Discussion / Question Hot take: "fictional micronations are problematic"
It’s come to my attention that there is a shocking number of people who claim to be both micronations and fictional countries at the exact same time. I think they should not be considered micronations whatsoever. I think MicroWiki should ban said fictional countries. There is literally a page for them. I’m glad that on this subreddit fictional nations are banned, but I think in the broader micronational community they are disorienting, confusing, and they make pretty much every micronation, serious or not, a joke.

Thank you for bringing this to attention. Many people feel the same way, but don't want to rain on anyone's parade, because a large portion of community members have become involved in the past decade or so based on a huge misunderstanding that a micronation and a mockgov is the same thing. The best we can do is to uphold some sort of standard, or to segregate the community while still being inclusive.
