The Elarian Cultural Renaissance is in full swing. After the economic recession began just nine days ago, multiple citizens are already engaging in creative projects. Pontunia and Ela’r’oech also have regained their positive relations, similar to those in late 2021 and early 2022.
Ela’r’oech’s Charles Madgett and Pontunia’s Andrew Perdomo have come together to form an ‘indie pop duo’ known as Momentum – which they make sure is stylized as MOMENTUM.

The duo have released their first track – though unofficially – as a demo titled ‘Live With You.’ The track has already garnered significant attention from Elarians, Pontunians, and Americans alike. Listeners commented to the track as it was posted live on YouTube in a video featuring an audio visualizer and facts about the group.
ENS rates this track a 6/10 for normal listeners, but an 8/10 for those specifically in the micronational community. This track and MOMENTUM’s existence are proof that a renaissance is happening in Ela’r’oech, and proof that micronationalists can make something that doesn’t sound grating. In fact, the track was not harsh at all. The mixing was produced well, with composition also serving as a big positive. However, the composition could have lasted longer than a ten second loop.
Regardless, this is both a milestone for the Elarian and micronational communities in ENS’ book.
