Cupertino Alliance Factbook | February 2021 by twotoque

The first mention of this project was back in the 17th session (30 May 2020), when Jayden Lycon was inspired by the CIA World Factbook and wanted to make a version of it for Cupertino Alliance members. A report was later drafted and presented on 20 June 2020, indicating the goals and ways to research information regarding a factbook. This also included the management of an intermicronational census. Though planned for Summer 2020, it was later cancelled due to time constraints and focusing on the regional session plans. A standing committee on the revival of this project was opened on 9 November 2020. A census was later run from December to January, and design prototypes were made. Though both the Cupertino Alliance Census and Factbook encountered various difficulties and issues, it is expected as this project is a first in the micronational community. After about 250 days, tens of hours, the dream envisioned in the 17th session is now finished. We are incredibly proud of what we have produced, we hope that this factbook is useful FIRST: Man using the pseudonym “Jayden for future reference, and we hope you enjoy it. Lycon” -Jayden Lycon, Chair of the Board

Colours The Factbook will use a system of colours to indicate 2 groups of nations

Blue headers indicated that the nation participated in the December 2020 / January 2021 Cupertino Alliance Census.

Green headers indicated that the nation have not participated in the December 2020 / January 2021 Cupertino Alliance Census.

Notice regarding Christianity Due to an error presented by the Factbook Standing Committee, the option regarding religion was presented as: • Christianity (all denominations) • Protestantism • Roman Catholic • Et al. Despite both Protestantism and Roman Catholicism are a denominations of Christianity. We apologize for this error, however, they will be categorized separately in this issue in the Factbook. As this project is one of its first in this community, errors are bound to happen. Improvements regarding the Cupertino Alliance Census will be reviewed for the next season as we learn from our attempt during Winter 2020-21.

Notice regarding privacy The Cupertino Alliance is committed to protecting your privacy. Filers of the Cupertino Alliance Census will have their personal information kept confidential. The Cupertino Alliance will keep the census data until 1 March 2021 for any possible data mistakes or miscounts.
