Thank you!

That's gonna be my own life I'm taking the island of ailsa Craig it will be called Alasalan and might be The Federation of Alasalan

16:22 "the congress are my stuffed animals because they're always there." This kid knows how to pick more qualified politicians than the average voter!
lol true
That's cute
This is honestly kind of wholesome. Mostly harmless, pretty interesting, fun, and it doesn't seem harmfully crazy - just a bit eccentric.
Yeah thought I would be cringe
I even run my own country.
Imagine if the UN just start recognising one of them as a real nation
Someday... Just someday

@@tsgames6083 WHAT
That kid was so funny. "The international community also known as my parents" XD
The kid was Benjamin Pickles
But still its amazing that he started a country on his own bedroom
"I think I can do it better than the country I live in" you probably will kid you probably will
@@jasonwonderstruck5167 i mean like, hes litteraly the president
At that age
He’s Self aware yet humorous :D
16:34 this kid is a legend. Wise beyond his years. His humor... woah.
Is that....sarcasm I hear? It was funny but not beyond his years.
bodki malone His comedic timing and his self awareness are genuinely beyond the typical humor field of a child his age. It’s not sarcasm at all. And what I said is absolutely true. Most children his age aren’t as impeccable on their own with such comedic timing and jokes. The kid has a lot going for him.
@@bodkimalone the jokes are beyond his years. Word choices, understanding the hierchy of the international community, and awareness of himself and the situation
He is so young, but he is Dictator with marionette government already.
As my political science teacher put it: "Anybody can create their own country, but as soon as they stop paying taxes they're going to have problems."
The Antarctic Treaty only prevents you from claiming Antarctica if you sign the treaty...
Yep
The treaty also defies any claim to defy another's claim
At one point kazakhstan had a claim on antarctica because it was the last member to leave the soviet union
no -technoblade
Oh yeah, it’s all coming together.
It doesn't surprise me that the guy who founded Micronations was a Brit
It’s reverse colonialism!
He wanted to colonize something
Colonialism is in his blood
We need some thing to control
In all fairness, the British courts inadvertently recognized the sovereignty of Sealand in their ruling, so that’s on Britain’s head
This is SO cute. I love seeing adults like this retaining their imagination and creativity. It seems super wholesome and fun.
Even though they're not legal countries it's still pretty cool
Adults.... Benjastan has declared war on you
This is taking imagination to a whole new level.
..and THAT'S the ONLY thing that can save US.
Alexander the Miniscule hasn't been born yet but shit gets real when he hits the scene.
Expected this to be way cringier an crazy, but it was surprisingly wholesome and fun in an innocent way.
It's still pretty cringe
@@AgeofGuns you gotta live a little
That's because the youtuber intended it to be more wholesome instead of some douche being condescending and asking stupid stuff
Why does it have to be cringey?? Isn't that how every country was started ??
@Nigel Lush cringe is just your opinion guy
I turned my bedroom into a country. My parents are a threat when it’s 7am and tell me to goto school and invade my country by opening the door!
Same here
Sounds like a neighbouring aggresion to me!
Attack them durring the night when they are the weakest.

It would be fun if they fought their wars by getting their group of friends (aka the army) and playing a airsoft match against the other nation

That is actually a common form of micronational warfare

The dude is a god
Why would a micronation even need a transit system? For God's sake, every two points within a micronation would be within walking distance from each other.

