Micronationalist thread

Postby Ovisterra » Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:00 pm

Basically, this is a thread for micronationalists like myself (and any other RL nations that dislike the term or are much bigger). As far as I can tell, there's no thread like this out there.

So, introduce yourselves! We can discuss things like amount of area our nations have, populations, flags etc. Obviously only give away as much as you are comfortable with. Non-micronationalists, feel free to ask me questions about the "hobby" (as I call it. Others regard it more seriously).

Personally, I have a 3x4m space with one permanent resident and no international recognition, but hey, we're taking things slowly. My flag is the same as my NS one, my currency and national animal likewise.

Wait, are you seriously saying you have your own personal micronation?

It's easy... Just say "My house is a country!" and you have a micronation.

Darn straight. The United Socialist Republic of Ovisterra exists in RL. Ok, we have a population of 1 and 12 meters square of space, but whatever.

I have a micronation.

I call it New Leningrad, and it has two permanent residents; me and my cat Toby. I'm the Premier and my cat is the Deputy Premier. Currently, I run theft missions against the kitchen downstairs, effectively proving that I can steal from the USA. :p

Micronations are ridiculous. You don't like the country you live in? Change it. Even for fun, it's a waste of time.

I should start demanding passports, or yelling about "acts of war" when my friends enter my bedroom.

Wow, I never knew that there were other micronationalists in NS. Cool! I have a micronation based on my NS nation, as that was my original goal. Take a look in my sig, there is a link to my website.

Do you guys have websites?

Monarch: His Majesty Seumas I MacPhadraig Uitail, King of Strathy, Emperor of the Strathan Realms
Prime Minister: The Right Honourable Sir Arthur Whitegrave KC KStr. MP (Democratic Labour)

That should solve the problem... Or drive away your friends. But who needs friends when your commanding a nation?

I am Irish. Parents moved when I was one or two. Have to ask.

In light of this, the New Leningrad parliament (featuring prominent members such as Perry Pillow and Terry Television) are planning to rename the country Neo-Dublin. :p

What do you do in your spare time?

Game? Waste of time by your definition. Listen to Music? Waste of time by your definition. Play music? Waste of time by your definition. Play sports? Waste of time by your definition. Read? Waste of time by your definition.

Dude, fun doesn't have to have a point, except fun.

Oh and I am changing my country of residence, even if the location is the same.
