Introduction [Top of Page] Background: The United States became the world's first modern democracy after its break with Great Britain (1776) and the adoption of a constitution (1789). During the 19th century, many new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two major traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation-state. The economy is marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

Micropatrology And My Interest In Navassa The us reassertion of interest in the island since 1998 has navassa s future may lie in a renewed effort to improve conditions in Haiti, which will demand http://members.aol.com/davidpb4/micro.html
Extractions: I was one of the twelve members of the International Micropatrological Society, a group formed in the mid-1970s by Frederick Lehmann of St. Louis, USA, and Christopher Martin of London, England, to study very small countries and islands. The Society has been dormant since about 1980. As an IMS member, I reported on Navassa Island and followed the affairs of a number of other islands. I will put up a page on the IMS to explain more about it. Fabrice O'Driscoll and several associates have created a very well-researched website in French that carries on the study of micronations in the spirit of the IMS. In my teens, I wondered if I could start my own country somewhere. Navassa Island looked promising: it was small, remote, and uninhabited. But the U.S. Coast Guard administered the territory as the site of an automatic navigational beacon and the island was unavailable and not really inhabitable. Over the next few years, my interest in nationhood evolved into a small private project to deliver publishers overstock books to schools in Jamaica and other West Indian islands. I raised some money to buy books, mostly overstock almanacs, at a few cents on the dollar. Some of these I had fun distributing in person wearing a pirate hat and shirt. The rest I arranged to have shipped, mainly to the Jamaica Library Service. This activity became dormant when I returned to college in 1981.
