Micronation
built 226 days ago
Not a Micronation per se, the LOSS was an attempt to unite all existing Micronations into a common front against so-called reality. The LOSS was a pact between the Kingdom of Talossa, the Kingdom of Thord, and the Imperial Jahn Empire, mostly to oppose the Glib Room Empire but ... to promote "World Singular Secession," at that time the official ideology of Talossa. It proclaimed that "world peace" would arise when all people seceded from their home countries and created "a world of 10,000,000,000 nations." After January of 1981, when the Imperial Jahn Empire died and Thord went inactive, the LOSS was shelved, but it was revived in January of 1983 as a pact between Talossa and Fira. This evolved into a "Miniature Alliance and Treaty Organization" (MATO) but when Fira expired later that year, so did the LOSS/MATO. Talossa thereafter abandoned "World Singular Secession" as a goal for which to strive.

Micronation is term used in a variety of contexts by people and organisations in connection with the concept of [P]olitical sovereignty. In the most general sense, a micronation is any organised group of people which calls itself a "nation" without the benefit of mutual recognition by an established nation or international body. The first problem with that defintion... is to establish exactly what level of mutual recognition is sufficient to confer legitimacy on a nation.

This Micronation has its capital on Meads Island in the South China Sea, an island not marked in standard atlases. In 1914 Franklin M. Meads proclaimed the "Kingdom of Humanity" and named Willis Alva Bryant "King Willi." King Willi was later reported drowned in a hurricane. Since 1954, Franklin's grandson Morton has run the "Monarchical Republic of Morac-Songhrati-Meads" and claimed all territory in a 700-mile sweep of water between the Philippines and Vietnam. Its government renamed these waters the Humanity Sea and threatened to confiscate an oil rig set up by the Shell Oil Company. Any person making claims on property of the republic risks the death penalty.

Established in 1972 by a declaration of sovereignty by a group of Californians, this Micronation claims dominion over two coral reefs 17 miles apart in the South Pacific--although they disappear at high tide. Minerva (nicknamed "the Land of the Rising Atoll") is some 3,400 miles southwest of Honolulu and 915 miles northeast of Auckland, New Zealand. President Morris C. "Bud" Davis, a former project engineer with North American Rockwell, runs his domain from the living room of his suburban home in Gustine, California. Originally the plan was to attract a population of 60,000 to a fancy sea resort, called Sea City, which was to be constructed on the reefs, where residents would have "no taxation, welfare, subsidies, or any other form of economic interventionism." Since the main income was to be from the registration of international cargo ships, the Sea City project foundered for lack of funds. A ship was... purchased to carry sand out to the homeland for "a major landfill project."

A micronation founded as a bedroom kingdom by Milwaukee, Wisconsin resident Robert Ben Madison. Madison claims to have coined the term "micronation". Prior to his departure in 2005 the group split into a separate "Kingdom of Talossa"[1] and "Republic of Talossa."[2]

Lhemvrin eicrýs (literally Lembrin writing) was invented by Sander Dieleman to write Lembrin, a constructed language serving as ceremonial language for Lemuria, a micronation. Lhemvrin eicrýs was originally an adaptation of another conscript, called Lemurian vulgar, invented by Sander in 2004. Over the course of two years Lhemvrin eicrýs gradually moved away from its origin, though there are still a lot of similar characters.
