*Had to write this introduction about myself for a future interview:* From a purely geographic perspective, I was born and have lived most of my life in North America, in the New York metropolitan area, but I also spent my formative years, about 11 altogether, in Europe, specifically in Italy. At my earliest recollection — I was about 7 or 8 years old then — I used to change my voice to sound like a Martian. It wasn’t just a child’s game. I actually felt like a Martian, like a non-earthly alien. About a year or two later I was domiciled in Italy, and I was still the alien, and this time I was «l’americano», the American. I didn’t look much different than the average blondish Italian, and my American accent disappeared very quickly by the time I was 10 or 11 years old. Yet I continued to be «l’americano», and girls didn’t treat me like I was «italiano» or Italian either. When I was 18 years old, and I came back more or less permanently to the United States, and I became the alien again, and this time I was considered “Italian-American”. I didn’t fit the stereotype of that kind of person either, people who either speak Italian only fluently, or American English only fluently, but that was the way I was described and treated. I didn’t have black skin, yet I have experienced prejudice or xenophobia all my life, and both in the United States and in Italy. I experienced prejudice or xenophobia from all kinds of people, even from university professors. Even 18 years later, at the ripe age of 36, I still didn’t feel like the Italian-American people thought I was, and by then I actually was the only non-African person serving the African-American community of Cambria Heights, New York, through a local non-profit. The truth about my real ethnicity would become clear only later. The truth is that I was never a US American even in my coming-of-age years, and I never became an Italian-American as an adult, because I was already developing my own unique ethnicity, heritage, and religion, which simply was not being acknowledged by most people, but not by all people. Today, in fact, I also share many traits of so-called micronationalists, but in truth I’m also not fully accepted by most of them, and I’m very different, because micronationalists 99.9 percent of the time are actually nationals of an imaginary nation. I, on the other hand, am religiously a Cesidian (my curia or religion), and at least two different active churches or religious organisations today recognise that religious identity; and ethnically I am a UMMOA national (my nationality), and at least three active secessionist organisations, and even one US government agency, recognise today that ethnic identity, even recognise it as an internationally-distributed polity. While I have been considered US American or Italian-American for most of my life by most people, I was later adopted by both Native Americans and Native Africans. I have also proudly served as the real, and perhaps first Counsellor of Antarctica for one of Antarctica’s actual 11 Natives, and I have also served an Asian INGO internationally with great distinction. So under a purely legalistic perspective I’m a native-born American citizen, yet interesting enough I cannot legally become the next president of the United States! I’m also an undocumented European citizen, despite being entirely European by blood. More realistically, however, I am actually a Native American national by adoption by a Native American traditional organisation, that is acknowledged by some recognised Native American tribes, bands, or traditional communities. Moreover, I am also a fully documented African national, despite not having a drop of African blood. In conclusion, therefore, today I’m a 53 year old Cesidian religiously, a unique form of Judeo-Christianity. I am also a United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago or UMMOA national, a recognised internationally-distributed polity. I am also an aboriginal Sabellian, which is not the same thing as a non-indigenous Roman, Italian, or European of today, people who actually treat me like an alien; and I am also fully accepted by some Native Americans and Native Africans, and I have proudly served some Native Antarcticans and Native Asians. I am the Bishop and Primate of my church and religion; the Governor and Guru of my nation and growing continent (UMMOA-GEO); the Paramount Chief of my confederation of tribes (Ryamecah Confederation); and the Chief Magistrate of my race (Hernici Tribe). I am also an independent scholar of some renown, and the author of several books. – *HMRD Cesidio Tallini, Sachem Wequarran Archimedes, or BCT:* http://wikinfo.org/w/index.php/Cesidio_Tallini and http://bct.pe – *Cesidian Church:* http://cesidian.ch – *United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA):* http://ummoa.com and http://ummoa.info – *Ryamecah Confederation:* http://ryamecah.com – *Hernici Tribe:* http://hernici.com – *Global Earth Oceans (GEO):* http://geoceans.com and http://geo.casa
