. "The Grand Unified Micronational, commonly abbrieviated as the GUM, is an intermicronational organisation with the aim of helping diplomatic relations between micronations, with a general focus on its own member states. Based around the MicroWiki Community and founded in January 2009, the GUM held an almost hegemonic sway over the community (especially under Robert Lethler's terms as Chairman) from the summer of 2009 until it declined in the summer of 2010. After the departure of Robert Lethler on 30 July 2010, the organisation became inactive. Acting Chair James Puchowski's attempts to revitalise the GUM were unsucessful, as were negotiations for a merger with the Organisation of Active Micronations, which rejected every proposal offered. Puchowski declared the GUM dissolved on 20 September 2010, and although for several months this was not widely protested, in August 2011 the GUM was brought back to activity after it was discovered that Puchowski's term had expired by the time of the \"dissolution\" and so the GUM had de jure never been disestablished. Its regular discussion of current micronational topics and the fortnightly meetings held every second Sunday in a Skype chatroom make it one of the most active intermicronational organisations currently in existence, and one of the few remaining intermicronational organisation in the MicroWiki Community after the dissolution of the OAM in December 2011 and IMTO in April 2012."@en . . . . .
