Micronations of the World

The micropatrological department curates this map of micronations across the world. The map contains existing and active nations as well as defunct statehoods. 

If you want us to put your micronation on this map, please send us an e-mail.

We need a brief description of your great empire; a few words about your nation will suffice. We will also need a location (GPS coordinates) and a flag, preferably a high-resolution image. 

We appreciate your support!
