Talk:List of micronations/Archive 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm pretty sure neither Denmark nor Kazakhstan count as micronations by any definition of the term, so removing them. The Wikipedia article on micronations seems to imply they are restricted to very tiny, generally unrecognized countries, which would mean Djibouti (a tiny, one-island country, but well-established and well-recognized) should be removed as well.

If I declare my bedroom independent, can I get it on the list? King Danny I
Noticing that there is a micronation here named Purple Bunny, I think my previous question has been answered. Danny
Is this list anything more than a vanity project? Most of the micronations listed have an *extremely* tenous existence - many, in fact are already defunct.
I suggest
- removing all real nations from this page
- keeping this page, but as a list of names, not a list of links
- Well done to everyone who helped fix this page up. One query: why was Aerican Empire removed - Does someone know for sure that it's not a micronation? -Martin
- I assume that the only entities listed here are ones deserving of separate articles. Aerica is an 'interplanetary empire' run by a bunch of schoolkids as a website - ie it's a fantasy country, and doesn't really qualify. G
- It's mentioned in the micronation article as an example of a micronation. Likewise the Kingdom of Hay-on-Wye. Incidentally, if Aerica goes, TorHavn probably should as well.
Does Christiania qualify as a micronation? What about The Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland ( http://www.krev.org/ )? // Liftarn 16:56 Jan 13, 2003 (UTC)
The latter doesn't have a wikipedia article, so for now it can be excluded on that basis. I'm unsure about christinia Martin
- Christiana probably should have an article. The rest are fantasies. G
- Christiania actually has an article where it states "Christiania, also known as the Free State of Christiania is a partially self-governing neighborhood in the city of Copenhagen, Denmark, which has established semi-legal status as an independent community." // Liftarn
The dmoz link was removed with "removed fantasy link" as the reason. Could 202.138.194.10 elaborate on that reason, please?
- I did not remove the dmoz link. I removed the Pacifica link.
Should Transdniester be added here? According to a programme broadcast by the BBC, it "has its own president, currency, stamps, customs regime, foreign policy and national anthem, but Transdniester is recognised by no nation on earth."
Perhaps a separation of fantasy nations from real aspirant states would help. Categories might be based on those listed on the micronations page. --Suitov
No, I don't think Transnistria should be listed as a micronation. First, it's too big. Second, although it isn't recognized by any government, Russia supports it militarily and the US understands its diplomatic relevance. Third, according to its web site Transnistria desires unification with Moldova on acceptable terms. So I don't see how its situation differs materially from that of Taiwan, which nobody considers a micronation.
