On the day it was revealed, the following text was displayed on the page, on which fans could register.

In an official email the purpose of the microsite was revealed:
- "Not only are we launching a new website today, but we're also taking registrations over at http://ununitedeurasia.muse.mu for :something pretty special that will be starting in the next couple of days. Those of you who have been keeping up with Matt's :comments on Twitter will have an idea of what this is all about, but let's just say... if you want to be the first to hear a new :song from The Resistance, then get yourself registered today. It's going to need a whole lot of fans all around the world to make :it work so tell your friends and stay tuned!"
The advancement of the project therefore seems to be determined on the number of registered users.
