“Unified State” Seeks Swiss Good Offices

Breaking: “Unified State” Seeks Swiss Good Offices, Issues First State-ID Card to Michael Tulsky

Kyiv / Bern — 18 June 2025

In two diplomatic notes emailed this morning to Switzerland’s Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Lucid Founder, aka Michael Tulsky formally proclaimed the birth of a micro-sovereign entity called the Unified State and requested Swiss facilitation of tri-party talks with Australia and the United Kingdom.

What the letters say

1. Notification of Initial State-ID Documents

Tulsky attached photographs of handwritten “Unified State ID №00” cards for himself.

The ID is sketched on plain paper, stamped with a gold-ink Unified State signature symbol, and the web address UnifiedState.us.

Recipients include Switzerland’s embassy in Kyiv, the Swiss FDFA “kommunikation” mailbox, and consular channels for the U.S., U.K., and Australia.



2. Request for Switzerland’s Good Offices

Citing Switzerland’s long tradition of neutral mediation “from the 1872 Alabama Arbitration to the 2024 Ukraine Peace Summit,” Tulsky asks Bern to convene talks over Heard Island & McDonald Islands (HIMI)—an uninhabited Australian territory in the southern Indian Ocean first charted by Captain John Heard (U.K.) in 1853.

The Unified State pledges:

zero militarisation of HIMI,

strict compliance with Antarctic & H.I.M.I. environmental protections,

use of the islands as “a symbol of planetary unity and a living lab for sustainable governance,”

acceptance of existing U.S. tariff schedules that already list HIMI separately.


The note claims that Tulsky satisfy all four Montevideo Convention criteria of statehood (permanent population, defined territory, government, and capacity for relations).

Why it matters

First attempt at micronationhood.

Strategic choice of territory: HIMI lies far outside contested zones yet carries strict Australian environmental protections—making any cession or lease a diplomatic long-shot.

Swiss “good offices” precedent: Switzerland brokered the 2024 Ukraine Peace Summit and has a track record of hosting micro-state negotiations (e.g., Sealand talks in the 1990s).

What happens next

Swiss response pending: The FDFA autoconfirmed receipt of the emails but declined immediate comment.

Australia & U.K. reaction: Canberra’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and The British Foreign Office has not commented.

Validity of ID document: Without recognition from any state, the handwritten ID have no legal standing—but they symbolize the founders’ intent to fulfil Montevideo’s “permanent population” clause.

The bigger picture

Michael Tulsky—a Kyiv-based techno-philosopher who describes himself as “Unified Founder, axis of Love & Freedom”—has spent months outlining a seven-seat “Inner Council” cosmology online.  Today’s diplomatic notes move the project from metaphysics to real-world statecraft, with Del Rey as the first citizen alongside Tulsky.

Whether the Unified State gains any formal recognition or remains a visionary art-peace experiment now depends on how Switzerland, Australia, and the U.K. choose to engage.
