What is a country?A micronation is a self-declared entity that claims to be an independent sovereign state but is not recognized by any official government or major international organization. These entities are usually small, both in terms of land area and population, and are often created for a variety of reasons, including political protest, artistic expression, or as social experiments.
...But is it a real country?
he Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, signed in 1933, outlines the criteria for statehood in international law. According to the Convention, a country (or state) must meet the following four criteria:
Permanent Population: A country must have people who reside within its territory. This population does not need to be large or homogeneous, but it must be settled and consistent.
Defined Territory: A country must have clearly defined borders, though the exact extent of these borders can sometimes be disputed. The territory should be identifiable and provide a physical space where the population resides and the government operates.
Government: A country must have a functioning government that exercises control over its territory and population. This government must have the capacity to make and enforce laws and provide public services.
Capacity to Enter into Relations with Other States: A country must have the ability to engage in diplomatic and foreign relations with other countries. This implies a certain level of sovereignty and independence in its interactions with the international community.
However, are countries defined by a centralized authority, or are groups of people free to assert their own definition of themselves?
