GISHWHES 2016 was held from 30 July - 6 August. One of the tasks for that year was to join a [[micronation]]. [[Westarctica|Westarctica's]] relatively painless application process initially drew a fair number of new citizens.

However, citizenship requests began to pour in after a few new citizens shared the link to the application on several GISHWHES forums and groups, and an announcement that applications would be expedited for GISHers. This strained the application page to the point that alternate means of sending in applications had to be created.
