On 27 September | On 27 September 2022, Emperor Andrew posted a 23-minute video announcing that he had been invited to attend [[MicroCon 2023]], but he declined the invitation because attending such an event would not benefit Stomaria in any way. He then went on to disparage most of the micronations which have attended previous MicroCons, including the [[Republic of Molossia]], [[Westarctica]], and [[Republic of Slowjamastan|Slowjamastan]], among others. The overwhelming response to this video was outrage at his statements, tone, and attitude. | ||
The following day, the Sultan of Slowjamastan released a music video remixing Emperor Andrew's speech called "Friends Without Benefits." This video was met with widespread acclaim. On 3 October 2022, Emperor Andrew posted a lengthy reply video addressing the outrage and ridicule. During this speech, he further insulted many prominent members of the micronational community, calling out anyone he felt had criticized and mocked him, including at least two individuals who had not weighed in on the matter publicly. Emperor Andrew was further derided for his second video. | The following day, the Sultan of Slowjamastan released a music video remixing Emperor Andrew's speech called "Friends Without Benefits."
