Mindanao sector (Arabic: Qitae Mindanaw; Cebuano: Sektor sa Mindanao; Filipino: Sektor ng Mindanao) is a term used to categorize micronations that are bounded by and located within the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. This term was first coined by the Kingdom of Arlandica in May 2023. However, micronations started emerging on the island around 2015, and there are also micronations based outside the island that have established colonies in Mindanao.

Terminology

The term "Mindanao Sector" was created in mid-2023 by the lawmakers of the Council of Arlandica. It straightforwardly refers to the sector within the Philippine micronational community that encompasses the island of Mindanao. This term shall apply to micronations whose main or integral territories are fully or partially located in Mindanao and its nearby islands.

History

It is still undetermined which micronation was the first in Mindanao. However, Vilasia, Sabah and Mindanao SSR (Sunda Raya), and Curimae are among the micronations that emerged between 2010 and 2015.

In 2018, the most prominent micronation in Mindanao was Fidelis, led by Prince-Elector Rameses Casten. It was described as a political advanced micronation. Fidelis gained recognition from foreign micronations in that year; however, the micronation subsequently transferred its administration to Manila.

Since that year, the number of micronations in Mindanao has been on the decline due to unpleasant events. This decline includes the dissolutions of Mindanao DSPR, Sunda Raya, and Fidelis.

There is currently no official term to classify micronations in Mindanao. However, in 2023, Arlandican government declared the usage of the term "Mindanao sector" to refer the existing micronations in Mindanao.

Accande Terrie Ornindo currently has one member state and one observer state from this sector, namely Vilasia and Curimae, respectively. The organization previously included Arlandica as a member state, but it eventually decided to withdraw its membership.

Notes

↑ Yellow Barrow is an integral part of Curimae, not a colony.
↑ The Democratic Socialist People's Republic of Mindanao, abbreviated as Mindanao DSPR, was a micronation situated solely in Mindanao, with a presence in North America. It maintained its activity primarily on Facebook. Mindanao DSPR should not be confused with Sunda Raya's Sabah and Mindanao SSR.
