After all: Long live the glorious space Kingdom of Asgardia!

WHAT? YOU'VE never heard of Molossia and Freedonia? How about Liberland, Seborga or Asgardia? Well, I don't blame you if you haven't, for all of the above — and several dozen others — constitute one of the most obscure areas of modern geopolitics, the so-called ‘micronations’ (not to be confused with ‘mini-states’ such as San Marino, Liechtenstein etc). Each of them, according to Wikipedia, is "an entity that claims to be an independent nation or state but is not recognised by world governments or major international organisations".
