Within micronationalism, seriousness has two principal meanings: either how earnestly dedicated a micronational entity (micronation) is to serving, or achieving, a stated purpose or goal, or, in stricter terms, how dedicated a micronation is to achieving independence or statehood; how "secessionist" it is. According to the Micronational Dictionary by Zabëlle Skye, seriousness is both "a measurement of how earnest or lighthearted a micronation is based on how realistic, credible or achievable its claims and goals are," and a measurement of how serious (earnest) "a micronation is based on how secessionist or simulationist it is, with micronations possessing more secessionist ideals regarded as more serious."
