Since its creation on 27 May 2005, the site has grown to become the largest micronation-related website on the Internet, with a total of 193,169 pages and 36,440 articles, of which 110 have achieved good article status. Before you start editing, it is recommended that you take a look at our content disclaimer, basic rules of editing, and the nation page guide.
