The United Republic of Arlberg, under the leadership of Chancellor Perry, was an influential microntion early in the year

2006 (MMVI)[a] was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2006th year[b] of the anno Domini (AD) and Common Era (CE) designations, the 6th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 7th year of the 2000s decade.[3] 2006 was the first full year in which MicroWiki existed, at this time still located on Wikia.

Taking place entirely in the "Foundation Era", the year began during the "Refounding" (18 September 2005 – 30 April 2006) period, a time of domination by the United Republic of Arlberg, which continued from September 2005. It dissolved on 12 May 2006, by which point Prince Jeffrey II of the non-serious micronation Satirocity had risen to the sole domination of the wiki in a period eponymously dubbed "Satirocity" (30 April–November). Close friends with Fabian Maximilian Schneider, Jeffrey was made an administrator in August, thus becoming the de facto sole manager of MicroWiki. Satirocity too dissolved in November, and Jeffrey became inactive on the wiki, after which Cesidio Tallini, an active editor who ran several community projects, dominated the wiki and community for the remaining year, and would continue to do so for nearly two years, in a period eponymously titled "Tallini" (November 2006–early October 2008). MicroWiki reached 100 articles on 9 May, and by the end of the year had over 555.

MicroWiki hit the milestone of 100 articles on 9 May,[12] and reached 500 somewhere in October.[9] On 27 March, Wikicities (now Fandom) changed its name to Wikia, and accordingly MicroWiki's domain was thus moved to micronations.wikia.com.[9] A Portuguese-language version of MicroWiki was launched on 27 February 2006 at pt.micronations.wikicities.com by Pedro Aguiar, a Brazilian geofiction micronationalist, and reached 1,000 articles on 5 March.[9] Fabian Maximilian Schneider, the founder of MicroWiki who had become inactive in June 2005, made a brief return on 18 August to appoint Prince Jeffrey II of Satirocity as an administrator,[8] and thus became the de facto sole manager of MicroWiki.[9] On the same day, Schneider also wrote the well-known "Word from the Founder" about MicroWiki.[13] Furthermore, a user by the name of Bolsvandia created the infobox template:Nation, which became the most used infobox on the wiki until being replaced in 2010.[14] Other prolific editors included User:Lefairh (Charles I of Nonopartia), IndigoGenius (Cesidio Tallini) and Romgov93.[15]
