First look at the definition of a micronation and tell me if it is relyable or not.

It irks me on this page, and in other writings about micronations, when people do not distinguish between:
I realize there's some overlap and gradation between these categories. But my sense is that "micronation" is best confined to #1 and #2.
Basically, I would delete Champa and Khmer Krom from this page. And perhaps also New Afrika, Rep. of Lakotah, and Murrawarri Republic, and point the reader to Ethnic Flag://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_flag and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_active_separatist_movements — Preceding unsigned comment added by Traversetravis (talk • contribs) 07:29, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
I would also delete the Republic of Lakotah and Neutral Moresnet as the latter was a small condominium on the dutch-belgian-prussian border thus not a micronation and the former is more of an independance movement than a micronationCvkoning (talk) 11:20, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

What’s the reason Kekistan is nit considered a worthy micronation deserving of a flag spot here? It is more famous than any micronation listed here, other than Nutopia. DErnestWachter (talk) 01:41, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
I am not arguing. Just trying to understand. Nutopia has no land but is a micronation. You do not need any space to be a micronation as evidenced by Nutopia. But Kekistan claims these areas:
The Temple of Jonesia on the Danube river, Central Europe / The three Kekistani provinces on the Danube / The Kekistani North African Territory / The Kekistani Antarctic Territory DErnestWachter (talk) 02:58, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Acroterion who seems to be a Wiki admin told me that a conceptual country does not meet the requirements of being a micronation. But Nutopia is listed as being a conceptual country on the Wiki page devoted to it. And Nutopia makes NO territory claims. To be fair, it should be removed or an explaination given as to why it is being treated differently. Does anyone know why Nutopia is being given special status as a micronation w/o meeting the definition of one? Thank you. DErnestWachter (talk) 03:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Are all micronations necessarily ephemeral? Some, like Molossia (surrounded entirely by, and in practice under the sovereign control of, Nevada in the USA), are relatively long lasting, although I accept that micronations do tend to fail a lot faster than more legitimate sovereignties.
