Micronations: The Lonely Planet Guide to Home-Made Nations

£9.99

Following the usual style of any guidebook, Micronations provides all the details you’d expect to see - the facts and figures of population and currency, cultural and historic information, as well as Things to Do and See and Getting There and Away sections. The thing that marks it out from the rest, however, is that it is a guide to the planet’s home-made nations. Both informative and highly amusing it chronicles over 30 different nations operating from people’s backyards, abandoned military platforms, unclaimed land in Antarctica, or online. Not only does it provide a fascinating insight into the people that want to be their own King, but it also inspires you to go out to find the weird and wonderful so often missed out by the normal guidebook. The use of full colour to show flags, maps and stamps makes it complete. An ideal gift for those that think they have seen it all.
