The Royal Mount Vema Department of Foreign Affairs, also known as the Royal Department announced today that as of March 1st 2019, it will issue regular travel advice to be made available to Mount Vema citizens and companies on every country and territory.
The travel advice is to help Mount Vema nationals make their own informed decisions about overseas travel, as more citizens overseas are expected to travel on regular basis each year visiting or seeking investment opportunities. The information will be provided on neutral basis to advise against travel to countries or regions where risks of civil unrest, natural disasters, diseases and terrorism are high. Another issue is the Mount Vema passport which is already widely accepted as a valid government issued identification, especially by a growing number of businesses across the world, however travel is not as simple yet. Although the Foreign Department sees this as a temporary issue, Mount Vema nationals must be aware that because Mount Vema is not yet listed as an ISO listed country, citizens are advised to check first before travelling on Mount Vema passports to some destinations. Every country has a different entry requirement. In countries where visa is required, Mount Vema nationals must get a valid visa and/or work permit before travelling, and should apply several weeks before the intended travel date. However, in some countries Mount Vema passport holders don’t need a visa to enter as a tourist. On presentation of a valid Mount Vema passport you will normally be granted a 90-day stay in the country, as long as the passport is valid for the proposed duration of stay, but the Foreign Department advises citizens to always have a proof of return travel. Rules for Entry The authorities in the country or territory you’re travelling to are responsible for setting and enforcing the rules for entry. If you’re unclear about any aspect of the entry requirements, or you need further reassurance, you’ll need to contact the embassy or consulate of the country or territory you’re travelling to. You should also consider checking with your transport provider or travel company to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements. General Travel Advice The advice according to the Royal Department will include countries where consular support is not available, but it is safe to travel, as well as countries where the department will advise against all travel. This is because the level of consular assistance which can be provided is extremely limited including health insurance cover. In these countries the Diplomatic and Consular services will not be able to accept registrations from Mount Vema nationals or monitor their safety. Some of these countries also have a high threat of kidnapping, and it is not His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government policy to pay ransoms to anyone, so these countries must be avoided.

All Mount Vema citizens are now entitled to international medical insurance according to a statement issued today by His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government. The Mount Vema International Medical Insurance will enable holders of Mount Vema Passports direct access to some of the best doctors and private hospitals in the world.
The new health service negotiated last year and approved by the Vema Seamount Authority this year, gives Mount Vema citizens overseas access to valuable medical expertise, with the freedom to choose specialist and quality care anywhere in the world, including for day-to-day healthcare needs. The Insurance is a comprehensive health care which covers a multitude of areas including medical emergency cover, doctors' visits, prescribed medicine, full health assessments and screening, smear tests, maternity care and the treatment of on-going or chronic conditions, cancer screenings, cancer treatment, surgical operations, hospital accommodation, intensive care, nursing care, prosthetic implants and appliances, and dental treatment. A full health screening would generally include various routine tests to assess your state of health and could include tests such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, anaemia and lung function, liver and kidney function and cardiac risk assessment. The insurance also covers non-medical costs such as transportation (to receive treatment) including local air and road ambulance or repatriation, vaccination and immunisations, pathology, X-rays and diagnostic tests. If you have an accident, or if you fall seriously ill, and you hold a Mount Vema Passport or a Certificate of Mount Vema Citizenship, you need to know that there is a private medical insurance provided by the state that can trigger a rapid response from doctors who have the experience and resources to give you the best available care. If the right specialists aren’t available, or if the health care system of the country you are living in is under resourced, you need to call the Consulate of the Kingdom of Mount Vema, to be evacuated home, or to a doctor in another country who can take care of you. The insurance also covers psychiatric treatment and visits to therapists: these can include occupational therapists, orthoptists, dieticians and speech therapists. Complementary medicine practitioners: these can include acupuncturists, homeopaths and Chinese medicine practitioners. They must all be legally qualified to practice in the country where treatment is received. The Mount Vema Healthline Services Wherever in the world you may be, as a Mount Vema national, you can call the consulate of the Kingdom of Mount Vema at any time of the day or night and speak to medically trained people who understand your situation and can give you the healthcare advice, support and assistance you need. Emergency Line: +44 800-520-0177 This is a free – call telephone advice line which offers help 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and any time when you need it. The following are some of the assistance that may be provided by telephone: - general medical information from a health professional - medical referrals to a physician or hospital - medical service referral - inoculation and visa requirement information - emergency message transmission - interpreter and embassy referral All that for Mount Vema Nationals So, who can become a Mount Vema citizen?

