    • 2015, Liz Giuffre, “Micro Nation – Micro-Comedy”, in Shima, volume 9, number 2, Southern Cross University, page 24:
      As well, rather than actively asserting micronationhood after a series of (albeit relatively absurd) provocations, in Micro Nation the television series, micronational status was more a mistake than an active assertion of independence.

      Yes, self-determination is a requisite for 'micronationhood'. Many issue out their own currencies, stamps, medals, and passports.

      An interesting side note to all this is the fact that I've known … Erwin S. Strauss … for 20 years... sit around playing music with him at science fiction conventions all the time ... had many good times ... yet never NEVER knew that he had written a book that seems to be the Bible of Micronationhood....
