NationStates Jolt Archive

Hi all, I was just wondering how many people on NS were involved in micronations, given that these two hobbies are pretty much all about government and politics. If you aren't into simulationist micronations, I highly suggest 'em. Here's a description and a couple good examples:

"Apart from a few serious secessionist movements, most micronations are essentially nation-state simulations, with varying degrees of seriousness. Unlike role-playing games, micronations have real people who compete for fame, fortune and power, and engage in lively debate and entertainment. Many nations incorporate popular sports and economic simulations.*
*
Altogether, they are an ideal environment for those who are interested in politics and communities to experiment with and experience different types of government, and to meet a diverse range of interesting people. It’s a whole world unto itself...*"

At this point, it's worth noting that I shall shamelessly inform you that I am trying to form a micronation based upon the Knights of Malta, kinda minus the religiosity, focusing mainly on the idea of a sovereign order of knighthood. You can find it here, if you are so inclined:

Well, that was a good laugh: http://www.23ae.com/index.asp?post=45
Discordianism is such fun; I just knew someone would have had to have made a micronation based on it..

I supported Ackworth before that went to the sh!t. But Caledonian Australis has potential.
