Postclassical micropatriology

Postclassical micropatriology is a micropatriological movement that Ives Blackwood suggests emerged in the late 2010s as an extension of classical micropatriology, including New Secessionism, the micronational compass and Brienovic's System of Micronational Classification. Important figures in developing the separate ideas that Blackwood collectively labels "postclassical micropatriology" were Jordan Brizendine, Glastieven T, Zabëlle Skye, Ivan Brienovic and Blackwood themselves. Postclassical micropatriology focuses on defending classical simulationism as just as legitimate as classical secessionism (whereas classical micropatriology has treated secessionism as better than simulationism since around 2015) and regards the most or second-most important distinguishing feature between micronations as whether their culture is constructed or organic.

Virtue Theory of Micropatriology

Other alternative theories of macropatriology would be virtue theory of micropatriology (or virtue micropatriology) which claims to transcend common secessionism-simulationism spectrum, and classifies them as vices, instead of virtues. It implores Aristotelian golden mean in order to come to proper theory, meaning that secessionism would be viciously excessive, while simulationism viciouslly lacking, whereas the golden mean (virtue) would be between the two.

The only known proponent of this theory is Ludwig Brienović.
