History

The evolution of Vema Seamount (Mount Vema), a submerged ancient island which has eroded by millions of years of wave action, from its claim in 2006, more than 50 years after it was discovered in the late 1950s stands as an unprecedented phenomenon in the history human evolution.

Before the year 2006, Mount Vema was never a nation or part of a nation, an empire or part of an empire, nor a trusteeship. Its sovereignty, declared in 2006 by Peter J. Goldishman does not represent "independence" in the strict sense, but rather a significant nationhood event which is the founding date of the nation.

The establishment of statehood by Peter J. Goldishman based on this ancient island once at the surface of the sea, and now below sea level, gave birth to a new Monarchy and what is now officially known as Kingdom of Mount Vema.

The Story of the Kingdom of Mount Vema, is inextricably linked with that of its founding father The Vema Seamount Authority -Peter Goldishman. The story of Peter is a journey that begun in Lobito, Angola where he was born ,and it is very much part of the South Atlantic East and the story of ANGOLA, NAMIBIA, AND SOUTH AFRICA.

As a child he witnessed and met many of the men of SWAPO of Namibia, the ANC of South Africa, the Cubans and his fellow Angolans that were part of the struggles, where many gave their lives for freedom back in the 1980s against the apartheid South Africa so the region could be set free.

The struggle for some of the people of that era, ended after the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale in the South of Angola, but it was from the Port of Lobito where day after day he and others witnessed the arrival of the men (whom he would eventually be called to join as he was coming to age) who came to join that battle which led to the peace treaty mediated by the United States, and which concluded with the freedom of Nelson Mandela, and the independence of Namibia.

In the end Peter did not have to put on the uniform. Still in his teens when that battle ended, he left Angola, and when in his late twenties he moved to the United Kingdom, where the charts of the South Atlantic were presented to him by chance and ‘Vema’ was brought to his attention. At that time there was nothing about Vema Seamount on the internet or anywhere else. Very few people knew it existed.

​Today, Mount Vema is a well-managed territory. The once overfished and almost forgotten submerged island, has been propelled to a well-managed and well-regulated fishing ground, transformed to its greatest ever imagined state of wealth and prominence.
