Mativati, officially the Republic of Mativati, is an autonomous territorial entity that claims to be a sovereign state but is commonly referred to as a micronation by outsiders. Founded within the Northwestern United States, Mativati declared independence from the United States in January 2019.
It is an enclave country, consisting of one small piece of land in the Northwestern United States.
Mativati's cultural trappings and government positions reveal Caribbean, South Pacific, and African influences on the nation.
