Micronation? Doesn't make sense.

Micronations have been around for a long time. Some of them are highly recognized, Sealand and Molossia. Anywho, I'm quite surprised some people didn't know what they were. They've been around for, I dunno, a very long time that spans over decades. Some of them have had good and interesting histories whilst some have came to their demise (Minerva, for example.). But inside the serious league, there are some serious micronation militias, laws, currencies, languages, and... Sports.

This is certainly interesting. Haven't heard of a ton of micros with cryptocurrency as their main. I do doubt the seriousness of this highly - most likely one of the ones created for 'funsies' in someone's backyard. But who knows.

No we are legitimate. While we do quite a bit of joking with one another and aren't very serious in our demeanor online all the time, we are a serious group attempting to become an independent micronation.

Will you be sending a request for federal statehood to the imperial government?

No, sea steadng is a much better, and achievable route than asking the United States Government if they could "Prtty plz giv us sum land?!?"

Now with that said sea steading can be both costly, and dangerous if you don't have a solid plan. We are on the track to a solid plan however we do hit a speed bump here and there. That is why currently we are refining our plan. We feel if we implement enough programs and procedures then organize ourselves enough that when we head out to sea, we will find the transition much smoother.

Great Empire of Earth spans 240 × 10¹⁵ km³ and, thus, those oceans.

No and if the upload date for that video is correct our nation was around for about a year before that was made.

Nope, it's from 2005. But it's a really fun show!

Hm, been seeing some micronations pop up here and there. Do you intend to expand your land area (aka take over parts of the USA around you)?

No we would much rather do something similar to what sealand did. We all respect the united states and its people.

Well sounds cool! Let me know when you do it. I'm going to join your nation, then secede in one of your staterooms as my own independent micro-nation.

Free oceanfront property!

Ha sounds good man! Only problem with that is what will you do when our army of four knocks on the door? Wink

I don't think your military would do anything for the main reason they wouldn't recognize me as a sovereign entity. If anything I would be seen as a non-violent protester.

Wink

(But seriously, good luck with your plan. It is certainly achievable and I would be jealous.)

Thank you! Of course when we make the move to become independent we will let you guys know about it!

and I just want to make it clear, that the US government wouldn't do anything for the main reason they wouldn't recognize us as a sovereign entity. If anything we would be seen as non-violent protesters.

You wouldn't be a sovereign entity. Any representative of the US could enter your micro-nation at any time, without needing a passport. Try and stop them, and you would be invaded instantly.

Staying in international waters would be your best bet. But then you really do need a navy to protect yourself from pirates.

Thats true, and its a problem we have been attempting to plan for. Considering we would be in international waters and several of the people on board with this project have military experience (I myself was a tanker in the US Army) we may be able to defend ourselves against such attacks. However when it comes to our safety "may be able to defend ourselves" isn't sufficient enough for us to put our plan into motion.

Becoming an independent entity isn't impossible however, the people from Sealand did it, and so did freetown christiania.

LOL. Go tell the US government you are taking their land as your own. Wink

Thats not really a good way to do it. The best way is to go live in a "grey" area, like Sealand, they live on an old rig in the middle of the ocean in international waters. We have tossed around several ideas, from doing something like getting our own rig, or buying a large sail boat and using that as Navismaris.

Also I'm not putting you down but anytime I mention a micronation someone always says "Go tell the US government you are taking their land " and I just want to make it clear, that the US government wouldn't do anything for the main reason they wouldn't recognize us as a sovereign entity. If anything we would be seen as non-violent protesters.