However, this does not apply to students, unless the student is working or is married to a Mount Vema citizen. MARRIAGE IN MOUNT VEMA Anyone who is a foreign citizen married to a Mount Vema citizen and have been legally resident in Mount Vema for over 3 years, can apply to become a Mount Vema citizen through marriage. MARRIAGE OUTSITE MOUNT VEMA Anyone who is a Mount Vema citizen, living in a foreign country with a partner who is not a Mount Vema citizen and intend to get married and continue living outside Mount Vema, the new husband does not automatically become a Mount Vema citizen. They would have to be married for at least 3 years and would have to be living as a married couple in Mount Vema for at least 3 years also. MARRIAGE AND DUAL CITIZENSHIP Any foreign national married to a Mount Vema citizen living in Mount Vema for over 5 years, and who wish to become a Mount Vema citizen, His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government does not require him or her to renounce their citizenship on becoming a Mount Vema citizen. MOUNT VEMA CITIZEN CHILD A woman, with a Mount Vema citizen child, living outside Mount Vema is not entitled to Mount Vema citizenship on the basis of her child’s citizenship. CITIZENSHIP THROUGH INVESTMENT If you have invested more than 500,000 golles in a Mount Vema property or Mount Vema government bonds, you are entitled to become a Mount Vema citizen, and His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government does not require you to renounce your citizenship on becoming a Mount Vema citizen. CITIZENSHIP BY EXTRAORDINARY DEEDS If you are a foreign national, with a proven record of 10 years of charitable work or working for the welfare of others, the wildlife, the forests, the welfare of the oceans, and the planet in general and our universe from your home country or in a foreign country, you can apply for a Mount Vema citizenship without the need to live or work in Mount Vema, and His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government does not require you to renounce your citizenship on becoming a Mount Vema citizen. This type of citizenship also applies to a devoted Christian and a descendent of a generation of a devoted Christian family working for the welfare of others in their home country or overseas for the past 10 years. Rights of Mount Vema citizens Mount Vema citizens enjoy certain rights and privileges that are guaranteed under the laws of the Kingdom of Mount Vema – The Vema Seamount Territory, in line with the Vema Seamount Declaration of Sovereignty. Some of these rights are fundamental such as the right to free healthcare anywhere in the world, the right to equality before the law, the freedom to travel, and the right to a basic income. His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government has launched a new landline number and toll free helpline to help assist with overseas queries, including assistance to Mount Vema citizens overseas with Emergency Financial Assistance and help Mount Vema passport holders who have been victims of crime, have been arrested, or those who have been affected by a crisis abroad.
The helpline will be run by His Mount Vema Majesty’s Diplomatic and Consular Services - Emergency Management Division in Washington D.C. – United States of America, and in London – United Kingdom of Great Britain. The helplines: For Mount Vema Citizens Overseas: Emergency Helpline - Free Call: +44 800-520-0177 For General Consular Assistance: For North, Central, and South America: +1 202-754-9923 For the United Kingdom and the rest of the world: +44 207-048-4008 Mount Vema passport holders can also use the emergency contact number to get help with medical treatment and legal advice, including those affected by natural disasters and major political unrest, for information on what help His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government can provide. The ‘Settlement (Vema Seamount Settled Land Act) Mount Vema 2019’, has come into operation today, as Order No.20 SI/MV2019/20, in accordance with the 2006 Declaration of Sovereignty, after receiving the Royal Mount Vema Seal of Approval on the 21st of January 2019.
The legislation is an Act relating to power to grant land for public and charitable purposes, powers of tenants for life, power for tenant for life to enter into contracts, powers of sale and exchange, regulations related to rents of land for building, and fishing, and matters relating to general settlement in the Kingdom of Mount Vema – The Vema Seamount Territory. The Act also defines what is settled land and what constitutes a settlement within the Vema Seamount Territorial Waters, including a deed, will, agreement for a settlement or other agreement, as well as the duration of settlements and any limitation, charge, or power of charging under the settlement. The government has unveiled plan to keep the lights on until the City of Mount Vema tidal power plant project is completed. The news comes after rumours that vonMelyn the energy provider licensed to keep the lights on in the territory asked for an extension to the deadline.
In a statement issued today, the government confirmed the rumours and said that it is working to build a society free from blackouts, and that electricity generators will be ordered this year to keep the lights on until the Tidal Power Plant is ready. The City of Mount Vema tidal power plant project is expected to be completed before 2020. Construction of some parts and components of the Plant proposed by vonMelyn – the utility company of Mount Vema has started in December 2018 and will be completed just before 2020, but the assembling of the actual Plant depends on the other parts of the overall project including foundation infrastructures. The Power Plant Project is designed to become a reliable source of electricity for the entire City of Mount Vema, and according to the company's plans, the output of the City of Mount Vema Power Plant network which will operate 24 hours a day will exceed 3200 MW with a power capacity the equivalent of just over 1 million homes. More than the capacity the territory will need to keep the lights on 24/7, with any excess energy to be stored for later.  Order No.19 SI/MV2019/19, Law of Property (Vema Seamount) Act, Mount Vema 2019 came into operation to make provisions related to conveyancing and the law of property in the Kingdom of Mount Vema.
