Micro-nations, what are the thoughts on them?

I know many people who don't know what they are... shame really they can be quite entertaining. I'm part of three .

[Alca-diddly-doo]

Mind explaining what they are?

[Beeeeeel]

Aren't they like, a website where you own and maintain your own "country"?


If so, heard of it, never used it.

Yeah, thats right. There are a whole load of them on the MCS map. They are 'online countries' run by role play of titles. So a king/princes would be admin and moderators of the board and its 'cities', and they would make decisions on how the nation worked. Flags, anthems and crests are made as citizens can help with the culture and make the nation one of a kind.
There are different levels of seriousness about them - as some stick indefinatly to rules of the MCS, and some tend to be a bit more relaxed.

Theres an example of a Micronation, as my descriptions probably couldn't depict the whole process. .
They're great communuties and can be quite fun with titles, I'm currently Princess,CoM,Duchess and Lady Protector (expanding over three different nations).

Can you attempt to achieve world domination and rule as evil overlord noble president?

Hehe, yeah . Theres a whole map of nations.. and they can have wars to compete for land. Plus, you can move up the ranks quite quickly on most if you're active with quality posts.. which I have no doubt about, in your case - I'm sure you could be within a evil well respected government if you wanted to be. Heh.

[Stinky666]

Too time consuming.. So I will pass ;D

[Zac Attack]

Ys, I have heard of them. They're quite cool acually, buy verrrry confuzzling.

[Blink]

Did you come up with this concept? Are their others? If so can you link me to a huge one? I'd like to see what it looks like.

I actually love this idea so much I want to make my own.

[Zac Attack]

If you do, tell us about it It would help tho if you joined one and found out how they work.

[Artz]

Theres a whole load of them.. I'll give you some useful links, if you do decide to make one I'd be happy with joining it (yet I don't know how much I could help, havn't had too much experience)

To get the feel for it, it might be more useful to join a few that are at different stages before you make your own. They all have different levels of seriousness and there are rules that differ between each.
