Conventions
[edit]- Micronation convention – a proposed convention intended to apply to all relevant articles in the Micronations category on Wikipedia.
- I just re-open the discussion to update the definition of micronationalism --Delle89 (talk) 17:54, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Open tasks
[edit]- Republic of Molossia - Needs to be re-written to conform with numerous WP policies. And, it says "in the U.S.", which is not true. Molossia is surrounded by, not in, the U.S.
- New Utopia - Article needs to be re-written, as content and tone of recently added material was found to be inaccurate and legally contentious. There is ongoing discussion on the article talk page concerning this.
- Grand Duchy of Avram - Existing references need to be cited in-line.
- Sovereign State of Aeterna Lucina - Additional media references need to be sourced and added as citations.
- Aerican Empire - Wholesale cleanup required to conform with WP policies.
- Kingdom of Elleore - Needs significant expansion, addition of references and citations.
- Ladonia (micronation) - Add in-line citations.
- Wirtland - Needs to be updated in connection with release of gold coin, creation of Global Antiwar Party, other developments
- Holy Empire of Reunion - There are many references to be added (more than 20) that are on scanned images that can be found here <link redacted> and they should be cited in-line
- Slabovia - Draft Article exists but can't get approval for posting. Slabovia was host to MicroCon 2019 in Hamilton, Ontario[1].
- Aynvaul - Draft Article exists but need help finding more sources before Draft:Aynvaul can be approved. Aynvaul was on the list of attending micronations to MicroCon 2017 hosted by the Kingdom of Ruritania in Atlanta, Georgia[2], the micronation itself is located on Long Island, New York[3][4][5]
- Kingdom of Ruritania - There was a mention of this micronation on the page for Ruritania however it was removed. This micronation is significant in that it is one of the major organizers to MicroCon, having hosted MicroCon 2017[6], is located at an "embassy" in Atlanta, Georgia[7] This micronation can either be added to the existing fictional country page as a footnote or its own page can be created for the same reasons a different page was created for Molossia to distinguish it from the historical Molossian Kingdom in Greece.

Articles that need to be created
[edit]- Empire of Adammia - This is a well known micronation within the micronational community
- Grand Unified Micronational - This is a well-known intermicronational organisation within the micronational community.
- Kingdom of Boomeria - This micronation was begun in the late 1950’s by Preston Boomer and a group of High School students. There have been several television programs featuring Boomeria over the decades including a BBC special filmed for the Queen of England’s visit to the United States in 1976 and more recently “Weird Homes of North America” did a feature on the Micronation. Here is a link to a Mental Floss article (Kingdom of Boomeria
- Herbatrean Federation
- Kingdom of Hay-on-Wye - Well-known British micronation founded in the 1970s by eccentric and bibliophile Richard Booth.
- I really don't think this is needed as a separate article; it's mentioned in the town's article and that's surely sufficient? --kingboyk 22:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Currently the Haye on Wye article barely mentions Richard Booth, when in fact his micronation antics are a very large part of the reason why the town is as famous as it is today. This is a prime example of undue weight, and of confusing 2 different entities because they happen to be located in the same place and have similar names.--Gene_poole 01:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Might help if you spelt Hay-on-Wye correctly. Bazj (talk) 15:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

- Principality of Ponderosa - Farm in Victoria whose owners built a moat around their property and ripped off Australian taxpayers. The 2 Rigoli "princes" (father and son) were successfully prosecuted and jailed in 2006.
- League of Secessionist States - I think the LoSS deserves an article, being old, and having participated in so many phases of micronationalism, since the 80's
- Federated States of Gapla - A micronation that sells souvenirs and claims a piece of land in Arizona due to a dispute with the U.S. Forest Service. Working on the article.
- I researched Gapla a bit and found out its not notable at all besides citizens, there’s no news coverage at all. Same goes for most Micronation here.
- Republic of Roscamistan it has some fame, or maybe I'm biased.
- Kingdom of Setara It borders Gapla, and it is well known in Orchard Hills
- La Boca Republic It has a pretty good article in Spanish es:República de La Boca
- Republic of Friuli in Frioul archipelago fr:Îles du Frioul#La République libre du Frioul
- Kingdom of Gold Island in Île d'Or fr:Île d'Or#Royaume autoproclamé
- Republic of Montmartre in Montmartre fr:République de Montmartre
- Federal Republic of Lostisland A micronation which claims Alexander Island and Hunter Island. In 2008, a group of Russian students led by violinist Jaroslav Mar announced the island of the territory of its micronation Federal Republic of Lostisland.[8][9] The republic calls itself a cultural and social project, has its own flag, coat of arms, anthem and issues its own collector's postage stamps. The micronation promotes direct democracy and the micro-nationalism movement. Their coat of arms contains the symbol of the eye of providence, and there are many references to Masonic terminology in the text of the constitution.[10] None of the citizens live on the island and the country is not recognized by any country in the world.
- Republic of Bosgattii created by an Italian writer in 1946 it:Repubblica di Bosgattia
- Aynvaul - In 2006 Aynvaul was founded by a group of middle-schoolers, over the years the micronation managed to outlast other micronations in the area and remains the oldest extant micronation on Long Island and New England. Aynvaul was on the list of attending micronations to MicroCon 2017 hosted by the Kingdom of Ruritania in Atlanta, Georgia[2], the micronation itself is located on Long Island, New York.[11][12] They are largely themed around the Irish-American identity and promote cultural and linguistic revivals. The micronation likely inspired The Aynvaul Community a small community group that supports the revival of the Irish language on Long Island.[13]
- Kingdom of Ruritania (micronation) - Originally stems from a school book project it is based on the fictional country of the same name. According to "Grand Duchess Lydia", the micronation is endorsed by the surviving family of Anthony Hope, the writer of Prisoner of Zenda, as a living memory of his legacy. This micronation is significant in that it is one of the major organizers to MicroCon, having hosted MicroCon 2017[14], is located at an "embassy" in Atlanta, Georgia
Recognized content
[edit]Note: Neither the FA nor the GA are exactly a micronation nor are they related to any and neither could use the {{Infobox Micronation}} appropriately. The most substantial micronation, Sealand, would rather be referred to as a microstate and belong to Wikipedia:WikiProject European Microstates, but most others agree that the gap between Sealand and, say, the Vatican City is large.