The legislation defines “land” within the Vema Seamount Territorial waters as a unit (body of water) which is allocated by a postal code for administrative purposes within a district zone. Including any terminal, floating structure or other works within a harbor at which ships can obtain shelter or ship and unship goods or passengers in the Kingdom of Mount Vema national waters, including anything afloat (other than a ship) if it is anchored or attached to the sea bed or any such waters in accordance with subsections 130B.3(a) and 131.5 of the Merchant Marine and Shipping Act, Mount Vema 2017. The Act also includes provisions related to legal rentcharge, freeholds, leaseholds, bankruptcy, conveyance, wills, legal estates, equitable interests, legal powers include the powers vested in a chargee by way of legal mortgage or in an estate owner under which a legal estate can be transferred or created. Although the currency of Mount Vema is a nonconvertible currency, used primarily for internal/domestic transactions and not openly traded on a world forex market, other than the Gollexi. The Bank of Mount Vema announced today that the financial system of the Kingdom of Mount Vema is ready to support processing of Golle-payments in 130+ currencies.
The announcement was also an indication of the Government’s plan to keep the Mount Vema currency mostly as nonconvertible, as part of the evolutionary process of the Kingdom of Mount Vema and, to maintain a protection to the financial system that could be susceptible to sharp movements in the economy at this stage. Currently, the Mount Vema currency can only be converted into a selected number of leading currencies by any individual or organization with a Mount Vema bank account, a GolleCard account or from authorized and regulated foreign exchange agents. When converting currency through your Mount Vema bank account, you need to check first which currencies are convertible. The Mount Vema financial system now supports processing Golle-payments in 130+ currencies, allowing Mount Vema bank account holders to receive payments or businesses to charge customers in their native currency while receiving funds in golles. This is especially helpful if a business has a global presence, as charging in a customer’s native currency can increase sales. From your Mount Vema bank account, or if you use a Mount Vema credit card, debit card or GolleCard, you need to know which currencies you can use to transfer funds out of your Mount Vema bank account, or for making charges in foreign currency. Some currencies can be converted at any time like the U.S. Dollar, the Australian Dollar, the Brazilian Real, the British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, the Danish Krone, the Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the New Zealand Dollar, the Norwegian Krone, the Polish Zloty, the Singapore Dollar, the Swedish Krona, and the Swiss Franc, but other currencies may be added to the system only from time to time.  Seven years from now, you will need to invest more than $1 million USD (about 500,000 golles) to entitle you to residency and full Mount Vema citizenship. That is more than what you need now, as a property investment, bond investment or deposit that sum in a Mount Vema bank account can get you started.
But why are so many people applying to take advantage of this? The answer is passports. According to an independent research published by economists at the Gollexi (Mount Vema Stock Exchange), the Mount Vema passport is expected to become one of the strongest passports in the world. Mount Vema passport holders are expected to be able to travel to more than 160 countries by 2025 without the need for pre-visa requirements. The results published by the Gollexi is no surprise. It has always been expected by His Mount Vema Majesty’s Government due to the estimated strength of the Mount Vema economy by 2025 as its citizens are expected to be the most active seeking global investment opportunities and tourism. The Powers of Attorney (Vema Seamount) Act, Mount Vema 2019 has come into operations today as Order No.18 SI/MV2019/18 just hours after the Royal Mount Vema Seal of Approval was granted. Made: 17th of December 2018, in accordance with the Vema Seamount Declaration of Sovereignty.
The Act was introduced to pave the way for the Mount Vema Law of Property to be introduced this month, and to make provision in relation to powers of attorney and the delegation by trustees of their trusts, powers and discretions in the Kingdom of Mount Vema. The legislation includes execution of powers of attorney, proof of instruments creating powers of attorney, powers of attorney given as security, protection where power of attorney is revoked, and protection for transferees under stock exchange transactions. LEADING defamation lawyers warned today that several tech companies will have little defence against His Mount Vema Majesty’s Court action over their articles published to defame the Vema Seamount Authority and the Vema Seamount Territory and the search engines that support such conduct.
