There are hundreds of "micronations" you've never heard of

It’s a meeting of “micronations” — countries that exist almost entirely online, or are comprised of one person — called MicroCon 2015. There are approximately 400 of them out there, according to some reports.

And they have some incredible names: Who wouldn’t want to pay a visit to the “Republic of Molossia,” the “Grand Duchy of Broslavia,” or “the Provision Territories of F.A.R.T”?

So what do micronations actually look like? Depends on the theoretical nation. The Principality of Sealand, the most famous example of a micronation, located on a sea fort off the shores of the United Kingdom, invites one to become a Lord, Lady, or Baroness on its official website. 

The Republic of Molossia has an official tourist season, passport stamps, and tours given by the president himself.
