For more information on Micronations, go to www.microwiki.org.uk to look at the current Micronations going (plus a few defunct ones).

Essentially, a Micronation is a simulationist (although some would try to pass it off as a secession) hobby, where you and your friends make a nation, engage in diplomacy and negotiation with other Micronations, and (if you are slowed) try to have wars when people pee you off.

I was just wondering if anybody here has heard of it, or even participate in this obscure hobby. Note that I do not mean Geofiction (You'll know what I'm talking about if this applies to you), but Micras claims are just as good in my book.

So anybody? The President-of-State of the St Peters Republic wishes to here from you!

I was under the impression a micronation had to be recognised to actually count as a micronation.

I was on one called the Socialist Republic of Novystranya or something like that when I was about 15.. was sort of amusing. The currency was vodka.

Ah, I see. But no, the whole idea of a Micronation is that it is unrecognised. A micronation doesn't get recognised nowadays because most of them are just simulation activities.
Now Sealand in the 70's, that was a secessionist state....