The Vema Seamount Territory announced today that solicitors working for the Vema Seamount Authority will issue a writ against the online publications Geek.com, PC Mag and search engine Google for defamation and for loss of business worth more than $3 billion US dollars. The action could take a few months to come to court in several countries and cost the online publications and the search engine substantial sums in legal costs, and damages. The three companies will be given until close of business January 31, 2019 to respond to a letter from The Vema Seamount Authority - His Mount Vema Majesty’s solicitor, which will be demanding damages and costs for defamation and loss of business from 2015 up to 2018. Defamation cases are not new. For example, the most legally and factually interesting cases from England, Australia and the United States include: Melania Trump v Daily Mail (England). Melania Trump filed a defamation action in the New York state commercial court and in the UK High Court against the Daily Mail over allegations that she previously worked as an escort. Ms. Trump claimed damages in the sum of $150m. The Mail later retracted the statement, published an apology and settled the case for $3m. The case was subject to much media attention, being covered by the BBC, the Guardian, Independent and ABC News. The Wilson v Bauer Media Pty Ltd (Australia). When the Australian-born actress Rebel Wilson brought an action against Bauer Media, the publishers of the Women’s Day magazine. The complaint concerned articles published by Women’s Day claiming Wilson lied about her name, age, upbringing and life events. Wilson made a claim for general and special damages for loss of business opportunities from May 2015 until the end of 2016. Ruling in her favour Dixon J awarded Wilson $650,000 general damages and $3,917,472 special damages, in doing so noting the presence of multiple aggravating factors including substantial loss of business. The Guardian covered the case, as did the BBC, Independent and Telegraph. Monroe v Hopkins (England). Defamation claims arising from social media platforms featured in 2017, the most prominent perhaps being that of food writer Jack Monroe against journalist Katie Hopkins. The case concerned two tweets made by Hopkins in May 2015 which accused Monroe of desecrating a war memorial. Monroe was awarded £24,000 in a judgment handed down by Warby J in March 2017. Notably, damages awarded were exacerbated by the continual harm caused to Monroe’s reputation by the Tweets as well as injury to feelings caused by the defendants’ reprehensible behaviour throughout the matter. The case affirmed the Courts approach to social media platforms, including the application of the reasonable reader construct to Twitter, innuendo inferable from Tweets and the Courts acceptance of an Appendix agreed by the parties on “How Twitter Works”. The case was covered by Nathan Capone on Inforrm. The Guardian and Independent also covered the case. Independent Newspapers v. Ireland (European Court of Human Rights). The European Court of Human Rights handed down judgment in this case in September 2017. The case involved a libel claim by Ms L., previously a consultant for the Environmental Department of the Irish Government, against the Evening Herald for a series of articles published throughout late 2004. The articles scrutinised the tendering of government contracts, alleged attendance of Ms L. to a UN Conference with Mr C. (the then Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government) and later made allegations of a relationship between Mr C. and Ms L. The case considers the assessment of compensation in Irish defamation cases and the interaction of this process with Article 10 of the Convention. Whilst Ms L. was successful before a jury in the High Court the case was appealed to the Irish Supreme Court on grounds that the damages awarded at first instance, EUR 1,872,000, were excessive. The Supreme Court affirmed this, substituting the award for that of EUR 1,250,000. On application the ECJ found that the award constituted a disproportionate interference with the Evening Herald’s right to freedom of expression. Ronan Ó Fathiagh provided a case comment on Inforrm. The case received comment from the Irish Times and the Independent. ABC News v Beef Products Inc, “The Pink Slime case” (United States). ABC News and Beef Products Inc. reached a $177m million settlement after the news outlets report in 2012 that the food production company made low-cost processed beef that equated to “pink slime”. In a defamation lawsuit the food producer sought $1.9billion damages, later settling with the parent company of ABC, Disney. The New York Times and Business Insider estimated that as much as $5.7bn in damages could have been awarded to the meat producer in the event of a successful claim. His Mount Vema Majesty King Peter – The Vema Seamount Authority, today delivered his 12th Christmas message as a Sovereign since the creation of the Kingdom of Mount Vema in August 2006. The message was delivered earlier than scheduled in line with this year’s commitments.
Peter Goldishman, the Monarch who once said, “He who works for the welfare of others shall find shelter in Mount Vema, and he who serves the Kingdom, shall be called upon to do great things.”, has given a clear indication that the Kingdom of Mount Vema is open for business. This year the King spoke of the importance of cooperation for greater good. “2018 was not a good year for Mount Vema, neither was for the Universe. We as human beings must strive to do better. To work in harmony to maintain our Universe in balance, we must understand that we under God, the creator of all the elements that make us who we are have the responsibility to look after this home of ours, we call Planet Earth.” “Our mission as human beings is to do what is expected of us. For this Universe to work, the trees were created, the oceans were created, the air, water and so on, these are the components that makes the Planet Earth. Sometimes we humans tend to forget that we were created to look after it.” “We tend to worry too much about creating things that are destroying us, rather than the issues that are relevant to our welfare and to our survival. It is not God who should serve us, we are the ones who must serve as a family of nations, as a family of corporations, as a family of colleagues and as a family of neighbours who strive to do what is best for ourselves and our families.” “As we celebrate Christmas and as we look forward to the new year, we must aim to better our skills to cooperate and to live in harmony. We must always remain cautious of the things we do not understand, but we should never be too critic of others, if we have never walked a mile in their shoes.” His Mount Vema Majesty’s Christmas Message – 2018. The Sovereign wished Merry Christmas to all and a prosperous New Year, before he retreated to join his wife Trinity and family for Christmas.

