This news summary is brought to you by *Intermicronational World* (IW), a government news agency. IW is a genuinely alternative news source. IW has existed since October 2011, but was forced to expand its services in March 2014 because of a lack of scholarly or scientific articles about micronations, and has since become a daily source of news, and not just about micronations. The government behind IW is the UMMOA-GEO (or Ummoagian) Nation-State. UMMOA® is a United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) registered collective mark, and the wordmark is recognised by the USPTO as a political organisation concerned with international affairs. The UMMOA is also recognised by various IGOs, NGOs, churches, and nations and states with limited recognition. GEO, on the other hand, was registered at its Winnecomaq (Long Island) address with Google as a Government Office on 6 December 2014, and is actually made up of all the private properties of three real micronations. In reality, all real property owners can join GEO. GEO has recently founded the unique GEO Ministry of Homeless Affairs after helping expand two state of New Jersey NGOs. *UMMOA Foreign Ministry (UFM)* The UMMOA Foreign Ministry (UFM) website has begun to be updated in order to better able to transition people from the status of foreigner or stranger, to the status of Ummoagian or UMMOA National; from the world of Machiavellian polities which has done, and is doing no good for people, only further increasing the problems, to Cesidian societies where people can begin to solve the world’s current problems, and even the problems of their families and small communities. The UFM leaves little guesswork about the status of the UMMOA’s Foreign Relations — we have relations with only two agencies of governments, but not at very high levels — and invites the United States Secretary of State, and/or the Foreign Minister of the People’s Republic of China, or their respective diplomatic staffs, to go to the Paradiplomatic Affairs (PDA) website. Foreigners, their organisations, agencies, and/or higher level governments, that feel the urge to transition from the militaristic and simian kind, to the peaceful and genuinely human kind, thereby actually making themselves useful in order to better able to address the challenges of the future without meddling middlemen, can still have a direct relationship with the UMMOA-GEO (or ‘Ummoagian’) System outside of the UN System if they wish, but we will simply move on to better things if they wish to ignore us, as they have done so far.

When *The Post* brought the epidemic of homelessness to Hizzoner’s attention, he chose to blame the messenger, lashing out at *The Post* instead of acknowledging the decaying quality of life in New York City.
