Micro-Euro-Summit 2022
WHAT IS A MICRONATION?
A micronation is a small area that considers itself an independent state but is not recognized by larger, recognized states. Micronations can be found all over the world and they vary in size, population and administration. Some micronations have few residents and are intended as experiments or as expressions of individualism or creativity. Others have larger populations and are earnestly seeking recognition as an independent state. Typically, however, micronations are not recognized as full-fledged nations by larger, recognized states, and thus have no official international recognition or sovereignty.
We recommand the following videos to dive deeper into the field of micronationalism:

HOW TO START A MICRONATION?
In recent years, experienced micronationalists have compiled a number of guides on how to set up and successfully manage a micronation:
How to start your own micronation - Republic of Molossia

How to start a micronation- Grand Duchy of Flandrensis

IMPORTANT NOTE!
Many new micronationalists use the online encyclopaedia MicroWiki to increase awareness of their micronation. Duckionary did this and in hindsight it was a big mistake. MicroWiki is an opaque platform with many administrators with a big ego but little knowledge. The strange guidelines give you no control over your own article and images and critics are rigorously blocked by the wiki operators.
We therefore advise against using MicroWiki.
We therefore recommend joining the wiki ‘DoveArchives’, which was founded in 2022 and is operated by the government of the Republic of The Sohnland. The site generally offers more user rights, control over its own articles and free website set-up.
So what are you waiting for? Join DoveArchives to publish accurate information about your micronation on a free wiki.