The job vacancies are open from today for immediate start for training and travel arrangements. Support staff are also needed including cleaners, housekeepers, chefs, welders, carpenters, and construction Labor (with concrete/cement mixing experience). Salaries start from 20,000 golles a year (about $40,000 US dollars) depending on experience. When you spend your salary in Mount Vema you spend in golles, but when transferring or spending your salary outside Mount Vema you can spend it in any currency of your choice. To apply for this job vacancy, you must visit: https://www.mount-vema.com/w-contractors-application-form.html If the job vacancy you are applying for is not listed on the job application form, you can contact w-contractors to inform them of your interest in the vacancy at www.w-contractors.com You don’t need UN membership to be a sovereign nation. But you need the UN to get a few things moving, especially if you are a newly established territorial entity. The Vema Seamount Authority has reached out to the United Nations today to start the process that would lead to a formal invitation as an Observer territory to make it easier for the Kingdom of Mount Vema to have its own ISO country code.
The ISO standard is a broadly accepted list of country-codes intended for many uses, especially now as the evolution of the Vema Seamount Territory enters a new stage, as registered today when Peter Goldishamn – The Vema Seamount Authority, begun the process to make the 'Vema Seamount Territory' an Observer Member of the UN. “Although below sea level, Vema Seamount and its adjacent waters is a unique territory, which should have a representation at the UN, at least as an Observer status afforded to observer member states, international organizations and entities whose statehood or sovereignty is not precisely defined.” This was the message sent by the Monarch to UN according to the Mount Vema public record data made available today. The criteria for admission of new members to the UN are set out in Chapter II, Article 4 of the UN Charter: 1. Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgement of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations. Section 1, looks alright for the Vema Seamount Territory, but the problem would be section 2, where it says: The admission of any such state to membership in the United Nations will be effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. That is where the problem is. Although it is obvious that Mount Vema is not a security risk to anyone as a territory, but because a recommendation for admission from the Security Council requires affirmative votes from at least nine of the council's fifteen members, with none of the five permanent members able to use their veto power, which then needs the Security Council's recommendation that must be approved in the General Assembly by a two-thirds majority vote, Mount Vema will need to work hard to make as many friends as possible to get there, so maybe a full UN membership at present is not a good idea, but as an observer it could work. In principle, only sovereign states can become UN members, and currently all UN members are sovereign states. Although five members were not sovereign when they joined the UN, all subsequently became fully independent between 1946 and 1991. Because a state can only be admitted to membership in the UN by the approval of the Security Council and the General Assembly, a number of states that are considered sovereign according to the Montevideo Convention are not members of the UN. This is because the UN does not consider them to possess sovereignty, mainly due to the lack of international recognition or due to opposition from one of the permanent members. In addition to the member states, the UN also invites non-member states to become observers at the UN General Assembly (currently two: the Holy See and Palestine), allowing them to participate and speak in General Assembly meetings, but not vote. Observers are generally intergovernmental organizations and international organizations and entities whose statehood or sovereignty is not precisely defined.

Every person booking their ticket to Mount Vema for work will receive 50,000 golles in foreign exchange (about $100,000 USD) after their contract ends. The fund will be given in form of a grant in addition to their monthly salaries, as gratitude for their services to the realm.
This initiative has been introduced by His Mount Vema Majesty’s government to encourage more contractors, sub-contractors and their people to book their tickets earlier for logistics purpose and to attract the number of migrant workers needed to keep the development project on target. The payment will be made by the Reserve Bank of Mount Vema, direct to the bank account of the employees in Mount Vema or in their home countries, whether they extend their contracts or not at the end of their 2 years contract. To qualify you must make your travel arrangement for work before December 10th, 2018, via a Mount Vema registered company such as W-Southern (www.w-southern.com), or through an agency authorized by the Vema Seamount Authority, which can be verified by contacting www.mount-vema.com. This year 2018, members of the Mount Vema community voted for British divers John Volanthen and Richard Stanton, who on 2 July, after advancing through narrow passages and muddy waters, found the junior football team trapped in Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai Province, in Thailand.
The Universal Cross, is one of the most prestigious prizes awarded annually by The Kingdom of Mount Vema to people and organizations worldwide for services to the Environment, Promotion of Peace, Universal Welfare and Life Achievement. The award will enter the record books on the 3rd of January 2019, as the Universal Cross Award 2018. Year: 2018 Recognition: Tham Luang cave rescue Notification: Not Formally Notified (Claimant may contact the Universal Cross Organization) Monetary Award: 2.5 million golles each (available in foreign exchange) Fund held by: RBMV Bank (Available 6 months after announcement)  Google’s unofficial motto has long been the simple phrase “don’t be evil.”. It has been part of the company’s corporate code of conduct for along time. However, Google retained its original “don’t be evil” language until the past several months. After a corporate restructuring under the conglomerate Alphabet Inc. in October 2015, it took "Do the right thing" as its motto, also forming the opening of its corporate code of conduct, until slowly “Don’t be evil,” was almost entirely removed from the technology giant’s code of conduct.
