Notable Articles

Microworld War

An example of image on UnMicroWiki, specifically on the Aldrich Lucas article to represent him.

Microworld War was probably the most famous article on UnMicroWiki, and for good reason, having two different topics devoted to it posted on the MicroWiki forum. It followed a seemingly sectional conflict between English (the "Northern Alliance") and Oceanian (Southern Alliance) micronations. It began when the USLSSR attempted to capture Aldrich Lucas by sending their foreign legion into Yabloko. Nations like Senya and A1 entered the conflict with nuclear weapons, and eventually the entire world is put into jeopardy multiple times before finally being destroyed by the Southern Alliance in celebration, though they did not know the consequences of celebrating in the way they did.

Ultamiya

Ultamiya was the longest page and the page with the most revisions on UnMicroWiki, even when being the second youngest. Saint Katherine, the fictional patron saint of the Ultamian Republic, was the narrator. The reader was supposed to feel like they have just woken up in Heaven, coincidentally inside the "Divine Holy Empire" which Ultamiya has become. She described in much detail the people, military, and places inside the claimed territory of the Empire. She mentioned President David many times, now the Emperor due to being killed by Richland forces just hours before the Southern Alliance causes the Apocalypse. According to Katherine, micronational warfare in Heaven was conducted "18th century-style" and that the ending to the Microworld War was different than that article actually portrays.

Alexander Boobhardt

Alexander Boobhardt, formerly Alexander Reinhardt, was the seventh oldest page on the wiki satirizing the St. Charlian politician of the same name. It emphasized his power as admin as well as his use of the word "Ach" and his love of medals. It was also the only place on the MicroWiki community that contained the original Supreme Dictator picture.
