You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

You have been sentenced to life in a micronation of your choosing (Sealand, Molossia, etc.) The micronation must have actual land and you may never leave that land. What micronation do you choose?

Edit: clarification of the rules. A micronation is by definition not recognized internationally. As a result, small sovereign states like the Vatican are not allowed.

Also you can’t just make your own micronation wherever you want. It has to already exist.

Valmond,

Christiania of course!

wolfpack86,

It’s struggling at the moment

Valmond,

Isn’t it just pusher street that’s closed?

wolfpack86,

Correct, but not effectively. It’s under a bit of struggle to maintain its footing and principles. They reached the point of asking the police for help, as an example.

Valmond,

Ugh. Heard they were forced to take external companies for taking care of their buildings, skyrocketing rents etc.

blahsay,

Luxembourg is awesome. Easy pick

hungryphrog,

That’s not a micronation.

nodsocket,

Luxembourg is not a micronation

I was awarded the Royal Decoration of Saint Michael the Archangel from the Principality of Kaharagia, so that would be my first choice, since I’m a Lady. Last I knew they were still looking for land, though, so that may be out.

Second choice is Monaco.

e: didn’t realise Monaco is officially recognised.

In that case, The Republic of Saugeais.

aidan,

I was awarded the Royal Decoration of Saint Michael the Archangel

Did you pay for it? 💀

LillyPip,

Oh god no, lol. They don’t allow that. (4th link)

I’d never heard of them before they notified me I was getting the award. I don’t know who nominated me, either. ¯**(ツ)**//¯

aidan,

Huh, interesting. What was their reason?

LillyPip,

How can I purchase a Kaharagian title or knighthood?

The acquisition of a Kaharagian title or knighthood through purchase is not possible. Our principality upholds the principles outlined in Royal Decree No. 5/2010, which explicitly prohibits the sale of titles and honours. This decree, enacted by the Prince as one of the foundational tenets of our principality, ensures the integrity of our system. It is crucial to note that engaging in such transactions is not only forbidden but also reprehensible, as it serves as a deceptive means for scammers to exploit individuals seeking titles. In Kaharagia, titles and honours are bestowed solely based on demonstrated service, dedication, and meritorious contributions, reinforcing the core values that underpin our principality.

LillyPip,

Ghyste,

NeoNachtwaechter,

Monaco, no brainer.

Never seen so many bucks per square meter.

Tangent5280,

You’ll starve to death sorrounded by cheap food that cost a thousand euros to look at.

Toes,

Are there any in the EU with a nice beach?

NeoNachtwaechter,

Yes, Monaco :-)

kerrypacker,

Do you like inbreeding and sexual abuse?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Not really, but it wouldn’t be inbreeding if I’m an immigrant there (by definition). I take the second thing with a grain of history; before the UK decimated the place by issuing a war draft and taking everyone to go fight in WWII, it had as many people as a regular small American town, and what followed was a chain of sensationalism.

peto,

Are there any good ones? Am I allowed to launch a coup?

nodsocket,

You can launch a coup.

SgtAStrawberry,

Well Jämtland is Jämtland, but there is nothing wrong with that one. Really nice place, the biggest town is lovely, if you don’t like the city ther is plenty of smaller towns, villages and cabins in the woods. They even have there own famous lake monster.

I would recommend against the coup, but if you gave your mind set you can probably find some new friends there to help you.

Does the vatican count? I'd get into the archives and make it my lifes work to find all the secrets.

Plus it's pretty cool there, there's people who do spend their lives there, and always visitors from round the world to hang out with.

nodsocket,

Vatican is an internationally recognized city state and does not count.

TheWeirdestCunt,

Technically so is sealand though, the UK and Germany both had to recognise it at different points

nodsocket,

Not currently recognized though, so it still counts

cheese_greater,

Can I afford it if I choose some place like Monaco?

nodsocket,

No guarantees on money but you can’t leave. Also Monaco doesn’t count because it’s a city state and is internationally recognized.

cheese_greater,

K fine, SeaLand but it better have internet and proper food. Also I’m bringing my pets and Imma need AmazonPrime and all the credit I can eat

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

liberland

aidan,

Lichtenstein or Andorra

Jumi,

Does the Vatican count?

TheDeepState,

The Grand Duchy of Pikeland!
