Work on this site began on September 6:th, 1998. The
Monarch had previously discussed the creation of a web site for his beloved
monarchy, but the opportunity for doing so hadn't arose until then. The
Homeland site is designed by master hypertext forge (and newly
appointed IT Minister of Homeland) Marcus Ekelund.
This site can be viewed with practically any browser. No browser-specific
code has been used. All images have an alternative text to facilitate
access for the blind.
Any questions, suggestions or bright ideas concerning this site can be
directed to the Webmaster, Marcus
Ekelund. For issues regarding the monarchy of Homeland, go see
the Monarch.
This site is hosted by Passagen.

History of the Site
6-Sep-98: Project started. Main page and graphics designed, layout
agreed upon. The Monarch seems pleased.
8-Oct-98: First version of the site is now online. Future looks bright.
11-Oct-98: Added the Constitution, made a few changes just about
everywhere...
23-Oct-98: Disaster! The link to the "Built with Amiga"-campaign was
broken! Fixed it. The webmaster bangs his head against a brick wall,
repeating "Org, not com. Org, not com..."
26-Oct-98: Added the Treaty of Peace with the Aerican Empire (can be
found here). Also added the national
anthem as a MIDI file on the Constitution
page.
27-Oct-98: More links in the Links page
(duh...), and a few more nationalities for the Monarch. Also, some confusion about the exact
number of Homelandic Bits that make up a Homelandic Crown has been cleared
up... Oh, and some constitutional changes as well!
6-Nov-98: Noticed that I've missed putting target="_top" on a few
external links. This caused some problem with the V3-URL, but it's fixed
now.
11-Nov-98: The official posts of
Homeland are now listed on a page of their own, with lotsa flags! A
few changes in the Links page, as well.
17-Nov-98: We now have a 3D Minister! Also, some of the flags have
been updated.
18-Nov-98: This site has now joined the "Micronation and Virtual
Nation Webring". It will be on the list shortly.
24-Nov-98: The Webring is now operational and open for business!
4-Dec-98: The Monarch now has a few more nationalities.
5-Dec-98: Added a campaign banner against the new Swedish Personal
Information Law (PUL), "Rör inte mitt Internet". Click the banner for
more info and to sign the petition list. [Available
in Swedish only]
7-Dec-98: Some changes in the list of official
posts. Minor modifications on the main page. Oh, the EMT Minister's
e-mail address has changed! =)
11-Dec-98: The official Homeland mailing list, Homeland
Forum, is now on-line! Join today! Oh, and a new minister as well... =)
20-Dec-98: Please welcome the Dominance Minister! Some minor changes
all around. The Monarch's got a different hair color.
23-Jan-99: Apparently, Internet Explorer flipped a bit when it
encountered comments used to simplify the layout of most of the pages on
this site. I've changed the comments now, so IE users should now be able to
see all the pages. Why wasn't this reported to me?!?
6-Mar-99: Whew, it's been quite a while since the last update! Don't
worry, Homelandians, I'll get around to more serious updates in the near
future! Since I now have a job, updates may be infrequent.
13-Mar-99: LOTS of changes! Colonies, new ministers, new
nationalities... You name it, it's here somewhere! =)
4-Apr-99: Two new ministers, a new advisor and a few new links.
That's all for today!
23-May-99: Whew! Was a while since I last got around to updating this
old site! Anyway, new ministers and flags galore! A 25% increase in
population, as well!
9-Jul-99: A couple of new citizens, ministers and flags. Nothing out
of the ordinary.
17-Jul-99: The Minister of Transport is finally listed on the Official Posts
page! Sorry for taking so long! =)
5-Sep-99: Another long wait for updates. This time: A new minister,
a whole bunch of new links and an e-mail change.
Oh, and the Monarch granted me a second title! Go check it out! =)
2-Oct-99: The former 3D Minister is now officially Minister of Dimensions,
and he's got a new flag to prove it! The Jack-of-all-Trades Minister finally has
her personal flag, and we're now 32 citizens stong!
13-Oct-99: We have a First Lady! Hail Milkshake Asphalt! Other than that,
a new minister, a new spiritual leader and a correction. Even since this site opened
the 3D Minister (now the Minister of Dimensions) has been listed as "Michael Danowsky".
His name, however, is Mikael! This iste has been online for over a year, and no-one
has noticed my mistake! Oh well, it's fixed now. From the bottom of my left sole: Sorry,
Mikael! =)
