What inspired you to join micronationalism?
« on: May 16, 2012, 02:20:34 am »
What made you join micronationalism? I'm sure most of you will say Flatland.  8) Do you plan to stay in micronationalism for a long time? I hope all of you say yes!

For me:
1. Google
2. Yes! Yes! Yes!

I was inspired to enter the micronational world after discovering Molossia in 4th grade. I have no plans to leave.

The final inspiration was, of course, Flatland and the YouTube sector when it was alive.
But, before that, I belive I knew Sealand, my dad's micronation (well,  not entirely a micronation, it was never properly established or anything),  and my geofictional nation, Yugoslavia (I had no idea what was it back then, it's really long time ago).

I became interested in micronationalism when I read that the land that the UN was on was independent from the US and that it was called a micronation. I googled the term and found MicroWiki.
Also, I don't intend to leave micronationalism any time soon.

I first knew micronationalism when I looked online on limited-recognised nations such as a country located in Western Sahara, Kosovo and South Ossetia. I always wanted to have my own nation. Then on the categories section on Wikipedia, I found the word "Micronations" and then discovered the micronation of the Grand Duchy of Avram.

I then discovered Sealand, Freetown Christinia, Minerva and Talossa. The micronation of Talossa inspired create my own micronation that occupied a bedroom.

I then discovered the Micro-Freedom Index and the Micronational News Network, where I first discovered MicroWikia and looked information on St. Charlie. Then I discovered MicroWiki.org.uk from a link on MicroWikia.

Then on August 9th, 2011 I started my own micronation and called it Daniel-Land and I got excited about my micronation. It made my life fun on having my own nation. I created my article on MicroWikia on August 12th, 2011 and then on August 14th, 2011 I made a YouTube channel called DLBC where I first knew Emperor Karl of Utopia on August 20th, 2011, who was then the president of the Lurk Republic at the time.

Then I joined MicroWiki.org.uk
