Please add your national symbols (flag, coat of arms, official portrait of leader) place, date of founding in comments or dms so that your #micronation appears in our reports. We want to be as inclusive as we can. #micronations

Indeed! Of course there is an element of humour to what we have done, however we also set out to make real world changes and positive impact on the land we claimed. #micronations
A #micronation is a small, self-declared independent entity on a small piece of land or in cyberspace that claims to be sovereign but not recognized. Some #micronations are created as satire or social commentary, others are serious attempts to establish a new state.

What is Guanduania? We are a #micronation, a self-declared sovereign entity not recognized by any other sovereign nation, we don't seek recognition, we don't need to be recognized by anyone to exist and function. #micronations

On this day, three years ago, the Treaty of Santiago was published, which formalized the foundation of the Conference of Santiago, the main micronational organization in America!

The action arose from the understanding that tacit recognition serves as a tool to legitimize ephemeral projects or projects with dubious purposes. In addition to understanding that recognition does not guarantee the existence - or not - of a micronation.

No one has to recognize us…nor you, in order to be a “country.” It’s amazing how many (outside) people are misinformed and think “recognition” is required. It’s not! We love Micronationalism and its people. (Except the ones wearing Crocs.)
"We are real because we say we are" Creating a #micronation—even one with a physical location—may be a way to imagine escaping whatever its founders dislike about society at large...The story of #slowjamastan #micronations altaonline.com/dispatches/a4…

You’ve picked out a flag, written a national anthem, even printed money with your face on it. But what’s the next step? Creating a new country isn’t as easy as you think. #micronations #micronation #themicronationalist foreignpolicy.com/2008/02/26…

#Micronations are a global phenomenon. However, the ease with which they can be established (and abandoned) makes it difficult to work out the total number around the world. A disproportionately high number of micronations are in #Australia. #micronation theguardian.com/books/2022/o…

Utilizing the trappings of traditional nations (flags, national anthems, postage stamps, currency, specie, military uniforms, passports, etc.) the micronationalist’s creation becomes a part of objective reality, both to himself and to others #micronations

On 22 Nov 1999, the first micronational encyclopaedia, the Enciclopédia Jéssica, was published by Pedro Aguiar in Portuguese. It contained 561 entries on #micronations, people, micronational culture and micropatriology. Today, the articles are available on Wikimicropídia.

Well in our situation: we consider our message more important than our self-declared sovereignty. International recognition isn't a priority for us #micronation #micronationalism
