What is a micronation?

​

Generally, a micronation is any self-proclaimed nation whose sovereignty is not recognized by any legitimate world government.  A micronation can take many forms, including:

​​

• A collection of brave souls trying to establish a new country.
   

• A group of people claiming sovereignty from an existing government.
   

• A model country that exists solely as work of fiction, or just for fun.
   

• A tiny jurisdiction that has escaped the notice of major powers.
