So you’ve visited all the countries on your to-do list: you’ve braved the chill of Antarctica, the burn of the Sahara; you’ve trekked the Everest base camp, sailed the Greek Isles, and bungee jumped in Zambia. What’s left?
Prolific guidebook publisher Lonely Planet has released its newest guide on Micronations, or wannabe countries-within-countries generally recognized only by its founders and close followers.
“Here are countries where the national anthem is the sound of a rock being dropped into water, where the currency is pegged to the value of Pilsbury’s cookie dough [Republic of Molossia]; where the citizens vote in a poodle as president and where if you’re lucky, the king will put on a pot of tea when you stop by.”
The guide includes entries on the soon-to-be popular destinations of Sealand, Hutt River, Westartica, and many, many more.
You can purchase the guidebook on Amazon, or from Lonely Planet direct.
