Territory of ELY-CHATELAINE (FTEC) A libertarian-monarchist model country project that doesn't exactly fit into the "micronation" theme, but has it's members form their own "household governments". The founder, the late Marc Eric Ely-Chaitlin (1959-2001), claimed dynastic decendency dating back to King David, and sought the establishment of a royalist government in the USA.

Probably the finest and most convincing "forgery" on the Internet. To all the world, this is the official website of a small island nation; a former territorial holding of the USA with an active history and thriving economy. In reality, the three islands (which really do exist and are USA Territories) are unpopulated. This began as an on-line role-playing game run by vexilologists (flag designers) where participants build their own countries on imaginary planets, but has branched out into wider interests, including several outright micronations that use the context of the ImagiNations worlds as "locations".

"Margaritaville" is a mythical island that is "...in the tropics somewhere between the Port of Indecision and Southwest of Disorder", popularized in the song of the same name (which takes it's title from the famous tequila cocktail). The song was written by Jimmy Buffett and performed with his musical group, the Coral Reefer (sic) Band. It remains a cult hit long after fading from the Top-10 charts. Musician, Author, Actor and Environmental Activist Jimmy Buffett has parlayed the song's popularity (along with the devoted following of his fans, known affectionately as "Parrotheads") into a chain of stores and cafes (including "Cheeseburger in Paradise"), as well as a tequila, a beer (Landshark Lager), a line of footwear (Soles of the Tropics), a "frozen concoction maker" and a web radio station (which can also be heard on satellite radio in North America: XM Channel 55 and Sirius Channel 31).

Our members range from online simulations based on science fiction, to realistic communities based on such concepts as Zoroastrianism.

"Apart from a few serious secessionist movements, most micronations are essentially nation-state simulations, with varying degrees of seriousness. Unlike role-playing games, micronations have real people who compete for fame, fortune and power, and engage in lively debate and entertainment.

An admirable effort and worthy of both a visit and support. A detailed website, complete with an assortment of links, devoted to the one and only Joshua Abraham Norton (1811-1880), the 19th century eccentric who, after losing his entire fortune (and perhaps much of his sanity) trying to corner the San Francisco market in rice, proclaimed himself "His Imperial Majesty, Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico" and was openly embraced by San Franciscans as their "monarch".
In 1973, during his probems with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), musician John Lennon, along with his wife Yoko Ono, "founded" the conceptual nation of Nutopia. According to their declaration and appeal for recognition by the United Nations (appropriately dated 1 April 1973, April Fool's Day), Nutopia had no borders or passports, was governed "cosmic" laws, and one became a citizen by being aware of Nutopia. The Nutopian flag was solid white. On John Lennon's album "Mind Games", there is a track entitled "Nutopian International Anthem". It consists of three seconds of silence.

It is a replica passport that is, in his words, "...steeped in the language of bureaucracy and the world of administration, it operates to permeate beyond the role of nationalism and uses the platform of art to liberate these confined boundaries that contemporary society imposes on us. Breaking the sense of national boundaries and pushing new frontiers."
