Apologies for the sites, its new and the theme needs tweaking.  I might back this out and put in a more stable theme.

Thank you for sharing the link but the Order of Malta is supported by the most powerful Christian tradition on earth, it also has a history of performing great acts for 100s of years. 

If Wirtland residents have support equally as powerful and are recognised the world over of providing value to humanity and the world then Wirtland may be in with a chance.  (in my humble opinion)

I am intrigued by the whole idea of Wirtland.  To challenge an individuals notion of Country, State, and Religion is not easy.  Surely country is really the same as ‘Church” a group of people working together with similar goals and similar ideals. 

Wirtland seems like a community of such people but to use the terms, country, sovereign etc implies some sort of reality that currently doesn’t exist – I say this because a Sovereign state has to be recognised by other Sovereign states in order to be a Sovereign state.  Is Wirtland recognised as such by anyone other than the participants of the community?

However, I could have it all wrong!  When Wirtland becomes the most powerful state in the world I will be eating my words!
