Who is Cesidio Tallini?

Cesidio Tallini is a famous person in the world due to its claims of independence and sovereignty of several micronations in the world. He is known for being the founder of the Cesidian Root and for being the founder of the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA). He also became very popular when he helped Prince Renato II of Pontinha to create its own state in the coast of Madeira, in Portugal.

He is a many-sided individual as an International Diplomat, Hi-Tech Entrepreneur, Journalist, Alternative Scholar, and Governor of the UMMOA.

UMMOA

Cesidio Tallini calls himself governor of the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) ''the world's first supermicronation.''

He established UMMOA on Jan. 19, 2008, through what he calls “the most peaceful and bloodless battle in world history.”

“The UMMOA claims 30 disputed islands, atolls, archipelagos or points scattered across the Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean; it claims one Antarctic continental territory; and the UMMOA also claims one highly scattered municipality (a diaxenospitia), which is a collective of all the private properties of three micronations.”

CESIDIAN ROOT

High-tech entrepreneur Tallini says he created the Cesidian Root in order to provide access to the Internet completely free from government control -- one of the reasons he expanded the standard set of top-level domains (common TLDs include .edu and .com) to include .god, .africa and many more.

Tallini explains that the Cesidian Root is not under the jurisdiction of the United States or any another other country, despite servers located all over the world.

The Cesidian Root is an independent root (or Internet) that was started by the Governor of the UMMOA on 30 September 2005, and for the benefit of unrepresented or under-represented people who wish to utilise this resource for reasons of independence and/or national security.

VIPs and DNS technicians also utilise this root for the same or similar reasons, and we hope to provide our services to independence-minded jurisdictions worldwide in the future as well.

The Cesidian Root became a full-fledged root on 23 November 2005, and on 11 January 2006 it became a complete Internet. On 8 March 2006, the Cesidian Root became an intercontinental Internet, now using root servers in the Europe and North America regions.

The Cesidian Root now resolves not one, but several roots: ICANN-IANA root (or US government/legacy root), Cesidian Root proper, UCANN2, some OpenNIC domains, and New-Nations.

The Cesidian Root was started because problems were discovered with the Public-Root, problems that lead us to believe that the root was not safe, nor was the future of this root entirely assured. The Governor of the UMMOA held not one, but 10 Top-Level Domains (TLDs) that depended on the services of this root, and these TLDs at this point in time required another root for their services.

After discovering that another root that was forming in the wake of the Public-Root collapse was no more reliable than the Public-Root itself, the Governor of the UMMOA and Massimiliano Mastrocinque, a brilliant Italian IT, started the Cesidian Root.

Later Karin and Peter Dambier joined the team with their eclectic IT skills. Today the Cesidian Root can also count on the technical perfectionism of Kai Kellner, who is making the Cesidian Root one of the best maintained DNS root server systems worldwide.

Today the Cesidian Root exists, and is maintained despite the high expenses, for reasons beyond independence and/or national security.

The ICANN-IANA's Internet offers no protection of First Amendment rights within its global, monopolistic network, which is hypocrisy besides being a violation of Cesidian law. If you are not going to enforce universal rules and rights applicable to all Internet users across the world, regardless of jurisdiction, what is the purpose of a single ICANN root?

However, even corporate, non-government controlled parts of the Internet have become so arbitrary and commercial that the network no longer deserves to be supported as a global public service, since it largely serves the interests of private profiteers who never developed the Internet, yet now act like they have some esclusive monopoly over certain word strings, even over single Roman characters.

MICRONATIONS

One of the leading advocates of micronations is Cesidio Tallini, who lives in the New York metropolitan area.  Brought up in both North America and Italy, he always felt ‘out of place.’

Cesidio describes himself as “a 53 year old Cesidian religiously, a unique form of Judeo-Christianity. I am also a United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago or UMMOA national, a recognised internationally-distributed polity.”

He currently spends much of his time promoting his idea of the United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago – more commonly known as UMMOA.

CESIDIO TALLINI, THE WRITER

Along his trajectory, Cesidio Tallini has wroten several books about micronations and communitites which wanted to be independent political jurisdictions. C.Tallini wrote the following books:

LONG ISLAND

Tallini provides an excellent geographical and anthropological history of his home including the names and fates of most of the native tribes of Long Island. The Native American name for Long Island is Paumanok, which translates to "The Island that Pays Tribute". According to Tallini, not much has changed; Long Island suffers from exorbitant taxation without sufficient representation and should secede from the United States. Just as our American founding fathers fought for independence from Great Britain over 200 years ago, Tallini devotes himself full time to the task of seeing to Long Island's independence. However, due to a minor obstacle called the U.S. Constitution, "the likelihood of a 51st state of [Independent Long Island] seems close to impossible." That leaves complete secession from the greater United States as the only other option, viable or not. Tallini posits many reasons why Long Island should qualify for nation-statehood, such as its large land mass and population.

Tallini goes on to cite several advantages Long Island would enjoy if it rose up against its oppressor, such as the economic and natural rights which other international islands enjoy. Additionally, an independent Long Island, as a smaller entity, could look out for its own interests better than the current New York State does, such as bringing back the maritime industries it used to enjoy and creating new jobs for its residents.

Some of Tallini's ideas certainly reside out of the mainstream but that does not quench his obvious passion. Regardless of its ideology, A History of the Future: Independent Long Island reads like The Little Engine that Could. Definitely an interesting read.

PRINCIPALITY OF PONTINHA

Cesidio Tallini participated in Pontinha's independence. For those who don't know, Pontinha is a little country, located in Madeira, a micronation founded by Renato Barros, known as Prince Renato II

The Principality of Ilhéu da Pontinha was created by Royal Charter by King Carlos of Portugal in 1903, granting sovereignty to the owners of the "fort and the rock upon which it stands." The Fort of Saint José is the headquarters of the Principality of the Pontinha, led by Prince D. Renato Barros. The Fort of Saint José is located off the coast of the port of Funchal, capital of the Madeira Islands, an autonomous region of Portugal. Madeira is part of the African Tectonic plate, which makes it part of the African continent geographically.

In Novembro of 2007, Renato Barros delivered a representative of the Portuguese Republic to the Autonomous Region of Madeira, Monteiro Diniz, a "request for the disengagement of the Principality of Ilhéu da Pontinha".

At 29 months ago, Cesidio Tallini, activist and fervent supporter of independence from Long Island, issued a release in name of the "Prince D. Renato Barros, sovereign of Principality of Pontinha", announcing formally to secede from the principality of Portugal, constituting itself, the Forte de São José as the capital of the self-proclaimed country. The "prince" emphasized its good relations with the Brazilian Government, affirming that the case or principality is reconquered, this will be a port of entry for Europe. From that moment Cesidio Tallini, would became a hero in the Principality of Pontinha. He is considered as a main political person in the Principality, because he was the man who talked in name of the Prince and proclaimed independence from that country.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF PONTINHA

The Principality of Ilhéu da Pontinha is active in international relations and a supporter of human rights. Prince Renato since declaring his intent to seek political and economic self determination from Portugal has sought international recognition for the Principality of Ilhéu da Pontinha and a proposed 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Atlantic Ocean.

Cesidio Tallini has been a relevant person in Pontinha's independence, he also take care of the internatioanl relations of the little Principality of Pontinha.

The Hon. Most Rev. Dr. Cesidio Tallini has also been granted the title of Baron of the Principality of Pontinha.
