Help contribute

Why help is needed

Mahuset is a small state. Eleven citizens were counted in 2025, and the Confederation has no premises: its meetings, debates and daily business are conducted online, wherever the people taking part happen to live. The overview describes what it consists of.

Everything the Confederation does, it does through those people. Elections have to be organised, accounts kept, law drafted and published, and letters from other micronations answered. Each of those things happens only when somebody takes it on.

What the work consists of

There is no volunteer scheme to join and no list of vacancies. What follows describes the work that already exists, so that you can see where your own time and skills might fit.

• Elections and referendums. Elections, referendums and constitutional initiatives are the business of the Chad Stephen Freayth Electoral Commission.
• Accounts and records. Public accounts are kept in the Mahusetan guilder. The state also keeps its own registers and archives.
• Law and official texts. Statutes, guidance and datasets are issued under publications.
• Foreign relations. Correspondence with other micronations, treaty work and the business of the Batyr Bloc fall to the Ministry of Foreign and Batyr Bloc Affairs.
• Writing and broadcasting. State media belong to the Publieke Omroep Stichting, which owns the newspaper of record, the newswire and the Mahusetan Broadcasting Service. The Confederation also keeps a national wiki and an almanac.
• Community and culture. Much of what the Confederation does is cultural work; its symbols, its calendar and its institutions are described under culture.

Skills that fit none of that are still worth offering. Much of the Confederation's recent state-building has been digital.

You do not need to be a citizen

Contributing and citizenship are separate things. Anyone may offer their time and skills, whether or not they hold Mahusetan citizenship, and whether or not they ever intend to apply for it.

The limits are worth stating plainly. Citizens are the Confederation's electorate: only they vote in elections to the Lazian Chamber, stand for office, or hold posts in the Council of Ministers and the wider civil service. Work that does not involve holding one of those offices is open to anyone.

If you want to go further

Citizenship is the fullest form of membership in the Confederation. Contributing first is not a requirement for it: applications are made under one of four routes.

The application form does leave room for it. You are invited to say anything you would like the Confederation to know about why you are applying. That is the part that is actually read, and work you have already done is worth describing there.

The citizenship pages set out the four routes in full, and applications are made through the citizenship application form.

Where to start

Decide which part of the Confederation you want to help. The government directory holds all fifty-nine published organisations: departments, agencies, public bodies, bodies of the legislature and local entities. Each entry carries a contact address and its opening hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Write to the body whose work interests you, and say what you can do.

Before you write, look at what has recently been issued. The publications and news pages are the quickest way to see what the Confederation is working on.

The Confederation also keeps a Discord server, where much of its cultural and intellectual life takes place. No invitation link is published.

If you are writing on behalf of another micronation rather than as an individual, the diplomacy page explains how relations are opened.

If what you have to report is a problem with this website — a page that is wrong, missing or broken — write to feedback@mahuset.com instead.
