Starting your own country

Regarding this column:

I’ve recently learned that in 2021, two Australian legal academics, Harry Hobbs and George Williams, published the first scholarly work on micronations, Micronations and the Search for Sovereignty. You can obtain your own copy for only US$138.

If that’s a little too rich for your blood, they’ve also written a book for general audiences, How to Rule Your Own Country, more reasonably priced at only US$15 for the Kindle edition. I’m reading it now, and enjoying it quite a bit.

In the course of composing this post, I learned that there is a wiki specifically for micronations, MicroWiki.
