The State of Confusion ([stejʔᵗ ʌv kʰʌɲɥ̊uːʒʌ̃])[citation needed] is a paradoxical joke ŋation created on 22 January 2025 by the Confused Idealist.[1]
Banner and flag
The banner is the "Flag of Theseus": a white flag with a black per fess and a black inverted per fess.
Language
There is only one official language of the State of Confusion, which is Evil Scamming language; however, it is also illegal to use, and use of it carries the death penalty.
The demonym used in English is "Confused", which also acts as a title for its citizens (not its non-citizen leaders). The title "State of Confusion" usually takes the definite article.
Territory
The State of Confusion "owns all lands that don't own themselves." What this means is unclear.
Politics
The State of Confusion is a sophocracy. Only people who do not want to rule the State of Confusion can do so - more specifically, anyone who sincerely expresses desire not to rule it is automatically made (co-)leader. It is possible to abdicate the position of leader, however in a classic Catch-22, if somebody asks to abdicate then it's taken as a sign that they do not wish to be leader and therefore must remain as one.[2] Leaders do not necessarily have to be citizens.[3]
The current leaders of the State of Confusion are:
- Idealist, who founded it but does not particularly want to rule it and so is de jure leader.
- Suqi, who stated desire not to rule it without realising how it worked,[4] and therefore became co-leader inadvertently.
The government does not necessarily recognise its own authority.
Citizenship
Only nationals can become citizens of the State of Confusion, and only citizens can become nationals of the State of Confusion. Besides Idealist who has both citizenship and nationality due to having created it, the only other person to achieve them both is Chronos who claimed to have had them since before it existed,[5] and Idealist decided it was paradoxical enough to allow.
History
Edit Conflict
On the 22th of January 2025, the day it was founded, the Confused Idealist was correcting its information on the wiki when Astaryuu changed its name's IPA transcription, resulting in what was probably the bloodiest war in the history of Nguhcraft - the Edit Conflict. Idealist was able to eventually form a truce, albeit at the cost of great loss of letters.
