Quantitative Classification (Boodlesmythe)

- A “Brick & Mortar” micronation might have an online presence, but would continue to exist if the server hosting their space ceased to exist.
- “Tiny” versus “Small” versus “Sizeable”:
- A “Tiny” micronation would have from 1–10 members/citizens.
- A “Small” micronation would have from 11–50 members/citizens.
- A “Sizeable” micronation would have 51 or more members/citizens.
- “Community” versus “Statehood”:
- A “Community” micronation exists as a group of people with a shared set of goals or aims.
- A “Statehood” micronation seeks to form a functional government and acquire sovereign territory.
Qualitative Classification (Tallini)
- Under the best of circumstances, a flaky micronation.
- Under the worst, a total joke.
- Under the best of circumstances, a serious micronation with potential, but it will need an attractive culture to flourish.
- Under the worst, a sizeable community, more than a nation.
- Under the best of circumstances, serious competition for Sealand.
- Under the worst, a small community with great potential if it develops an attractive culture, and a committed few.
