====== Micronations ====== Quite a popular topic to discuss on AH.com - usually in a tongue-in-cheek way - and also even a hobby to some AH.commers. Sometimes, micronations are met with derision on the site, other times with praise, and most often, their assessment is somewhere in the middle and fairly neutral. ---- ==== AH.com discussions on micronations ==== **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=31903|AH.COM - A micronation ?]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=52280|Your favourite micronation !]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=82913|Viable micronation - is it possible ?]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=207916|A Billionaire's Waterworld Takes Libertarianism to New Depths]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=209817|Italian town of Filettino declares independence]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=257593|'Prince Roy of Sealand' Roy Bates Dead at 91]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=278780|Occupation Of Sealand]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=281841|Yahoo visits Republic of Molossia]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=307147|Ladonia: An Illegally Created Nation Where Creativity Rules]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=320756|Virginia man travels to Bir Tawil, founds kingdom]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=343636|10 Bizarre Tales From Self-Proclaimed States]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=351134|New Micronation founded between Croatia and Serbia]]** ---- ==== Discussions on micronations of AH.commers ==== **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=11797|Micronation ideas]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=23603|Which flag ?]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=36547|Kingdom of Pennlund]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=78455|Opinions about Pennylvnd (NOT A PISSING MATCH etc. etc.)]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=125582|Website designers for my micronation ?]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=81886|Micronation]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=148537|A constitution]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=154680|The Consulate of Innucinsar]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=200772|I've founded a Micronation]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=142180|The Greater Kingdom of Oskania]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=142417|Official Oskania Thread]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=132815|Beerhaven.

MQ-9, mostly. The bigger penguins have .22LR ultravelocity recoilless rifles strapped to them. The extra fast custom .22LR has extra punching power compared to normal .22LR. Much better than normal .22LR. The guns are open ended while firing, they are electrically fired. You don't want to be hit by it. The guards have AK-74s and PKMs. I've considered a few 20mm and 40mm guns on old BMPs. Maybe some 76mm. 105mm guns will arouse suspicion, and tanks would probably get us invaded.".\\ __Trivia:__ In a state of cold war with Amervea. Has claims on "all unnoccupied territory on Antarctica, and a Helium 3-rich stretch of land on the Moon". On the topic of the economy, GA notes that "Yes, I get alot of money from our oil and mineral exports. Also, we extract industrial-use chemicals from penguin waste, which there is plenty of.".\\ **[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/beerhaven-flag4-png.100296/|Beerhaven]]**\\ __Full name:__ Republic of Beerhaven\\ __Founder:__ [[offtopic:The Professor]]\\ __Location:__ currently leasing territory in London, UK\\ __Government:__ (currently) Semi-Presidential Democracy\\ __Founding documents:__ [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-2693194|Draft Articles of Beerhaven]]\\ __Language:__ English\\ __Religion:__ majority [[offtopic:ah.com_religions#alcohol-centric_religions|Beerist]] (Aler, Lagerite) but significant minority of Winers\\ __Coat of arms:__ [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/79770/|(designed by False Dmitri)]]\\ __National pastime:__ drinking\\ __National sport:__ drinking\\ __National motto:__ \\ __Trivia:__ Referenced briefly in //**[[stories:AH.com Enterprise]]**//, as the in-universe fiefdom of Prof's fictional counterpart in the series.\\ __Website:__ [[https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beerhaven/182383734170?ref=ts|Beerhaven]]\\ **[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/charlflag-png.87394/|Dictatorship of Charl]]**\\ __Full name:__ Dictatorship of Charl\\ __Founder:__ [[offtopic:charl]]\\ __Founding date:__ [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-4053443|18 January 2011]]\\ __Trivia:__ [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-3085713|Has an alliance]] with the Kingdom of Domtopia.\\ **Domtopia** \\ __Full Name:__ The Vast, Great and Beloved Kingdom of Domtopia\\ __Founder:__ [[offtopic:thedarkservant|TheDarkMessiah]]\\ __Founding date:__ 31 January 2010\\ __Population:__ 2 (50% Male, 50% Female, 2010)\\ __Language:__ English\\ __Religion:__ [[Domism]]\\ __Trivia:__ [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-3085713|Has an alliance]] with the Dictatorship of Charl.\\ **Grand Fenwick**\\ __Full name:__ Duchy of Grand Fenwick\\ __Founder:__ [[offtopic:Corditeman]]\\ **[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/101089/|Innuncinsar]]**\\ __Full name:__ The Consulate of Innucinsar (ih-noo-KIN-sar)\\ __Adjectival form and demonym:__ Innucinsari\\ __Founder:__ [[offtopic:Krall]]\\ __Current head of government:__ Consul James Alexander Fitzmaurice\\ __Motto:__ "There is not life without liberty."\\ __Fundamental state philosophy:__ See [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=154680|here]].\\ **[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/sfld-copy-jpg.87392/|Minarchitopia]]**\\ __Full name:__ Empire of Minarchitopia\\ __Founder:__ [[offtopic:TheSevenLeggedFallyDowner]]\\ __Founding date:__ 28 November 2009\\ __Founding documents:__ See //[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-2942561|A Declaration by the Sole Representative of the Empire of Minarchitopia]]//.\\ __Current head of government:__ His Most Excellent Majesty Daniel the First, By the Grace of God, Emperor of Minarchitopia, King of Degland, Duke of Gravel Park, Supreme Primate of the Church of Minarchitopia\\ __Trivia:__ "The similar design to the US flag represents the close ties that we have historically had with the US.
