Imagine losing the presidency to a goat
Jammy James it was election fraud!
#StopTheEat
#goats
CR7
Billy Gumboot is goat
Murtle the turtle is human
WHAT???
Why does this sound like a curse rather than a nation?
Cause you're not used to Maori?
Because Maori
Cool video! As a Kiwi I really enjoyed it. However, "Wh" in most Maori names here are pronounced "F" and the following a becomes more of an o. So in the case of Whangamomona it would be pronounced Fonga-momona. It's confusing and many kiwis get it wrong too!
Once you know the consonants, wh = f, and ng being used at the beginning of words; it's pretty simple.
The vowels (a: ah, e: eh, i: ee, o: awe, u: ew) are all the same length unless they are marked as long (ā, ē, ī, o, ū).
Not sure how you got Monoma at the end tho
@Adam Beswick Can I Eat You?

I love this micronation! It is my favorite so far!
Make a video on how to start a MicroNation.
I take wangamomonia more seriously than 3rd wave feminism.
me too
J. Alexander Gonzales, Jr. lol
And CNN.
And the Trump presidency
*4th
Good to see you back now.
The name Whangamomona translates from two words, literally meaning 'fat valley' - Whanga meaning 'valley' and momona meaning 'fat'. It gets its name from the bountiful number of birds that lived in the forests prior to European settlement in the area. The Māori would be able to quickly fill up their bags and feed the birds to the families in their tribe, or Pā.
Great video! Definitely don't envy you on having to pronounce those New Zealand place names haha, those can be difficult. I started my own channel where I talk about geography/history, and pronunciation is something I'm worrying the most about haha.
DiscoveRoss you've just gotta look for IPA.
Awesome :DDD I love your channel!
I love how new Zealand didn't even intervene😆
yayy, new vid!
Check out ours! Broccotropolis! Look us up if you want thanks we are a micronation based in a high school hahahaha since 2014
A country inside a high school? AWESOME!
+MicroNation this ones cool make one about Molossia please thanks!
all hail aydan.
Love this channel
Amazing
THIS IS GREAT
MORE VIDS
what the actual fuck is this channel?
I LOVE IT THOUGH
These videos are incredible lollll
This was uploaded in my birthday
This one is so lol worthy I love it
You keep pronouncing it "Whangamonoma". :P
Great video nonetheless.
Yet Whangamomonians seems fine
Yeh the language is confusing
I love seeing fellow New Zealanders saying they pronounced things wrong, c'mon kiwis, give him a break he isn't from here. :P
Emperor_Mudkipz can't agree more. It dose annoy me slightly when they mispronounce the native language of my country. But we would be the same trying to say words or names from other country's
Why is it that I have lived in the north island of New Zealand my entire life but never heard of this micro nation? I should go and visit it someday
I actually created a country on my house on Fortaleza, Ceara in Brazil
I'm crazy?
Yes? Vote 😛 No? Vote 🙂
Middle ground
I live in New Zealand and the north island and this seems pretty strange as well as having animals as president and i have to find this place and visit it
you should do a video on the republic of molossia , the empire of atlantium or the principality of Wy
The pronunciation Manawatu-Wanganui was quite a bit off but u were close with Taranaki, and I live in PN the capital of M-W and I have never heard anyone call us Man-Wangers, though i have never been to Whangamomona
Also while Manawatu-Wanganui is one region they r quite separate and have very different rugby teams, Manawatu currently has the mighty Turbos and Wanganui has the Butchers, so its not the turbos they hated like u showed but Wanganui.
It flows more then how u were saying, u were breaking the syllables up as u said the word, though I am european kiwi and thus don't pronounce it the maori way as all maori names have slightly been changed over time, but it is said more like Munawa-too, with the Munawa said fast until the t hits and then moves into a longer oo or u sound connecting to the t. Though I am no expert. And I am not even going to try with Wanganui as the pronunciation has tons of things in there that muck me up and I don't wish to offend people over the missing H which changes the whole pronunciation completely.
Though with Whangamomona the Wh should sound like an F not a w, this is also what i was talking about with the missing H in Wanganui
Try Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu, it is the longest place name in NZ
Advisor: Mr President, a shortage of goat food has killed several goat, what should we do?
Billy: baaaaaa baaaaaa a baaaaaaaa
Greetings from Wefren!
I have never heard of this micronaiton
Ahhh I love micro nations
NOTE: The 'wh' sounded like 'v' in NZ.
revin hatol Ooh ouch no it doesn't.
The wh is pronounced like a f e.g. whanganui is pronounced fung-a-nu-ee
I hope my pet tortoise, Mr. Tortoise gets elected
I love this micro country
I'm a Kiwi 🇳🇿 and this is the first I'm hearing of this.
Imagine if a family bought an oil rig and called it 'Oceanland'!
Man I would like to have a cat president *vote for Mr Whiskers for a brighter future*
I was born in New Zealand in 2003 and moved out in 2016 and never heard of this once.
Hey guys I own a micronation in texas but its still a work in progress and because custom governments are allowed when making a nation I have made it a heirarchristism government meaning that I have over 20 sub-divison of ranks under me and of course it would be named the heirarchy of contrrïä
I have a micronation called Leoland and it is my bedroom an island that I discovered
Imagine this would be your nations history
Conspiracy theory: Both Ian Kjestrup and Murt Kennard (Murtle the Turtle) died aged 61.
micronations always have the best stories
MicroNation have you ever heard of game Nationstates?

I didn't even know about this and I live there. But I'm honestly not even surprised. This is exactly the kind of shenanigans kiwi's get up to when they get mad.
My second favorite micronation, my first one is the Kingdom of Sidera
Do Molossia or Lovely next.
MONA MONA!
DO-DOOO-DODODOOO!
The republic day parade is great. They always get one of the local farmers to heard sheep down the main road.
Micronations are funny.
EDIT: With animals as President LOL
This is weird but cool
Kenneth Madison we're just having too much fun here in NZ.

Imagine losing in politics by a animal that was not human.
