1 – Where in the World?

HIMI lie in the stormy southern Indian Ocean, 4 100 km SW of Perth and about 1 600 km north of Antarctica. The group totals just ~37 km² of land but sits inside a vast 658 000-ha marine reserve ¹.

2 – Geology & Landscape

• Big Ben Massif dominates Heard Island; its summit Mawson Peak (2 745 m) is Australia’s highest active volcano  ².
• McDonald Islands—44 km W—are smaller, low, and also volcanic, last erupting 2022 ³.
• ~80 % of Heard is ice-covered; 41 glaciers descend to black volcanic beaches ⁴.

3 – Climate

Typical sub-Antarctic conditions: mean summer air 1 – 7 °C, frequent gales, heavy precipitation (rain, sleet, snow) and dense cloud ⁵.

4 – Wildlife Highlights

• Penguins: king, gentoo, macaroni & eastern rockhopper — colonies exceed one million pairs  ⁶.
• Seals: southern elephant, Antarctic & sub-Antarctic fur seals haul-out in tens of thousands  ⁷.
• Bird diversity: 19 confirmed breeding species; islands classed as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International ⁶.
• Flora: Barren for trees; mosses, lichens & just 12 floral vascular species cling to ice-free shores ⁸.

5 – Protection & Governance

The archipelago is an external territory of Australia (since 1947) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (1997). It is encompassed by the Heard Island & McDonald Islands Marine Reserve, one of the world’s largest fully protected MPAs ⁹.

Human entry requires ministerial permit; commercial fishing or mining is banned. Recent management plans (2014-2024) are now under review ¹⁰.

Diplomatic Note

Bern, 18 June 2025

To :
Federal Department of Foreign Affairs
Swiss Confederation

Subject : Request for Switzerland’s Good Offices in the Peaceful Founding of the Unified State

Excellency,

1. Switzerland’s celebrated good offices have enabled peaceful settlements from the 1872 Alabama Arbitration to the recent 2024 Ukraine Peace Summit.
2. We, Michael Tulsky (Lucid Founder), hereby proclaim the micro-sovereign entity “Unified State”, fulfilling the four Montevideo criteria of statehood (Montevideo Convention 1933).
3. For its territorial nucleus we respectfully request Switzerland’s facilitation of tri-party talks with:
   • Australia – current sovereign of uninhabited Heard Island & McDonald Islands (HIMI), administered under the HIMI Act 1953.
   • United Kingdom – historical discoverer via Captain John Heard, 1853 (Archives Hub).
4. We envisage a voluntary cession or renewable lease, with Australia & the UK retaining scientific and environmental cooperation rights.
5. The Unified State pledges:
   • Continued compliance with Antarctic & HIMI environmental protections safeguarding king-penguin colonies.
   • Zero militarisation: the islands shall serve purely as a symbol of planetary unity and a living lab for sustainable governance.
   • Acceptance of current U.S. tariff schedules, which already list HIMI separately in 2025 (HTS Rev 14; see also Guardian 03 Apr 2025).
6. Accordingly, we ask Switzerland to:
   • Convene exploratory talks (virtual or in Geneva) among Swiss, Australian, UK, and Unified State envoys.
   • Provide legal guidance for a treaty compatible with customary international law on peaceful territorial transfer.
7. We likewise request accreditation to open a Unified State Liaison Mission in Geneva, deepening multilateral cooperation from inception.

Conclusion
It would be our honour to found the Unified State upon the cooperative principles long cherished by the Swiss Confederation—a realm where love, freedom, and ecological stewardship stand supreme.

We remain at your disposal and await your favourable reply.

Respectfully,

Michael Tulsky
Lucid Founder — Unified State
