Breakawayrepublix.com Invites all Worldwide Towns and Cities to Declare Their Independence

BreakawayRepublix.com, the latest location based social networking website, is offering every new user the opportunity to claim virtual sovereignty over any real world town for free, but for a limited time only. All new registered users will receive a credit into their Breakawayrepublix.com account with which they can lay claim to any town in the world to rule as their very own independent nation state.
Right at the local level, everyone who registers has the opportunity to create a free social network for their town

Preston, UK (PRWEB) April 24, 2008 -- Three friends from Lancashire in the UK have set out on a mission to create a new world order by offering aspiring revolutionaries the tools to lay territorial claim over their local townships and turn them into their very own independent virtual nation states.

Declare Your Independence
Declare Your Independence

The medium through which this global revolution is taking shape is BreakawayRepublix.com, an interactive new website which enables people to claim virtual rights to any real world town and customise it with a personalised flag, national anthem, constitution, citizens and many other features based on governing an actual real world country. Under the latest offer, new users to the site can declare their first town's independence completely free of charge.

Many major towns and cities have already celebrated their independence, along with lots of other smaller villages, towns and cities across the world.

"With citizen joining rules, the ability to appoint ministers and even ally themselves with other republix this is the nearest people are going to get to running their own country," says Sheraz Arshad, one of the creators of the site.

"Right at the local level, everyone who registers has the opportunity to create a free social network for their town," says co-founder Matthew Cowan. "It's a virtual replica of the real world, with the subtle difference of there being potentially 4 million countries instead of 192!"

Ownership of a breakaway republix is unique, meaning that once a town or city has been claimed, no one else can own it, except of course if the incumbent owner chooses to trade their claim.

People can use the tools provided to interact with people they know or with people who share an affiliation with a given town or place, by using the site's communication tools. All villages, towns and cities in the world are available to be declared independent, no matter how big or small they are. "It's even got my small home town in Finland, which has less than 600 people living in it," says Olli Aro, the third member of SMOG Media, the organisation set up to manage the website.

Republix owners and citizens in this new virtual world communicate, interact and trade with each other, with "republix" exchanging hands at prices agreed between owners, and citizens being selected to serve as Ministers within the republix that they have chosen to reside within. Republix owners can even sell links to local businesses or publish adverts relating to their local town or city, thus making real money out of their republix.
