Difference between revisions of "GISH"

On 29 July 2018, Grand Duke Travis began receiving requests from participants of GISH (as the name had been shortened to) who were seeking to obtain a deed of land that had been granted to a rock, tree, or other natural object. This was in the spirit of the Jackson Oak, a 95-year old oak tree in Athens, Georgia that legally owns itself and the land under its branches. As Westarctica has no trees, the Grand Duke decided to name rocks or pebbles after whoever made the request for the land deed. That rock or pebble was then legally granted one square foot of land in Westarctica with 99 years of tax exemption. Shortly after the beginning of the week-long event, the Grand Duke made a public announcement that created a similar deluge of requests for aid in the task.