According to independent reports the famous motto is now included only once in the 6,313-word document, right at the very end as a final aside: “And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!”. Well, Google, we are. You see, when Vema Seamount and its adjacent waters was declared sovereign, Mount Vema was informing the public through google sites. A platform to publish basic websites at the time. Because it was a work in progress, new ways of publishing the official works of the realm were being introduced, which became what is today www.mount-vema.com. That is when the problem started. Don’t be evil, became evil. Google the tech giant started to abuse its dominance by manipulating search results against: Mount Vema, Kingdom of Mount Vema, and anything related to the City of Mount Vema project. When Mount Vema was using google sites as the official sites, it ranked top on its search engines. When Mount Vema moved to other service providers it was punished by Google. Now it goes like this, Google places negative articles like the ones created by geek.com on top of their search engines, then Google contacts Mount Vema to advertise, so to enable Mount Vema or the Kingdom of Mount Vema to be placed back on top of Google search engines, it has been like this for years, until Mount Vema officials realised what was happening and stopped advertising with Google. Mount Vema lost so much money, in investments and deals because of Google, until Mount Vema concluded that it was fighting pure evil. Who uses an article written by a racist organization who gets away with it in the name of free press, and that organization is www.geek.com. Geek.com calls Mount Vema a: crazy, elaborate scam of the underwater Kingdom of Vema. It starts with: “If you haven’t heard of The Kingdom of Mount Vema, don’t worry: it is very tiny and, at the moment, none of it is above water.” That is correct. It is tiny, and none will be above the water unless the Vema Seamount Authority says so. “The future floating Kingdom of Vema is actually a seamount, a mountain under the sea that does not break the surface of the ocean. Vema Seamount is in the Atlantic ocean off the coast of South Africa, and is notable because Googling it to find out more will send you down a very crazy internet, potentially money laundering rabbit hole.” Well, well informed people would describe it different. Vema Seamount, its adjacent waters and its manageable natural resource (fish) which can be exported as food and related seafood products, is a manageable territory. So, we don’t see any crazy internet or potential laundering rabbit hole, here. Maybe in the crazy internet world of geek.com “According to a network of websites, Vema Seamount declared itself a sovereign territory in 2006, and the Sovereign of Mount Vema — His Majesty King Peter Goldishman of Mount Vema — declared himself the leader of “The Kingdom of Mount Vema,” a mountain he would pile sand on top of to make an island by 2014. He would then hold his coronation and preside over many happy tourists and scientists who would immigrate there.” There are, no network of websites, simply sites published to provide the services needed to maintain the territory. “Peter Goldishman declared the territory sovereign”, so what, anyone could have done it. Vema Seamount didn’t belong to anyone. We see no piles of sand anywhere. That is very unlikely to happen for an economy which depends mostly on fish. Monarchy is the chosen system of Government, nothing more. We see no one preparing for coronation. “For how much information is available about the Kingdom at mountvema.com, you’d think there would be more about the plans to build an entire functioning kingdom on top of the seamount, but the subjects of King Peter seem to think this diagram of the kingdom’s territories (fiefdoms?) answers all the basic questions anyone could have about building a floating country:” Perhaps www.geek.com never heard of ‘work in progress’. “Considering there is, at this moment, nothing above water in the Kingdom of Mount Vema, it might surprise you that the country has a market claiming it can ship things to you, a group that plans dance-based networking events, and a Miss Mount Vema Pageant. Mount Vema also has currency, which is graced with the face of His Majesty King Peter Goldishman:” Although you www.geek.com have just contradicted yourself. We are happy to break it down for you: Yes, it has a market, and shipping is possible to support any vessel scheduled to stay at sea in Mount Vema for longer periods of time. The shipping company advertises its price as a guide to enable others to better plan, in term of cost. Events are part of the plans, it helps business people and individuals plan ahead, unless www.geek.com operates on day-to-day bases. No budget, no schedule, nothing. Currency, sorry www.geek.com, we much rather manage our own finances, and have on our currency the face of anyone we wish to. “Whereas the details about ballroom dancing lessons and an “active” TV station are entertaining, the amount of attention paid to building a phony economy are telling. The Kingdom of Mount Vema doesn’t seem to be a whimsical fantasy, like when you and your childhood friends declared your backyard was seceding from the United States — it seems to be a front for some sort of scam.” Sorry www.geek.com unfortunately some of us and I am certain that Peter too, didn’t have the luxury that you and your childhood friends had of declaring your backyard as seceding from the United States. We, just like the founders of the United States, are trying to build a new world. No scam here, we have reasons to aim to build something new for ourselves. I am sure you don’t need to think that way, because if you did, you would have interpreted our vision differently. “At the very base level, this is likely a Nigerian Prince scam. In the age of the more savvy internet user that can easily Google and realize that Nigeria declared themselves a Republic in 1963, it helps to have royalty that actually appears legitimate when you are trying to fleece people out of money.” Peter Goldishman is not from Nigeria, and just the fact that