Any entity which has the appearance of being a sovereign state but isn't.
Micronations are usually created and maintained by one person or family. Many exist solely on the internet, or in the imagination of their creators. Some have a more corporeal existence, occupying a defined - albeit often tiny - geographical areas, and producing arefacts such as stamps, coins, banknotes, passports, medals and flags.
Micronations are generally viewed as eccentric and vaguely amusing by most external observers.
Micronations should not to be confused with microstates, which are small legitimate sovereign states such as the Vatican, Monaco, Andorra or San Marino.
Nor should they be confused with legitimate self-determination or secessionist groups, who are typically have many hundreds or thousands of active supporters.
Sealand, an abandoned World War 2 gun platform off the coast of Essex, is the world's best known micronation.

A small, usually unrecognised state or country. Micronation's are formed using the declarative theory of sovereignty, and that means it is only relevant within said Micronation's boarders.
"I am the founder of my own Micronation, no-one has recognised us, yet..."

While this once was a term indicating a small sovereign nations, it now refers to any group of people, or even an individual, self-proclaiming statehood under the auspices of a simulation or roleplaying game, as a hobby, or even simply for purposes of internet socializing, most commonly by children under the age of consent.
Do not confuse a micronation with a sessessionist state or Pocket State, the latter are serious political movements and groups.
That's not a real country! That's just St. Charlie or Atlantium, you know...micronations!

The non-existant internet software firm featured in the New Republic's May 18, 1998 issue. Was the main focus of an article written by Stephen Glass. Glass was fired after Adam L. Penenberg of Forbes magazine proved his article to be a hoax, along with 27 other articles written by Glass in past issues.
I wonder why I can't find Jukt Micronics listed in anywhere on the web?

A Micronational War Is when a Micronation Declares war on a other Micronation, Micronational War is not deadly, It's like a nerf war, But with airsoft at times (Usually airsoft) Actual rifles may be owned by a micronational owner but they wont use it, Cus It's not very legal to shoot someone, INFACT IT IS VERY ILLEGAL to shoot someone, Don't do that.
OI IMA DECLARE Micronational War ON YA!
