOES following alleged acts of server raiding.[20]. Owner Leon Montan refuted these claims, stating that the war was a joke that went out of hand.[21] Montan has since accused Burdette, as he is known for his usage of Discord server raiding, which is known within the micronational community to be an extremely "simulationist" act. He has responded to this by saying he no longer does and his condemned his former actions.
