The latter aspect is pertinent in that however imaginary the micronation is, its association with a region of a small state raises questions concerning the ethics of (mis)representation. This is particularly pertinent in the case of Oecusse, which was occupied by Indonesian forces in 1975 and had its distinct identity subsumed within the Indonesian state until Timor-Leste (and Oecusse as its exclave) successfully gained independence in 2002. Discussions in the article compare the anarcho- pranksterist impulse behind the creation of the Sultanate of Occussi-Ambeno and its manifestation in visual media – primarily through the design and production of ‘artistamps’ (faux postage stamps) – to related economic and socio-political contexts.

Here are the most strange and evocative cases of a much wider practice than one can imagine: to declare the indepen- dence of a microscopic part of a territory and to proclaim oneself a king or a president, even if only in your own home. Few people know, for example, that in addition to San Marino and the Vatican, there are in Italy a country and an island that have absolute sovereignty over their territories, based on rights acquired before the unification of Italy; or that a nation has been founded in Australia to protect the rights of homosexuals, while in Africa and South America some “non-existent states” have declared independence for the sole purpose of issuing counterfeit treasury bonds. This series of documentaries wants to be an atlas of stories and characters, a geography of places halfway between reality and imagination. Places that often dissolve themselves with the disappearance of their founder. Small epics that, for better or for worse, lead to paroxysm the irreducible desire for independence and autonomy of human beings. ATLAS OF MICRONATION is articulated as a series of 8 self-conclusive episodes, each dedicated to the story of a single micronation.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (But Still So Far): Assessing Liberland’s Claim of Statehood Gabriel Rossman Abstract This Comment analyzes the statehood aspirations of Liberland, a self-proclaimed microstate nestled on a tract of disputed territory between Serbia and Croatia. Customary international law, the Montevideo Criteria, and alternative modalities of recognition are discussed as potential avenues for Liberland to gain recognition. The theoretical and practical merits of these theories are explored. Ultimately, Liberland has two potential avenues for obtaining recognition. First, Liberland could convince the international community that the land it claims is terra nullius and satisfies the Montevideo Criteria. Second, Liberland could obtain constitutive recognition by the international community. It is unlikely that Liberland will be able to obtain recognition through either of these avenues.

Köztudott, ezért bizonyítani nem kell: a Teremtő női princípiuma, az anyagi világ megteremtője – szülője, kinek földi megtestesítője a SZENTKORONA. Az égi és földi létezők között született egyezségben minden létező a teremtőjének a tulajdona. Az ember és közösségei a Föld területéből tulajdont nem, kizárólag birtokot szerezhet, a természetes vizek területére birtokjog nem igényelhető. A földek és vizek tulajdonosát a SZENTKORONA képviseli, a Magyar Királyi Koronatanács által. Minden érték, ami a földben, a föld alatt és a föld felett van, a birtokost szolgálja. A birtokosok által vitatott területek visszatérnek a SZENTKORONA tulajdonába. A Szentkorona Országai által birtokolt terület a SZENTKORONA Föld és Birtokjog Regiszterébe bejegyzésre került. A SZENTKORONA tulajdonában levő területen a közösségek és magánszemélyek a jog szerint földhasználati és birtokjogot igényelhetnek. Ezt a szerződést felbontani, megmásítani, érvényét és hatályát elvitatni sem egyénnek, sem csoportnak, sem semmilyen emberi közösségnek és evilági létezőnek nincs hatalmában.

  • Report from Practically Somewhere: Liberland, Sovereignty, and Norm Contestation
    REPORT FROM PRACTICALLY SOMEWHERE: LIBERLAND, SOVEREIGNTY, AND NORM CONTESTATION By Sam Koebrich Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexander Astrov Word Count: 16,671 Budapest, Hungary 2017 CEU eTD Collection Abstract: Liberland is a state that does not exist––or rather, it is not recognized by any other state and is occupied by Croatian police despite Croatia not claiming the territory. This project to form a new sovereign state on what would otherwise be terra nullius reignites debates of the normative and legal rule of sovereignty in its declaratory and constitutive forms. The exclusion of Liberland from international society demonstrates the operative paradigm of sovereignty as favoring norm over law. By examining why this is so, the purpose of sovereignty as a structure to reproduce power asymmetries in international society is revealed. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank my supervisor, Alexander Astrov for entertaining a thesis topic many would scoff at. I paid little attention to sovereignty or norms at the beginning of this degree, but through his course instruction, syllabus, and comments these are now concepts I care quite a bit about. I would like to thank my parents for their emotional (and sometimes financial) support in getting myself and a wheelchair onto a plane to Budapest. I would like to thank my friends in Canada for trying to push me further to the left, and my friends in the US for keeping me grounded. Lastly, I would like to thank the Liberlandians I met for accepting me into their community despite my drastically different worldview.
