Micronations: the Footnotes of History - Part 1 of 2

[SpantorsanGovernment]

This is what started the micronation of Spantorsa.

[Spantorsa]

For all you new people. Your micronation must be serious.

[TylerTheMoron]

I made a micronation with my friends. We made an awesome government and economic system, and we lived a primitive lifestyle there when we went there. We were bush crafters so we made a little village about 15 acres or so, but we had 30 acres of forest to get resources from. It was pretty cool, but on April 27 2011 it was destroyed by strong wind. :/ Hope we can rebuild Bebalonia.

I want my own Sealand!!!!!!!! That would be great

[KingofNewAnglia]

I have my own Micronation, it is currently the Grand Barony of Voltar but on New Years day it will become the Kingdom of New Anglia...

[TheMedievalMan]

So is Israel a micronation for not being recognized by 30 something states?

[Georgivs2]

@TheMedievalMan No.

Goust Info (2) Although self-governing for centuries, Goust's independence was recognized by France and Spain only in 1648. The government consisted of a Council of Ancients composed of 3-12 citizens, who elected a President for a term of five years. The community population fluctuates between 50 and 150 residents, who pay no taxes or imposts of any kind. The traditional economy was based on animal husbandry, wool, and silk production, augmented more recently by tourism.

[Krygon2]

Goust occupies one square mile on a plateau at the southern end of the valley of the Gave d'Ossau in the Western Pyrenees, across the river from Eaux-Chaudes. Goust is accessible only by a narrow mountain footpath across the Pont d'Enfer. The nearest town is Laruns in the valley below. For centuries it was governed as an independent republic, and was never formally annexed by France.

Goust has not recently asserted its claim to independence, so is generally considered a part of France.

@Spanionte what is ?

[karlmarx1488]

Any information ANYWHERE about the republic of Gust? (after the island of elleore) And nothing written or named, just pronounced. So im having to guess how its spelled..

[Georgivs2]

@karlmarx1488 I'm not certain I understand what you mean by "after Elleore". Most modern micronatons are "after Elleore". In any case I've never heard of any micronation called Gust. Where is it supposed to be located?

[meatisdeliciouse]

Are you part of one of these micro nations Georgivs2?

[Georgivs2]

@meatisdeliciouse I'm the chief executive of Atlantium.

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Georgivs2 HA HA, I'm just writing a letter to Atlantim right now, how ironic, do you know what an international reply coupon is? If I send you a letter will you send one back to me? I can pay for the postage, if you do reply will you use Atlantium stamps?

Does this mean the Australin police can't entre your country withough permision? I have sent letters to Sealand & Molossia, the Molossian president said he sent me a letter in the post.

[Georgivs2]

@meatisdeliciouse in answer to your questions: yes, yes, yes and no.

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Georgivs2 I've just send your letter in the post.

[Georgivs2]

@meatisdeliciouse Great. I'll look out for it.

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Georgivs2 He he, Exelent. I put 3 international reply coupons in, that "should" cover the postage back, I havent chequed the rates though but I hope it's enough for a normal letter weighing 100g. Is your country split into two pices? Have you ever done a state visit to Molassia or Sealand before? Hey, I will look foreward to reciving a letter in the post. If I ever go to australi I will try to Visit Atlantim.

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Georgivs2 Did you get my letter in the post yet sir?

[Georgivs2]

@meatisdeliciouse Yes. I've not yet had time to respond, but will try to do so in the next mont or so. Please be patient.

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Georgivs2 No worries. 

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Georgivs2 I have an Australian pen pal who is a police man you know.

[meatisdeliciouse]

@Georgivs2 Why is your country split into two pices?

[AuburnAttack21]

I don't suppose you're going to expand into the MicroWiki States, and the history of many other rich micronations that might well grow very popular indeed. And you wouldn't even touch upon the Republic of Ultamiya?

[Georgivs2]

@AuburnAttack21 *I'm* not going to 'expand into' anything. I'm not the writer, producer or director of this pilot project - merely one of the people in it. Personally, I have very close to zero interest in online fantasy micronations.

[AuburnAttack21]

@Georgivs2

I understand, however the community I'm referring to is not all full of them. That would be Micras. MicroWiki is full of semi-serious territorial micronations like ourselves.

[Georgivs2]

@AuburnAttack21 Micras is a group of about a dozen micronational fantasists in their late teens and early 20s. Microwiki is a slightly larger group of younger teen micronational fantasists. Both groups are made up of completely anonymous individuals who make outrageous claims to "seriousness" that have either no basis in reality or are totally unverifiable. Together they represent a very very tiny, very very inconsequential sliver of the overall micronational spectrum.

[Danesland]

wow!
