Any entity which has the appearance of being a sovereign state but isn't.
Micronations are usually created and maintained by one person or family. Many exist solely on the internet, or in the imagination of their creators.

Get the micronesian mug.Pacific Islanders from the Micronesian region (FSM, Palau, Marshall Islands, Marianas) who are hardworking, generous, helpful and will willingly agree to assist their fellow micronesian, even when it comes to fighting, BUT will only resort to violence if they feel threatened or discriminated against. Although Micronesians work hard, they also enjoy living a laid back, "go with the flow" kind of lifestyle. Because of that, it might be the reason why Micronesians are also one of the most misunderstood race, especially the Micronesians residing in Hawaii and in Guam, where they are sometimes labelled as "gangster wannabes" , "beggars", or "thieves".