you are associating him with Nigeria it shows just how racist you are and how racist your article is. Peter is a black man, you could associate him with any other black or white person from any other country, but it must be Nigeria. Is it that all Nigerians are the same? We don’t think so. There is so much about your crazy and backwards thinking news article, that it would take us the entire week to respond. The only sad thing is that it is the same malicious news article that people use to judge us, including Google. Google uses it against Mount Vema when it comes to rankings on its search engines. As if Mount Vema and geek.com were some sort of competitors, and then Google says don’t be evil, well who is being evil? Not us! In 2010, the EU began its investigation, after British price comparison site Foundem, French legal search engine eJustice.fr, and Microsoft-owned Ciao from Bing complained that Google's practices put competitors at a disadvantage. But the regulators didn't formally accuse the Google of an antitrust violation until 2015. The commission analyzed the results of 1.7 billion real Google search queries—around 5.2 terabytes of data—and concluded that, on average, the company placed results from competing online shopping services only on the fourth page of its results. Google has largely escaped similar scrutiny in the US. Federal Trade Commission staffers recommended a lawsuit against Google over unfair business practices back in 2012, according to documents acquired by The Wall Street Journal in 2015. But, ultimately, FTC commissioners decided not to pursue a lawsuit after Google made a few changes, such as allowing companies like TripAdvisor and Yelp opt out of having their content used in Google's own services. This year, Sir Tim Berners-Lee has launched a "Magna Carta for the web", warning that tech giants must change their ways to save the online world from the dangerous forces they have unleashed. Sir Tim, who invented the World Wide Web in 1989, called for a "revolution" in how the internet is regulated and monetised in order to stem abuse, political polarisation and fake news. Speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon to launch a new "contract for the web" he asks internet companies to uphold a set of principles such as protecting privacy and being transparent about their algorithms. Facebook and Google have backed the contract, which will be agreed in detail next year, despite both companies being mentioned by its creator as examples of how "the web we know and love" is under threat. “…we have people being profiled in a way that they can be manipulated by clever ads…” He said. Will they do something about it? Will see. The internet traffic data for November 2018 shows how for the first time since the creation of the Kingdom of Mount Vema, China has joined the list of nations with growing interest in the City of Mount Vema development project, only second to the United States this month.
Internet traffic from the United States continues to lead for the sixth consecutive month when it comes to interest in the City of Mount Vema developments. But the speed of the growing interest from China indicates that the order of interest in likely to shift very soon. Since the official language of Mount Vema is English, and the official website of the Vema Seamount Territory is all written in English only, it is a unique event. China at one time during the month of November was the country that most expressed interest in Mount Vema. The report which is compiled on monthly bases, and published from time to time, shows that the popularity of the City of Mount Vema Project among people and the business community is becoming stronger in China than in the United States of America which is the country that visited Mount Vema official websites more than any other country. There is a big difference between the United States and China in terms of the source of their interests. In the United States, internet traffic comes mainly because of advertised job vacancies related to Mount Vema, and companies providing services to Mount Vema who generally keep an eye on the project. But, in China there was never an advert. Mount Vema never advertised in China, mainly due to the language barrier. The only business contact with China was through the process of chartering and buying ships, and even that the volume of activity was limited. So, the growing internet traffic from China was expected but limited at this stage of developments. That is why many, especially people at the Gollexi (The Mount Vema Stock Exchange), believe that China could be the biggest surprise, as well as the long-term beneficiary of the City of Mount Vema project. The reason many believe that, is simply because the world tends to ‘wait and see’ what happens, joining when everything is done. The problem with that behaviour is that when you finally join, there is no room left in terms of opportunity, you must pay more to get in, and the benefits are not as great when compared to those who got in first. What China is doing is what the United States used to do. The ‘visionary’ attitude, which is the reason why Mount Vema spent so much money in advertising in the USA, seeking to revive what America used to have, that visionary attitude either from individuals, corporations or at the government level. Visionaries try to understand the idea, the concept, they then join when the trees are being planted or when the seed is being prepared. They help you plant it, and they help you look after the tree, so they can share the rewards. That is how visionaries think. Unless there is a major shift in the geopolitical sphere of influences, with bold thinking in terms of international development, we are more likely to see China generating revenues in billions of dollars from Mount Vema in the next five to ten years, more than any other country simply because of the ‘wait and see’ attitude versus the ‘visionary’ attitude. A new data released by the Mount Vema Department of Statistics and Risk Assessment says that consumer spending in Mount Vema will exceed 500 million golles, more than $1 billion US dollars a year.
