US FUTURE STATES ATLAS
Selected USE Embassy Documents

Beginning in 2008, I developed an ambassadorial apparatus for the United States Empire. Four ambassadorial positions were created for each new USE state, which were awarded to people connected or potentially connected to the US Future States project in some way. Positions were awarded to people connected to, or who I wanted connected to the project, along with a small number were awarded posthumously. Each invitee—Commissioner Doctrinaire, Minister of Information, Non-Resident Sibling State Envoy, or Resident Ambassador—was mailed two copies of a certificate. Certificates employed over-the-top official language culled from sources ranging from documents created by the American Confederacy to Martial Arts diplomas printed in a variety of fonts, and featured elements including stamps of the new state, official administrative stamps seals, and appointee numbers. Invitees were asked to sign and return one to me, the Special High Commissioner, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and keep the other for their records. In keeping with the spirit of the whole enterprise, the awards were rife with quid pro quo, nepotism, attempts to curry favors, and, of course, positions were for sale.
