MICRO NATIONS by Dr. Shiva Narayan
Micronations aren't real countries by definition, yet sometimes these eccentric mini-states - which have no legitimate basis for statehood - come surprisingly close.
Ranging from personal hobbies to serious political stances, there are as many as 140 micronations around the world, including a couple in New Zealand and plenty in Australia, with more than 400 recorded in recent history.
University of Technology Sydney lecturer Harry Hobbs has co-written Micronations and the Search for Sovereignty, examining the phenomenon of people trying to secede and create their own countries.
