The article analyzes micro nations as a new idea of establishing one’s own country. Even if micro nations are small and irrelevant, they are an interesting example of how people want to create their own environment. Some projects were established as a joke or for financial profit; others have the ambition of becoming an internationally recognized country. The article presents the story of three different micro nations; Liberland, Imperial Throne, and the Free City of Christiania. All of them represent different approaches for self-governance and ideology (libertarianism, monarchism and anarchism). The article also considers definitions of micro nations and tries to match them with existing definitions of political units.
