-ART JOKE: Project TWADLE

As a conceptual art project, "claiming" areas of world territory ---mostly tiny uninhabited islets-- and proclaiming them part of Terry Ward's Art-Dominion Land-Empire (TWADLE). Documents informing owner-entities of the claims are sent; if owner-entities reply with written denial of the claim, the territory is considered a "former" part of TWADLE. TWADLE claims are purely symbolic and involve no actual changes of ownership, airspace, citizenship, wildlife use, funding, mineral rights, or other such territorial rights.

So is born an empire because, like with other world empires, some arrogant person decided it should be so ---and as always, never mind getting permission from those already present first. From the selection of territories to the designs of flags and all else, TWADLE is every bit arbitrary and potentially-pointless as any other empire: British, Soviet, French, Spanish, whatever. A relational-aesthetic dimension will unfold as owner-entities respond with denials of the land claims; documents sent to Emperor and King of TWADLE Terry Ward will be part of the art process. "The Sun never sets on TWADLE."
