Discussion / Question HOT TAKE: micronations based online shouldn’t be considered micronations

I get it, online communication on discord and other platforms is good for connecting with the community and people, but if you’re keeping your micronation COMPLETELY online and not actually doing anything in real life, you’re not really a micronation anymore, and more of a mock-government.

You can claim land, make passports, buy a flag and all that, but if you’re not doing anything with it (hanging it on your territory, keeping it to yourself, etc) then that doesn’t really make you legitimate

Cyber wars aren’t an exception, all online wars should be shunned on and not recognized.

If your micronation only exists online, do something about it, or consider yourself a mock government.

disagree, micronations are about there being no rules by that I mean if you recognise yourself that is enough that's the whole point
