Now we just need a TV Tropes page.  Especially for Alanland.

There is one trope on TV Tropes (I believe Critical Research Failure or a related trope) that mentioned NYSDOT mixing up US and state shields.

Wikipedia has a good relationship with this forum. At least two admins on Wikipedia (Scott5114 and former admin seicer) are forum members; Bruce and NE2 also have significant time on Wikipedia. If you look at the list of featured articles, quite a lot of them are about roads; the only other groups that seems to have pushed for featured articles on Wikipedia are those with interests in coins, ships, and hurricanes.

Did find this:

https://micronations.wiki/wiki/Kingdom_of_Alanland
This kingdom know of our Alanland?

Different Alanland, apparently based in the UK.  Goat Jesus will not tolerate such heresy.

Fixed. Never link to mobile Wikipedia! It doesn't redirect to "normal" Wikipedia when on a computer (be it desktop or laptop), unlike the other way round.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

War?

Yes, the 3rd Butterfly Crusades. 

As some newer members might not be familiar with the pertinent history, it bears mentioning that the 3rd Butterfly Crusades are more commonly referred to as the 2nd Butterfly Crusades.  This confusion is officially due to the international date line (+1 900-462-8739) but most historians agree that it actually has its origin with a May Day radio broadcast announcing the end of hostilities, in which the announcer Don "Alan" McKnight mistakenly referred to the just-ended war as the 2nd Butterfly Crusades–which in actuality weren't even scheduled to begin for another seven months.  According to the narrative, this is also why there is officially no such thing as the 2nd Butterfly Crusades:  the name was officially changed to Crysalix 2.0 just two days after the May Day gaffe.
