Remember, without the internet we would not have seen the explosive growth of micro-nations. We should also commemorate the inventor of phpBB and Blogspot blog :P as now anyone can whip those up and have their own YAMO or One-Man Micro-Nation in a matter of hours. :P

Okay, look, there's no hyphen. It's just micronations.

Spell check likes the hyphen...

[Aster]

He's facepalming now...majorly.

[Elliot Markham]

Who is, Aster? Long ago I decided to use micro-nations, and I'm going to continue to use micro-nations. And Erik is right about spell check. The less red I see, the happier I am.

Micro-nation, micronation, micronationry, micropatriology, who cares, all pretty much same-same.
