It is very funny that today, even social groups like villages, campuses, clans, sects and residential communities can claim their own sovereignty and declare their group as a micronation. Other terms for micronations are model country and new country project.Did you know that micronations also have their own flags, money and passports? They even have their own medals and stamps. The sad thing about them is that their own government didn't really recognize them as a independent nation. Even their own coins are not considered valid outside their community.
For this top ten article we listed some of the strange micronations in the world. Have some time to read and check out the top 10 micronations below. Here are your list.