This seems like a very productive way of doing roleplaying. Meeting new friends/allies, learning each others culture and stuff and helping people in need, awesome.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing
and very healthy tbh, you can learn about so much stuff doing these kinds of things
I was in foreign exchange club in HS.
This looks like a boss version of that.
I'm SO about trying to do this. ☺
It is not roleplaying.
@@themuskratianempire Kind of is.
Honestly thats so fun good for them enjoying a unique hobby there's something super cute about it. They know how to have a good time genuine to themselves
But would you date one of them ?
I know. It's so cute.
These people are out there living their absolute best lives, and I respect the hell outta that. They look like they’re having a great time :D
At first I thought this would be a nutjob convention, but actually these people have some clever loopholes
Their nut jobs with disposable income
Still nutty
It may look silly but it really is reflective of our society that the only difference between micronations and "real" nations is the number of people it influences. I could almost say that being a citizen of someplace doesnt make you better than anyone when at the end of the day we're just all human beings.
@@kainakuneho9979 The citizens of developed countries are, taken as a whole, objectively better than the citizens of "bad" countries. I say "bad" for brevity so I don't have to go into all the various things that make one place a better place to live than another. The reason is because if you take just about any country in Africa for instance and swap them with the citizens of say, Switzerland or any better country for that matter, then Switzerland would devolve into a crap hole while the African country would improve. While geography and resources play a part, it is the people inhabiting a place that makes it a good country or a bad one. The proof is all the countries that have ideal geography, weather and resources that are terrible solely because its inhabitants are intrinsically worse in many ways. Also countries, such as America and most European countries as well, that are devolving at the a rate equal to the rate of the people that they take in refugees and immigrants who are leaving the countries that they and their fellow citizens have failed to improve. This is because like, I said, if you swap the people of one country for another one Wil improve and the other will devolve.
@@dickJohnsonpeter True, i was reminded by a saying unfortunately i can't remember the original speaker but on a class one teacher said that a Japanese minister said to Indonesia government as a whole. If Indonesia give Sumatra (one of the main island) to the Japanese, it will turn into Japan. And if Japan gave it's archipelago to Indonesia, it will be a third world country
At least they are having fun and not harming anyone
It could be dangerous, though, if their allegiance is not with the United States and they try to lead and insurrection.
@@blakemcnamara9105 yeah but unlikely. They seem pretty chill
Do they look like they will lead an insurrection?

“Nobody has more authority than anyone else, oh and only women can serve in government”
Hmmmm
@FanManTiger lol that's not" true face of feminism"
They also deny rights to unborn women.
I like the girls who carry their land in a briefcase. That's really innovative. That way, they can take their micronation wherever they want.
A real life walking city 👀
What was the name of their micronation again?
@@connorallgood0922 i think something like "obsidia (-na)"?
It was just a statement....an igualitarian country.....for woman. Its a femaleisms country.
Cool idea, but they heavily preach dumb shit like feminism and such. If only they were smarter
My own nation is kunasho, unfortunately every minute or so we get rebels from a group called my parents invading the capital
You need to build an millitary to stop them then:))

Benjamin T Pickles…. Truly, the greatest Hero this world has ever known!!
They look so happy. I might start a nation of my own
Same.
Looking how most are run these days , it seems totally reasonable
Molossia (obviously after the great Sealand) is the biggest one of them.
For Skyrim
I already am. I draw comics and everyone and everything in it is mine 🤣 basically I have a whole dimension and not just a nation
I love micronations. It’s always a very interesting slice of humanity whenever I see them in videos.

I started a Micronation, but after I found 2 quarts of oil in my garage the CIA had me overthrown and installed a puppet government
"egalitarian so no one has more power than someone else...oh and only women can be in the government".....right.... totally equal.....Indeed.

Everything else aside, the audio from the convention is the best sounding convention audio I've heard
I can't stop myself from being aggravated by the fact that one of the flags there is just the Estonian flag upside down. It hurts to look at for a patriot.
The molossian flag is just the Sierra Leone flag upside-down.
Even though I dont understand what history and laws they are talking about, I am impressed by their seriousness and their activities of making their own rules and helping peoples in their own way🤗
@COW GOD BRAHMAN 💩 yea
Weird yes. But I appreciate that their imagination never diminished in adulthood
At some point, I was waiting for a guy named Dom or Dominic call himself a king. So like... King Dom 😗

Straight up Awkward. What cracked me more was the guy who was standing standing next to him with hand on his chest

@@Cycoldia why did you wear foreign military and service medals ?. Shouldn't you design your own medals, or not even wear ones not earned.
@@perth.railfan1522 This is not the way to address your king pesant!

