Over the years I experimented in Micronations -- not "Fantasy" countries as some will point out, but real countries whose aim is personal attachment to an ideal that is not actually realized.
The USA and Australia started out as Micronations or "declared States." USA rebelled against England once the colonists found a large chunk of land and resources with a native population whom was not immune to foreign European diseases; USA is a Micronation unrecognized by England ( To This Day ) but accepted as "real" or we couldn't print this.
My first Micronation is the Supernatural Nation of the UEIR in Egyptian Heaven (Duat). I say Supernatural because the US Government classified it top secret since the years of annexation...
My second one was not Iapana Province (part of UEIR), but the Island Nation of Akua Niihau Pharaocracy. This has a Nation-States online computer "game" simulator too. Akua Niihau claims the island of Niihau (or the Forbidden Island in Hawaii) as its symbol. Since no one is allowed to go there, no one can refute the claim (I had neighbors who really believed this and they tried to file extortion lawsuits against it and tried to actually steal the island itself. They failed.), as the island cannot support life for long it is a perfect example of a Micronation. Most Micronations claim rocks protruding from the ocean or uninhabited islands if lucky. I also belonged at one point to Nova Roma Micronation (New Rome) and the Society for Creative Anachronism (not necessarily a Micronation but a Renaissance type invention). Micronations are private government projects, or individuals who want to be unique and find ways to express creativity...
