The Microstates Site

This site, which was just launched today, will attempt to collect as much information as possible on the most serious attempts at self declared independence. They are often called micronations, however micronations only exist on the internet, in an extremely limited space of land or in the minds of their creators. This means that these serious self declared countries can be decribed as microstates, with the exception that they are generally not recognised (and even this is not completely true).

To begin with, this site has chosen three of these more serious microstates, they are:

  • The Principality of Sealand

  • The Principality of Hutt River

  • The Empire of Atlantium

While there are numerous self-declared states across the world, we have chosen these three as they are considered by many to be some of the few serious attempts at self-declared independence.
