Open tasks
Republic of Molossia - Needs to be re-written to conform with numerous WP policies.
New Utopia - Article needs to be re-written, as content and tone of recently-added material was found to be inaccurate and legally contentious. There is ongoing discussion on the article talk page concerning this.
Kingdom of Hay-on-Wye - Well-known British micronation founded in the 1970's by eccentric and bibliophile Richard Booth.
I really don't think this is needed as a seperate article; it's mentioned in the town's article and that's surely sufficient? --kingboyk22:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Currently the Haye on Wye article barely mentions Richard Booth, when in fact his micronation antics are a very large part of the reason why the town is as famous as it is today. This is a prime example of undue weight, and of confusing 2 different entities because they happen to be located in the same place and have similar names.--Gene_poole01:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Principality of Ponderosa - Farm in Victoria whose owners built a moat around their property and ripped off Australian taxpayers. The 2 Rigoli "princes" (father and son) were successfully prosecuted and jailed in 2006.
Note: Neither the FA nor the GA are exactly a micronation nor are they related to any and neither could use the {{Infobox Micronation}} appropriately. The most substantial micronation, Sealand, would rather be referred to as a microstate and belong to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject European Microstates, but most others agree that the gap between Sealand and, say, the Vatican City is large.
