The Kingdom of EnenKio, or "EnenKio" for short, is a small separatist group of Marshall Islander heritage who lay claim to the United States' unincorporated territory of Wake Island. EnenKio seeks recognition as a sovereign Micronesian state in the Northern Marshall Islands.

Name

The Kingdom of EnenKio derives its name from the native name of the northernmost Marshallese atoll, Eneen-Kio Atoll, which was also once written as Enen-kio. In the Marshallese language, Enen-kio means "Island of the orange flower."

History

The Kingdom of EnenKio was first conceived in 1987. It began to emerge in 1993 and was formally established in 1994. Murjel Hermios became its first Monarch and, following his death in December 1998, his brother Remios Hermios became second Monarch. The government of EnenKio claims it is determined to peacefully gain occupation of Wake Island to benefit the king, EnenKio citizens, and any persons who desire freedom from oppressive political or social systems.

Location of land claim

Wake Island comprises three proximate coral atolls currently known as Peale Island, Wake Island, and Wilkes Island. In aggregate they comprise an area of approximately 6.5 km² and are situated approximately 2,300 statute miles west of the Hawaiian Islands and 2,000 miles from Japan. The nearest island neighbor is Bokak Atoll of the Marshall Islands group, some 300 miles to the south. Westerners have called Wake Island by different names throughout history, such as San Francisco, Lamira, Disclerta, Halcyon, Helsion, and Wilson.

Basis of claim

The Kingdom of EnenKio bases their claim over Wake Island upon primarily three factors.

Firstly, some scant indigenous Marshallese oral tradition suggests that, prior to European exploration, nearby Marshall Islanders travelled to what is now Wake Island, which the ancient travelers called Enen-kio after a small orange shrub-flower said to have been found on the island. In ancient Marshallese religion, rituals surrounding the tattooing of tribal chiefs, called Iroijlaplap, were done using certain fresh human bones, which required a human sacrifice. A man could save himself from being sacrificed if he obtained a wing bone from a certain very large seabird said to have existed on Enen-kio. Small groups would therefore brave traveling to the island in hope of obtaining and returning with this bone, thus saving the life of the potential human sacrifice.

Secondly, EnenKio's Monarch claims to be a direct descendent of ancient travellers to Wake Island, as described above.

Thirdly, and based upon the above two factors, EnenKio bases their claim upon concepts of first-usage lands rights commonly held in Micronesian cultures as legitimate for settling indigenous land disputes. EnenKio leaders assert that, since their ancestors were the first to make use of the island, their claim over it should take precedence over all subsequent claims, namely those of the Marshall Islands and United States governments.

Foreign Documents & Links

TREATIES with other nations Recognition Letter by the Government of the Country of Oceanus Link to: United Nations Charter - This link is for your convenience because it is the position of the government of EnenKio that the portions of the Charter respecting relations among the states and human rights issues apply equally to the U.S. and EnenKio irrespective of whether the state is "recognized." Yet, the U.S. refuses to comply with those international fundamental principles. Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations - This link is also for your convenience because, while EnenKio has acceded to this treaty, the UN and U.S. refuse to acknowledge EnenKio as a sovereign state entitled to privileges and immunities as prescribed, under this treaty, which has its foundation in the law of Nations & universal International Law.
