Viteu Marcianüs is a citizen of Talossa and of Vuode.

Introduction to the Kingdom of Talossa

In the summer of 2006, Viteu resided in Oceanside, NY and worked in a resort community known as Cherry Grove on Fire Island in New York five days a week. He had a lot of free time to drink and live a carefree life of debauchery and decadence. The days were spent working in the kitchen, both as a dish washer and doing food prep, at a restaurant. The nights consisted of vast amounts of beer, vodka, and rum. During one of these nights, the term micronation got thrown around by some friends with whom he had been drinking.

After going home on his days off, he quickly researched micronations and discovered the Kingdom of Taloss. He applied for citizenship on July 27, 2006 was instructed by then Secretary of State John Woolley to create a Wittenberg account. Viteu did just this and promptly created an account and was introduced to the Kingdom on July 31, 2006. Once a fortnight had passed, he was petition for citizenship. Citizenship was granted on August 21, 2006.

National Politics

Early days and the RUMP

After he became a citizen, Viteu joined the RUMP and served as a Member of Cosa (MC) in the 36th, 37th, and 38th Cosas. He also served as Deputy Minister of Immigration and Minister of Immigration during this period. During his tenure as Immigration Minister, he started the TalossAssistant program and oversaw Talossa grow to over one hundred citizens. By the time of the 38th Cosa, he resigned his position as Immigration Minister and took the position of Capo di tutti capi in the Mysterious Executive Coven.

Member of the Opposition

By the end of the 38th Cosa, Viteu had decided to experiment with Opposition politics. After a mild disagreement with the RUMP leadership, he joined the newly formed Progressive Party and served as an MC in the 39th Cosa. He was also a member of the ZPT during the 40th Cosa.

Return to the RUMP

After a tumultuous election season, Marcianüs went through a period of inactivity. When he returned, he decided to enter the Senatorial race in Vuode for the seat vacated by Sir Trotxâ Betiñéir. He ran as the RUMP candidate and was largely considered the underdog, as opposition parties had dominated Vuodean politics for some time. Marcianüs won a surprise victory and has served the RUMP faithfully ever since.

Politics of Vuode

Viteu has been active in the politics of Vuode since becoming a citizen. After a period of inactivity, Viteu entered into the Senatorial race when Sir Trotxâ Betiñéir vacated his seat at the end of the 40th Cosa. During this period, Vuode was dominated by Opposition politics and Viteu was seen as a long shot. Nevertheless, he managed to win election even though he campaigned against the Constitution of 2010, which passed. Viteu stood for an uncontested election for the U-Class Premier during the 44th Cosa election for Vuode's Estats Xhenerais. He has since voted, along with the other Premiers, to call a Constitutional Convention and fix the problems of Vuode.

Other Activities in Talossa

On March 13, 2012, Viteu changed his Talossan name from Viteu Toctviac'hteir to Viteu Marcianüs. Viteu has hosted the Talossa News Project (TNP) for the last few years. The show consisted of Viteu interviewing different Talossans about day to day issues facing the kingdom.

Viteu contributed to a dandelion coloring book published in 2008.

Viteu was born in Bay Shore, NY on August 19, 1986. He remained in Bay Shore until his pre-teen years when he spent some time in Belleview, FL. During his 7th grade year, he moved to Brentwood, NY.

After dropping out of high school during his senior year, Viteu spent some time traveling the East Coast and lived in North Carolina and Georgia. He eventually found himself living in Oceanside, NY where he took his GED and started college at NCC in January, 2006. In 2008, he transferred to CUNY Hunter College where he majored in History and Political Science. Viteu moved to Clinton Hill, Brooklyn in February 2009. He graduated cum laude on May 29, 2012 with a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and with honors in History.
