Greetings fellow citizens :-)
I'm David Warin Solomons. I have written the National Anthem for this micronation at the request of Crown Prince Gerard.
You can hear an electronic preview and see the words on the main site.
(The system doesn't allow a link, perhaps a moderator can add it?)
I have various musical styles, most of which are tonal and lyrical, some humorous, some sad, some from the depths of England and some from countries far and wide.
Kind regards
David

My name is David S. Baker. I am Citizen 15-0129-001. I dabble in things medieval. I infrequently write a medieval blog and I run a medieval community page on Facebook I started in September of 2012. I am big fan of heraldry and I love the idea of creating a new nobility. I will do everything in my power to promote and help grow our new nation.

Hi David,
Let me check permissions in the group and for your rank -- Thanks for notifying me you couldn't place the link.  In the mean time here is the link to the most excellent National Anthem of Rheinbergen!

https://www.rheinbergen.de/national-anthem.html

Thanks Downy Emerald :-)

Dear David and David

Welcome to Fürstentum Rheinbergen.
It is great to have formidable people like you both as citizens in our young nation!

Greetings,
Gerard, Fürst von und zu Rheinbergen

Greetings DS,

Please try to post a URL here - I'm attempting to isolate the issue with David and haven't found it yet. Let me know how it turns out!

Thank you!

I should explain - the message I got was that I cannot post a link until I've been on the forum for at least 7 days, so it presumably won't affect DS who has been on the forum for longer.

Dear David,

That explains it all: it is a mechanism to stop spammers. So in a few days you can go ahead and post your URLs :-)

Regards,
Gerard, Fürst von und zu Rheinbergen

Thanks :-)

Thanks DS, worked great!

It does indeed David! ;-)

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm Kathy and thought I'd stop in and see what was going on.

Hello everyone and many thanks to The Prince and administrators for allowing me to participate here as an observer, having granted my admittance as a tourist.
I am a big supporter of ecological studies, protection of the environment with a long time interest in botany and horticulture. I also have studied  micronations
and micropatrology over the years.  Many of those here will find common friends from heraldry circles, as well.  Anyone curious about why I remain a visitor should feel
free to send me a PM.

Dear Doc Dave

On behalf of our entire micronation I bid you a warm welcome to Fürstentum Rheinbergen. We are very happy to have you with us and would love to hear your input in the field of ecological studies and the environment.
I do sincerely hope you will enjoy your time with us!

PS: As a Tourist you are part of our community, feel free to look around and partake!

Warmest Regards
Gerard

Dear follow citizens of our wonderful nation. First I want to sent my warm regards and greetings to our sovereign Prince, thank you kindly for giving me, and our fellow citizens, the chance of supporting our nation.  A few words about /me. The name my parents gave me is Harro and over the last 20 years I have had the chance of living and working in many countries of this world, from South Africa to Sweden and from Phoenix AZ to Tokyo. During the day I work as an interim manager for one of the big 4. As hobby I tent to build solutions based on common existing parts to automate, simplify or support day to day problems for both professionals as well as private persons.

My goal as citizen is to support my fellow citizens to bring our little nation to a rich and healthy level by sharing our knowledge, experience and visions.

To prosper and to lead! Hail to our Prince!

Dear Harro

On behalf of our entire nation and the Royal Family, we bid you a warm welcome dear Harro!
We thank you for your introduction and look forward to your continued support and input!
Warmest Regards,
Gerard, Fürst von und zu Rheinbergen

To our benevolent Royal Family and fellow citizens I bid greetings and salutations
I am James Rourke, a recently citizen to this great nation of Fürstentum Rheinbergen.

As I sit listening to our wonderful national anthem (with thanks to the court composer and fellow citizen David Solomons,) I am reminded of the joys and memories of my youth building rafts and sailing out to view local flora and fauna with my companions.  Let us be mindful of the words of the last stanza and rejoice in our new found nation.

Let songs of love for our river
wave over all nations
Together we are like a stream
That none can resist.

Dear James,

We thank you profusely for your kind comment and mindful phrasing of the national anthem. We hold you dear in our hearts and shall do all that is in our power to protect and serve you.

Warmest Regards,
Gerard, Fürst von und zu Rheinbergen

Greetings to all and especially to serine Prince Gerard,
I am honored to be one of the newest citizens of Rheinbergen.  I am a herald both at a local and regional level in my community.  DS Baker's interview with HSH Gerard was linked on one of the heraldry forums I frequent.  That brought me here.  In addition to heraldry I also know a few things about grass genetics and maintaining grasslands.  I hope to be a useful citizen.
Dan
