"Ab Roma's society is comprised of everyday people who are passionate and serious about the study and revival of ancient Roman culture. We aren't just a group of people who get together and role-play every once in a while, some of us dedicate our lives to this. We wish to spread our knowledge throughout to help our society grow and prosper.
"Another important aspect of Ab Roma is the concept of reviving ancient Roman philosophies, virtues, and ethics that would apply to everyday life. Virtues - which define the ideal state of being and behaviour." - from an e-mail by Quintus Caius Aurelius

ALPHISTIA (New URL)
"Alphistia is a model country. It began as a 'neighborhood nation' which I created when I was a nine-year-old boy in 1967 in a town near Cincinnati, Ohio. Various houses on a working-class street were designated as 'provinces', and local children joined up as 'citizens'. A proto-Alphistian language was created, complete with its own alphabet. This childplay continued until 1974, when the first 'real, existing' Alphistia ended. For the next 20 years or so, Alphistia has existed on paper in various incarnations. Currently, Alphistia continues its status as a 'virtual' country". - from the website
ALMAZONIA (New URL!)
"Almazonia is the first of a new generation of nations based on original political and philosophical concepts. Since the 'old political recipes' failed all over the world because they led to war, injustice and exaggerated materialism, we thought of building a nation based on totally different principles. A first approach may be disturbing to our minds used to 'politically correct' ideas, but a deeper study reveals all the richness and originality of our enterprise."
"Though our enterprise aims at achieving serious goals, you will find many graphical and pseudo-historical elements of humor on our website. Seriousness does not exclude humor and one should not forget that many 'serious looking' leaders were great deceivers to their people.
"In the hope to have in the future a real nation of ours, we invented fictitious history, population data and history just for the sake of entertaining the flame of your imagination and the will to make it real. Dreams that do not come true are flowers which never blossom." - from the website
"Alteria once listed itself as a Micronation, a small nation-state. but now it strives to become than a micronation, an identity in its own right. We are a community of like minded persons who have found common ground based around our ideals, values, and beliefs and formed a nation around those terms."
"Alteria stands for freedom, Equality and Democracy, but it also promotes living clean and green, looking after the environment we live in, in a peaceful, tranquil, free, majestic, and fun setting."- from the website

"On June 12, 1998 after much thought, Emily Sarah Lindsay Denyes started a small chain of events that would eventually lead to the creation of the Kingdom of Bannesled. The first thing she did was buy her bedroom from her parents. The room was sold for $3 Can. on June 12, 1998. She then roughly sketched out a nation. On June 24, 1998, Emily, by signing The Declarations of the People of Bannesled, successfully separated her bedroom from the Dominion of Canada, creating an independent nation: The Kingdom of Bannesled." - from the website

"Humankind has turned its back on the magical in favor of a new dream - a dream of a sterile, banal world with no mysteries or wonder. A world where all the questions have been answered and all the puzzles of the universe solved. And yet, in the quest for this Utopia, much of humankind has lost a little of themselves. They have forgotten how to dream...."

EJAH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION
The following is taken from an e-mail received from Nathan Bowen (Zya Swa Ny Ya La):
"(S)ince 1995 the Ejah International Organization (International added in 2000 when members from outside the USA joined and it seemed wrong to make it sound like they weren't really members) has used the creation of the Ejah Nation (Illustrious Royal Ejah Nation) in helping to achieve its many goals. It was started May 28, 1995 (officially) just a month a few days after the horrible destruction of the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. Twelve of us in Enid, Oklahoma gathered together to see what we could do. Using a game we used to play together we created our own nation for the purpose of finding solutions to the problems in the world today. Albert Einstein once said "the problems that exist in this world today cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Thus we created the Ejah Nation. Ejah has continued to grow and achieve popularity, mainly still in the Enid, Oklahoma area but others have taken notice. We work at creating fundraising events for charitable organizations, creating fun events for people in our hometowns to enjoy and perhaps even learn something from (such as a party with a msg about Human Rights or Enviromental Protection).
"We do have many yahoo groups, the most popular being groups.yahoo.com/group/ejahorganization in which many of members participate online to share the organization there until the website is relaunched. I'm not exactly sure if The Ejah International Organization and the Illustrious Royal Nation of Ejah have a place on a page with other micronations since they are seemingly opposite concepts brought together for the purpose of doing good for the world. And we do a lot for an organization/nation that every event is funded completely by the creators of the event. For example when a member was creating a human rights fundraiser to raise money for the Matthew Shepard Foundation she used her own money to create many of the decorations and information that was needed for the event. Another member used her own time to try to get a Gay-Straight Alliance started at her high school and yet another member used her time to organize art festivals so that fellow members with artistic talents could express and share their works with fellow members and those interested. Of course, that was the intent. I personally believe part of the success of the organization is that it doesn't require you to pay a membership fee, a due, a tax, or anything directly to the organization/nation, but instead members are allowed ot use their money or time or whatever they can for the organization/nation as they see fit and as they choose if they choose at all."
