From a recent email in Italian written by me:
"Insomma, esiste il nero assoluto, la micronazione fondata e gestita da ragazzini, e senza la minima intelligenza originale. Infatti queste micronazioni sono come pupazzi degli stati sovrani, che mimicano senza neppure rendersi conto di non essere originali o unici per niente. C'è pure il bianco assoluto, lo stato sovrano che magari è pure membro permanente del Consiglio di Sicurezza dell'ONU. E ci sono pure varie tonalità di grigio fra il bianco ed il nero assoluto."
Translation:
"In short, there is absolute black, the micronation founded and run by kids, and without any original intelligence. In fact, these micronations are like puppets of sovereign states, which they mimic without even realising they are not original or unique at all. There is also absolute white, the sovereign state which perhaps is also a permanent member of UN Security Council. And there are also various shades of gray between absolute black and white."
Question to anyone here: what do you think is the higher level shade of gray, micronationally-speaking?
I've found something of a higher paradigm almost by accident, and it seems to be composed of these kinds of micronations:

I've found something of a higher paradigm almost by accident, and it seems to be composed of these kinds of micronations:
- Micronations that have legal caliber (they have actual legally-valid princes);
- Micronations that are recognised by international organisations (IGOs);
- Micronations that run their own Internets independent of the ICANN;
- De facto microstates (that actually control their jurisdiction, but may not enjoy any other privilege or right).
