There have been other virtual states, and from the ex-yu specifically there was the NSK state in time which also issued passports. Nonetheless this seems interesting given the particular reasonance that titoism continues to exert in south-east europe.

'Titoism Has a New Country, Titoslavia, Available at a Click'
This article is about perhaps the first virtual country...

If you can't read French, here is my translation:
The Yugoslavia of Tito, since divided into five countries, will count an additional state on the 25th of May, the anniversary of the birth of its creator, Josip Broz. Nothing will distinguish it in appearance from the others, with its own constitution, flag, anthem and passport.

Outrage- Austyralian Academics Advocating Torture
Two law academics have caused a transient storm in Australia by their advocacy of legalised torture (see ABC News On-line: http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200505/s13704 47.htm).
In a paper to be published in July in the University of San Francisco's Law Review Journal, the Head of the Law School and a female colleague at Melbourne's Deakin University argue for the use of torture in interrogation of terrorist suspects.

for Ricoeur the orphaned child of slaughter of 1915 at the Marne, was intrinsically a "french philosopher" whose life and cultural background came to represent the intellectual self-identity of that country throughout its experiences in the last century.

Anonymous Comrade writes "Web site vexing to Minutemen"
By Victor Allen, Tribune
A Scottsdale-based Internet company said Monday it will force one of its Web site clients to stop encouraging harassment of the Minuteman Project or face being shut down. swarmtheminutemen.com is encouraging people to go into the desert border areas to blast their radios or bang pots and pans together in an effort to confuse and harass Minutemen volunteers.
The Web site also prompts site visitors to engage in activities such as sending repetitive anonymous e-mails and fax messages to the Minutemen, and even come up with other ideas to disrupt the project.

Court rules against arrest of US President
From expatica
4 May 2005
AMSTERDAM — A Dutch judge has ruled that US President George W. Bush can visit the Netherlands as planned this weekend and should not be arrested.
The ruling in a court in The Hague on Wednesday comes after a group of Dutch nationals lodged legal action against the State in the lead-up to Bush's visit.
The activists demanded that Bush be arrested or a court order issued to block his entry to the Netherlands due to "numerous, flagrant breaches of the Geneva Convention".
However, the judge rejected the request on the grounds that such a refusal was a political matter and therefore not something the court could rule on.
The Chilean Student Movement and State Repression
Over the last several weeks, students throughout Chile have been protesting the Chilean government over the continuing privatization of public universities. Last week, students in many of the departments in public universities entered a strike. Historically, university education remained a human right for all students in the public system, but over recent years, State officials have been gradually turning to a private system. Many Chilean students face the possibility of being forced to terminate their studies if education costs continue to rise.
May Day in Santiago, Chile
This May 1st, 45,000 people marched in the streets of Santiago in memory of the 1886 Haymarket Massacre in Chicago. During the march, there were diverse political movements including anarchists. The march ended in the Plaza Los Héroes where Arturo Martínez, president of the Central Unitaria de Trabajadores (CUT), spoke to the crowd. While speaking to participants, Martínez announced that if the Chilean congress continues passing laws contrary to labor rights a strike will commence for 48 hours.

Imc Italy seized? Bah!
At the moment, Indymedia Italy site can be accessed, no matter the attack (DDOS) that's targetting the server since May 1st, no matter the press agencies claiming the site has already been seized. Again. Few months have passed since FBI seized the hard disks of the server that hosted IMC Italy, and on the same day that the high court declared that crimes against catholic religion are punishable no more than crimes against other religions are, a zealous public prosecutor from Rome, Salvatore Vitello, charges Indymedia Italy with the crimes of offence to catholic religion and personal offences to the Pope, asking for the shutdown of the IMC.