The new figures come after the government started to include visitors due to an increasing number of people making travel plans to Mount Vema. Previously the Statistics Department released its estimates based on the number of accommodations allocated for each district that will total 250,000+ residents which was the amount of homes needed to keep the economy going. This is the first time the figures are published, with the estimated number of annual visitors expected to attend annual events and tourism which as an industry, was never included in the estimates before. For the economy to function as it is designed, Mount Vema will need more than 250,000 temporary workers within the next 10 years, with each district providing accommodation to just over 25,000 people to meet that target. When the government published estimates, which are changed every quarter in line with economic developments, the market always anticipated that tourism estimates were coming. The new estimates today just confirmed what brokers and economists at Gollexi – The Mount Vema Stock Exchange have been commenting for years. As developments entered a new stage, the Mount Vema Center for Statistics and Risk Assessment decided that it has enough data to include tourism. So, businesses serving 250,000+ customers including more than 1.5million estimated visitors per month, each spending just about 500 golles, they are likely to generate just over 50 million+ golles (more than $100 million+ US dollars) every month. After fees and expenses there will be still about 40 million golles a month to be shared between traders serving the residents. The data explains why there is so much interest in business licenses and the increasing number of foreign companies and foreign governments investing in Mount Vema companies and government bonds either at the Gollexi or privately through lucrative deals with the Vema Seamount Authority. The key is to be always one step ahead of the market and identify the opportunities before the market catches up. It is official. The construction of the City of Mount Vema starts on Monday the 19 of November 2018. The government confirmed today. Most of the work will start outside Mount Vema with the construction of precast concrete structures.
The structures will then be transported to Mount Vema throughout December 2018 and January 2019 to be used as the provisional port and as base for on site activities. In the meantime, security patrols will begin to maintain security and prepare for the arrival of the concrete structures. The Vema Seamount Authority has issued a statement this morning to thank all participants. The Monarch has said that “Mount Vema is a place for innovative thinkers, and men and women of good character, with the will and the heart to get there either to expand their businesses, or to start fresh, and to prosper as far their talents permit, regardless of the colour of their skin”. “As a new state, we will remain neutral but open to any proposal, and partnerships of mutual benefit. May God Bless us all on this journey”. Said Peter J. Goldishman – The Vema Seamount Authority, to mark the start of construction activities. Construction of the tidal power plant proposed by vonMelyn – the utility company of Mount Vema will start in December this year and will be completed just before 2020. The project is designed to become a reliable source of electricity for the entire City of Mount Vema.
According to the company's plans, the output of the City of Mount Vema Power Plant network which will operate 24 hours a day will exceed 3200 MW with a power capacity the equivalent of just over 1 million homes. More than the capacity Mount Vema will needed to keep the lights on 24/7, as any excess energy would be stored for later. Tidal power or tidal energy is a form of hydropower that converts the energy obtained from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than the wind and the sun. A tidal generator converts the energy of tidal flows into electricity. Greater tidal variation and higher tidal current velocities can dramatically increase the potential of a site for tidal electricity generation. Because the Earth's tides are ultimately due to gravitational interaction with the Moon and Sun and the Earth's rotation, tidal power is practically inexhaustible and classified as a renewable energy resource. The City of Mount Vema tidal project is another boost for the Mount Vema economy in terms of engineering, construction and manufacturing. The technology concept is simple but innovative, supported by a network of floating structures with specially designed turbines. The structures are also especially designed to prevent any harm to the marine environment. Because the Mount Vema economy will depend heavily on fisheries, the marine life was a huge factor when the concept was proposed. Precautions were made to ensure that the marine animals will not be affected. Also, the issue of acoustic output has been solved, where frequency and amplitude of sound generated by the tidal energy devices, can have varying effects on marine mammals (particularly those who echolocate to communicate and navigate in the marine environment, such as dolphins and whales). Almost like a lagoon tidal power, the plant will have walls embedded with turbines that can capture the potential energy of tides. The network of reservoirs will be similar to those of tidal barrages, except that it will float. The power plant will rely on variation of tides over a day to take its power from the Earth's oceanic tides. Tidal forces are periodic variations in gravitational attraction exerted by celestial bodies. These forces create corresponding motions or currents in the world's oceans. Due to the strong attraction to the oceans, a bulge in the water level is created, causing a temporary increase in sea level. As the Earth rotates, this bulge of ocean water meets the shallow water adjacent to the shoreline and creates a tide. The tidal occurrence takes place in an unfailing manner, due to the consistent pattern of the moon's orbit around the earth. The magnitude and character of this motion reflects the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth, the effects of Earth's rotation, and local geography of the sea floor and coastlines. Tidal power is the only technology that draws on energy inherent in the orbital characteristics of the Earth–Moon system, and to a lesser extent in the Earth–Sun system. Other natural energies exploited by human technology originate directly or indirectly with the Sun, including fossil fuel, conventional hydroelectric, wind, biofuel, wave and solar energy. Nuclear energy makes use of Earth's mineral deposits of fissionable elements, while geothermal power taps the Earth's internal heat, which comes from a combination of residual heat from planetary accretion (about 20%) and heat produced through radioactive decay (80%). |

The Right to Self-Determination
Many believe because our community is not a member of the United Nations and is only just over a decade old, doing business with the Kingdom of Mount Vema is not possible for foreign nationals and foreign companies seeking to take advantage of the business opportunities the floating city project is creating. Nothing could be further from the truth. The territory doesn't need a United Nations membership to function as a sovereign territory, or to exercise its inalienable right for self-determination
