I have been working this evening (in addition to designing a shirt for the union) on developing the online presence for the micronation I am founding. If you don't know what a micronation is, it is a country which is not officially recognized by any national or international body, and is often declared as a social experiment or some sort of political statement. There is a great deal of history behind micronations that you should research if you are interested. I am somewhat basing the charter of the one I am currently working on on that of the real-life "stateless state" of the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta. It is recognized by a majority of nations, and is entirely stateless. It only exists as an "extra-territorial" state within Italy via a 100 year lease of a building they operate out of. Their history is around 1000 years old, they have embassies all around the world, and even an advisory seat in the UN. Again, they have no sovereign territory, and the country only actually has 3 citizens who are its officers. If they are recognized as such by the international community, why can we not build something that is the same? Details later.
