    Default Micronation

    After read the post about an autonomous center, it makes me think about the micronation.
    I don't know if some of you are aware of that stuff.

    "A micronation, sometimes referred to as a model country or new country project, is an entity that claims to be an independent nation or state but is not officially recognized by world governments or major international organizations.Micronations are distinguished from imaginary countries and from other kinds of social groups (such as eco-villages, campuses, tribes, clans, sects, and residential community associations) by expressing a formal and persistent, even if unrecognized, claim of sovereignty over some physical territory.
    Several micronations have issued coins, flags, postage stamps, passports, medals, and other items, which are rarely accepted outside of their own community.
    The earliest known micronations date from the beginning of the 19th century. The advent of the Internet provided the means for people to create many new micronations, whose members are scattered all over the world and interact mostly by electronic means, often calling their nations Nomadic Countries. The differences between such Internet micronations, other kinds of social networking groups, and role playing games are often hard to define.[1]
    The term "micronation" to describe those entities dates at least to the 1970s.[2] The term micropatrology is sometimes used to describe the study of both micronations and microstates by micronationalists, some of whom refer to sovereign nation-states as "macronations"."


    A lot of them have just for goal to staisfy the ego of the creator who declare himself King. But some other have for aim to create utopia.

    The last hundred pages of the official history would just consist of "redrum" scrawled in the blood of revisionists.

    A RevLeft micronation should owe up to its class character and officially style itself the Deformed Workers' Soviet Republic (of West Western-Southern South Utrecht), but then we'd earn us the support of Sparts. A big con.

    Unless you are willing to live with vastly lower standard of life (ie pre-industrial) and with medication being limited to whatever you grow you would be hard pressed to create a micro state. Lowering your lifespan to >40 seems like you would be replacing one tyranny for an even worse one.

    Good luck with that, the peoples militia of Sealand are fairly capable "In August 1978, Alexander Achenbach, who describes himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to spearhead an attack on Sealand while Bates and his wife were in England.[9] They stormed the platform with speedboats, jet skis and helicopters, and took Bates' son Michael hostage. Michael was able to retake Sealand and capture Achenbach and the mercenaries using weapons stashed on the platform. Achenbach, a German lawyer who held a Sealand passport, was charged with treason against Sealand[9] and was held unless he paid DM 75,000 (more than US$35,000 or £23,000)"

    The Marxist-Leninist group on here could count as a micronation in its own right, though if it were to become official it might get into an ideological conflict with the Stalinist Society. One funny thing I came across in my studies was that monasteries in medieval Anatolia sometimes got into physical conflicts over territory which would escalate to their going at it with sticks and stones. If history really does repeat itself first as tragedy and second as farce then things might get ugly around here.

    Only if the forkliftists can make their forklifts amphibious.
