	Micronation
		Micronations are often quite small, in both their claimed territory and claimed populations — although there are some exceptions to this rule.
		The academic study of micronations and microstates is termed micropatrology, and the hobby of establishing and operating micronations is known as micronationalism.
		Given that these types of micronations are almost exclusively the domain of male adolescents, it has been suggested by some that they represent an escapist manifestation of the desire by their proponents to better control their environment.

	Micronation
		Micronational activities were disproportionately common throughout Australia in the final three decades of the 20th century.
		Micronational hobbyists received a significant boost in the mid 1990s when popularization of the internet gave them the ability to promote their activities to a global audience.
		Micronations of the first type tend to be fairly serious in outlook, involve sometimes significant numbers of relatively mature participants, and often engage in highly sophisticated, structured activities that emulate the operations of realworld nations[?].

	Micronation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Micronations – sometimes also referred to as cybernations, fantasy countries, model countries, and new country projects – are entities that resemble independent nations or states, but which are unrecognized by them, and for the most part exist only on paper, on the Internet, or in the minds of their creators.
		Micronations also differ from secession and self-determination movements in that they are largely viewed as being eccentric and ephemeral in nature, and are often created and maintained by a single person or family group.
		Micronations should also be distinguished from entities that have diplomatic relations with other recognized nation-states of the world without being formally recognized themselves by many nation-states or accepted by major international bodies (such as the UN), for example the Republic of China (Taiwan).

	About Micronations - AntiWiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A micronation is an entity created and maintained as if it were a nation and/or a state, and generally carrying with it some, most or all of the attributes of nationhood, and likewise generally carrying with it some of the attributes of statehood.
		Though a micronation may well have begun as a mere drollery, it has the potential (given the evolution of a sufficiently vital national culture) to develop into a true nation, and possibly to achieve statehood.
		Micronations take on varying forms, from the small discussion forum based nation, which can be quite lively to the more complex and sometimes industrial nations who exist both online and offline, with several hundred Active citizens.

	What is Micronationalism?: An introduction - Global Policy Forum - Nations and States
		Seen from the perspective of the established states (usually termed "macronations" in the micronational jargon), the micronations are an irrelevance, hardly to be taken seriously.
		The concept of a "micronation" thus extends across the spectrum from a few people "playing at countries" to (relatively) large and successful ventures with all the attributes of a major nation, except for size.
		The answer, in my opinion, is: not if the micronation has managed to establish an actual "national" culture - which is to say, a culture that can unite the constituent members around a common goal, an ideal of community and togetherness.

	F.A.Q.

	On the Prosperity of Micronations - Microwiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The success of a micronation is contributed of multiple factors, and to truly analyze it, you would need to be completely out of the hobby - pretty much be a psychologist to study the nature of those who are in micronations.
		It is important to recognize all of the different factions in your micronation, understand what worries they have, and try to make all of the individual factions pleased enough that they will not openly complain a lot.
		Most successful micronations start out as "personality micronations" - micronations that are based on the will of one person, whose micronation can be considered an "extent" of that person.

	What is the Fifth World?
		Micronations are often started by young people, and some are started by kids who haven’t even reached their teenage years yet.
		Though most micronations seem like attempts to secede from their countries of origin, and potential threats to older, more recognized nations, even countries that are obsessed with issues of security and sovereignty have learned, through time, that these micronations are nothing to be seriously concerned with.
		While micronation holders are busy with work revolving around their political titles, Fifth World leaders are actually not involved in politics at all, whether national or micronational, and are busy in doing other things, which involve their nation, and national resources, but that are not strictly Kingly or Presidential occupations.

		Micronations should not be confused with legitimately recognized, but geographically tiny nations such as Fiji, Monaco, and San Marino, for which the term microstate is more accurate and descriptive.
		Fifth World nations have also developed other original micronational concepts, such as Bucksfanian astrology, the Cesidian calendar, the Indigo race concept, and the Tallinian Linguistic Classification System, amply demonstrating that their culture is second to none, and that they have nothing to envy even from culturally developed First World nations.

	A Message from His Holy, Imperial Majesty - Holy Empire of Réunion (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Micronational studies also mention the so-called projectist micronations, which would be projects of an ideal nation, where a government system and a social structure are developed, but what has been created is not intended to become into an active microcountry.
		A micronation becomes influential not for its "military power"—something thoroughly nonexisting in the Micronational World (most nations repudiate the idea of an actual micronational war; the maximum one could see would be a verbal conflict, a "Cold War"), but only after the evaluation of the following interdependent criteria: activity, credibility, micronational history of their leaders.
		Micronations may be wrongly regarded as "silly plays", or even an "insane mix of real and virtual worlds", but one thing is unanimous: they are an extremely interesting, complex and almost inexhaustible subject.

	Micronations.Net - Start Your Own Micronation
		There are many reasons why you might want to start your own micronation - to have a bit of fun, to create a community or your own realistic version of a government, to found a more serious nation of people, or even try and create your own state with actual territory and recognised sovereignty.
		The easiest type of micronation to create (and therefore the most numerous) is a model country, that tries to emulate an existing type of government.
		Of course, there's nothing to stop a micronation claiming actual territory - in most cases land or property owned or lived in by its founders or 'donated' by its citizens, or sometimes the few parts of the world that cannot be claimed by actual nation-states.
