Micronations

Amorph!03 Summit of Micronations


The publication appeared in conjunction with the first "Summit of Micronations", which was held August 29-31, 2003 in Helsinki. Kings, presidents and representatives of the most prominent "self made" countries met each other for the first time. The participants of the summit ? The Principality of Sealand, NSK-State, Kingdoms of Elgaland & Vargaland, Ladonia, Transnational Republic and State of Sabotage ? have contributed rare documents relating to their amazing endeavours. This includes a fact sheet with statistical information. Three major essays try to comprehend the phenomenon of micronations from a more theoretical point of view.

Artistic contributions are made by HR Giger (Switzerland), Menchoir Huutajat (Finland), Esto TV (Estonia), Roi Vaara (Finland), Schurkenessen (Germany), Peter Callesen (Denmark) and Taliesin Denning (UK).The appendix of the publication contains an extensive micro-national glossary.
