	What is Micronationalism?: An introduction - Global Policy Forum - Nations and States
		Indeed, the surface impression of micronationalism is that of a number of groups of adults, playacting imaginary nations.
		The word 'micronationalism' has only been in use for 10-15 years (in all probability, the word has been sporadically used as a spontaneously formed neologism before that, but the current usage was introduced in the late 1980s or early 1990s).
		Others take it somewhat more seriously, viewing micronationalism as a political simulation - their primary motivation for taking part in the micronational community is thus to gain insight into the political process, with a view to making use of this experience in a 'real-world' context.

	Bill Dusch - Microwiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He tends to be paranoid in micronationalism, especially in the countries he was in - a flaw of his that has lead to much trouble, especially in Jasonia and Menelmacar.

	Micronationalism in Papua New Guinea
		In the context of this book, the term ‘micronationalism’ describes a varied collection of movements which display a common tendency to disengage from the wider economic and political systems imposed by colonial rule, seeking instead an acceptable formula for their own development through some combination of traditional and modern values and organisational forms.
		The author examines the emergence of micronationalism, the development of marginal cargo cults, local protest movements, self-help development movements, regional separatist movements, and micronationalism and government policy.
		Though micronationalism in Melanesia has seldom taken the form of ‘extremist political movements’, for the educated elite, participation in micronationalist movements has probably been motivated often by a felt need to justify themselves to themselves and to their village peers.
