Given on the Occasion of the Lunar New Year by His Excellency, President Kevin Baugh
17 February 2026 XLIX
My Fellow Molossians, Greetings.
As we enter this new year we celebrate our nation, our people and our accomplishments. This past year has been a tumultuous one, marked by political turmoil abroad, disorder that looms over our tiny nation like a shadow. But within that shadow, our nation shines out, like a beacon in the night. We rise above the negativity and the mayhem to show the world a higher standard, what a great nation can be. Molossia leads the way among small nations and sets the standard to which others aspire. Daily our people labor mightily to grow and build Molossia and this travail shows in every fiber of who we are as Molossians. We know that greatness is not simply declared, but created. One cannot just state the glory that is one's nation without it being true, rather, because of who we are and what we have accomplished, we have made it true. The evidence is there for all to see, Molossia is mighty indeed. And we shall continue to build up this nation, to be even better. We have done much but we will not rest, as the work continues. The darkness around us is deep but our light is bright, and together we will build it up to be a bonfire for all the world to see.
