Anyone know much about Micronations?

I enjoyed reading about Sealand just now A Visit to Sealand, the World’s Tiniest Nation - The Atlantic

That Danny Wallace guy wrote a book about trying to found one.

There’s a big ranch in Australia that reckoned it was a country. Good luck to them.

I remember him as being a bit annoying.

Been to Christiania in Copenhagen but there seems to be some disagreement as to whether this is a micronation or an anarchist commune.

Been to:

Kugelmugel - just a sphere in Prater, Vienna.

Christiania - as mentioned above, it’s alright

Would have went to the Other World Kingdom (The Other World Kingdom. Ever since I started reading about… | by DICTATORESS | Medium) for a laugh but it wasn’t active while I was in the CR.

Anyone want to start a country?

Just remembered this as well-

Whilst that text is fine I’d be a little bit careful about checking out anything else from that URL Kirkegaard is kind of a dubious character to put it lightly

Thanks, I didn’t realise. I was after the book a while back and found it online there. I can remove the link.

Actually I can’t remove it now. If he’s dodgy though I have no problems with it being removed.

Liked for wanting to start a new better country, not for whoever the link is

No worries I’ve replaced it with a link to the same text from another site :+1:
