Question #1: What is a micronation?

There are many different concepts of what a micronation is. A good overall definition of a micronation is a group of people who claim to be a sovereign nation, but is not recognized by any established state, or macronation. Here are two definitions of what micronations are:

a) 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.

-Peter Ravn Rasmussen

b) Micronations, microstates, imaginary countries, countercountries, unrecognized nations, or ephemeral states, are all terms for countries which have been declared independent by (usually eccentric) individuals or small groups, but unlike other such attempts, fail to achieve widespread diplomatic recognition. Many have only one inhabitant; others are larger. Most seem to consist of a single Grand Poobah, with or without a coterie of petites Poobahs. Talossa, however, counts over 50 citizens who have been part of its wild multiparty political structure. And there are reportedly 20,000 people with Hutt River citizenship or honors--more than several members of the UN!

In most cases, Micronation founders have declared dominion over land that actually exists; often tiny, isolated islands, sometimes under several feet of water. Like other countries, some of these nations have proclaimed declarations of independence, adopted constitutions, sought diplomatic recognition, sent out envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary, displayed coats-of-arms, and issued stamps, passports, and currency.

Question #2: Are Micronations REAL Nations?

It depends on who you ask!! If you call up your local embassy and ask if a micronation is a REAL nation, they will probably laugh at you. However, most micronationalists maintain that micronations are legitimate nation-states. It is impossible to participate in nation-states without believing that they are sovereign nations, not just "toys". Many micronations are very serious, and only have diplomatic relations with nations as serious as they are.
