Micronation
« Cool Cellular Animations | Main | Nice Hint for Viewing Wordperfect Files on the Mac »Walter introduced me to a term developed in the Mid - 90's: Micronation. According to the Wikipedia:
Micronations – sometimes also referred to as cybernations, fantasy countries, model countries, and new country projects – are entities that resemble independent nations or states, but which are unrecognized by them, and for the most part exist only on paper, on the Internet, or in the minds of their creators.
Very interesting idea. Walter is going to create a new nation around the concept of rehearsing disaster exercises. You can certainly imagine that the geography of a nation, the politics and economy all work together to contribute to a nation's state of emergency preparedness, or lack thereof. So, keep an eye out on Perilo.net as Walter builds his new cyber community.