U feel more powerful and confident as a persen. It's hard to imagine the
Large amount of courage it must take to decide your'e going to start a

I used to create micronations in a daily basis when I was a kid. I loved creating the history of said micronations with specific years as being highly important in their history.

So it IS possible to build a giant raft relying on drift wood alone. A guy made a 9 stores tall and 75 tons driftwood castle with this stuff!
Well, that castle isn't perpetually subject to wear and tear from exposure to the waves of ocean.
@@TheChickenRiceBowl
...so it IS possible to build a mid-sized raft and keep repairing it with drift wood alone
Yes. But if you keep repairing the raft with newer driftwood, will it still be the same raft when you have replaced all the wood?
@@alarcon99
Duuuude... the ratf was already written down on the books of time to exist or we just did it on a whim? If built things retain the builder's soul them the raft lives? Did the raft build itself by planting it's conception on us? Do we have free choice? Are you hungry too?...
...so it IS possible to mind the meaning of life while building rafts on drift wood alone
19:00 "We have egalitarian structure in our government" "only women can be in government"
Hold up. Something doesn't check out
Bold to assume there isn't a women's egalitarian structure, men do not need to be included into everything you know? That option exists.
@@cutecatsara123 Well I've never heard of any women's egalitarian structures, could you provide some examples?
@@Valtk8910 The Amazon's.
@@cutecatsara123 Could you elaborate?
@@Valtk8910 Egalitarian structure implies equality between the people. However, there is no specific differentiation implied. In this case of gender, where there's an all women's egalitarian culture means women of color, handicapped women, elderly women and transwomen being rounded as equal.
Never heard the tale of Sealand until now and enjoyed it thanks for including that in and editing in the old footage from the 60s.
so basically these are country leader cosplayers?
Basically
More like LARP than Cosplay.
No, we have actual claims and we have declarations of independence
@@Cycoldia but do you still pay taxes to the "previous" governing power? For some of these micronations, there isn't even a land attached to it. And if the previous governing power doesn't acknowledge your claims, doesn't that mean they retain the right to apply their own laws on your "nation"? Sure, that could be said of other larger nations, like how China treats Thailand, for instance, but there are other established nations that acknowledge Thailand's nationhood, even if they allow China's influence.
It seems to me a declaration of independence is not enough to be considered a nation, no?
Chad Wilson our laws have no conflicts with US law, and we pay foreign aide instead of taxes.
Tried declaring my caravan as my own independent nation, and tried fining the police for towing it... they still haven't payed up yet.

I used to be really into a web game called NationStates where you're the leader of your own nation, it's all artificial, so there's no AI or anything, it's just you writing down pages of laws and landmarks and history and culture and so on, and every day I believe you get a total of 5 "issues" you can choose to respond to or dismiss, but the real gameplay is in the interaction with other nations in your region. All that to say these micro nation leaders remind me a lot of those days, except it's real life. I think many would find it cringy, but I love it when people gather to roleplay like this. It brings meaning to their lives and it looks like they're all having fun, so who cares?
Where do i sign up?
Monaco is less then 1 square mile so I'm going to buy 1 square mile of land and make a micro nation then declare independence after 22 years. I've got a few names to.
Im gonna buy all houses in the neighborhood and claim my land my micronation name is neichentan republic

@@lowz1369 Yeah, I had 6 come in in the months of August and September
I mean this is how society has functioned and evolved since its beginning. The only reason why people see this as not normal or even "crazy" is because these people are branching off from whatever "super power" they were under. In 100 years one of these new nations could be a legitimate force in the world. Nations rise and fall a dime a dozen throughout history.
Imagine if that one micronation of that kid got control over a entire continent in the future, millions of soldiers under his control, invading what is left of the earth to have it all for himself.
