Both Kedah & Kelantan have been issuing coins since AH1427 (2006) in Kelantan & 2008 in Kedah.
I've been informed that Abkhazia issued its first medal-coins in late 2008.
Aidan.

Hi Aidan.
Welcome to LOM.
By Kedah and Kelantan do you mean there are official coins issued by the Malaysian states? ...or is someone producing unauthorised pieces using those names?
Who issued the Abkhazia piece/s?

George, can you add a column (or columns) to the "List of Micronations" stating if they issues currency, coins or stamps?

It's on my "to do" list.
At the moment I'm preparing to split the list into "virtual micronations" and "non-virtual micronations" sections, so it's a bit less unweildly.
Once that's done I'll start expanding the range of content on the "non-virtual" list.
This is all getting rather complicated for something that started out so simple!

I'm pleased to announce the completion of a major reorganisation of the List of Micronations.
The list has been significantly expanded, and split into "physical"and "virtual" sections.

A minor update regarding the Republic of Talossa's entry: The Republic of Talossa does not claim parts of Antarctica. We may be foolish, but not that foolish. The Kingdom is claiming Antarctic territory, though.

council of ark has decided to retract any information on ark maramia from the list of micronations hosted on www.listofmicronations.com (as well as from any such list if we would be able to achieve it) thanks

Request denied.
The existence of your micronation is an historical fact - which, need I remind you, you personally have frequently publicly expounded upon at length, and in considerable detail.
The facts of its existence are documented in the public record via its website, as well as your public comments and private email communications on the subject.
The List of Micronations was conceived as a scholarly project to progressively comprehensively document all known past and present micronations as far as is possible.
It does not merely serve as a convenient advertisement for the listed entities, with entries added or removed on the whim of those running those entities.
The List of Micronations will therefore continue to document your micronation.
If its functional status or other data have changed in some way, your entry can of course be updated to reflect this, but outright deletion is simply not an option.

since 33xVD 8ADR (march 16, 1999), ark maramia does not recognise it-self as a micronation and has suspended all connections to any micronation and their organisations. thus, its functional status is defunct.

There are many micronations that do not consider themselves to be micronations, nor use the term "micronation" as part of their self-description - however, self-identification and operational status are two completely unrelated concepts.
I've checked your website, and there is no indication there that your micronation is defunct, ie no longer operational.
Consequently, its status will continue to be noted as "active" on the List of Micronations, in line with the inclusion notes detailed at the bottom of the list.

what if we turn into czech curling club? If you do, be sure to let us know. I'm sure there are many fans of the sport of curling in the micronational community.

I, Emperor John Waite of the Rose Empire, hereby humbly request that the Rose Empire be added to the list of micronations. We are a small country of 3 citizens, a Constitutional Monarchy, wherein I the Emperor and my wife the Empress have equal and absolute right to add text to, remove text from, and edit the Imperial Constitution, which is the law within the Empire. We do claim territory and own and occupy that territory, which is completely surrounded by the State of South Dakota within the United States of America. We were founded April 15th 2008 and are dedicated to providing the greatest benefits of freedom to our citizens. If any further information is required please let me know and I will be glad to provide it.

No problem Claudio.
I've been working on the next major update of the list, and hope to publish it in the next few weeks.

Is this new Republic of Lavalon related to the defunct Republic of Lavalon in some way, or it an entirely new creation, by an unrelated person, with the same name?

Lavalon was founded as a Principality in 2002 by Ciaron Broeck. There was a "coup" in 2004 (which was rejected by the founder of Lavalon), and a Republic of Lavalon was declared by two citizens. The Republic of Lavalon lapsed into inactivity sometime in 2006. In December 2008 we established a "Provisional Committee" to discuss reestablishing a Lavalonian micronation. This was done with the blessing of Lavalon's founder. The key persons involved in the earlier Republic of Lavalon were aware of this process and have voiced no objection. The Provisional Committee declared a Republic of Lavalon on the 23rd of July. We claim to be a successor state to both former Lavalonian micronations. You can read some different accounts of Lavalonian History at our website, and you are more than welcome to come to your own conclusions about the validity of our claim. What is certain is that at this point in time we are the only claimants to the micronational name "Lavalon". regards, Jason Mckerra Consul Republic of Lavalon

Ciaron Broeck ? Who is that ?
I thought it was founded by Kieran Bennett.
For the purposes of simplicity and comprehensibility I'll add the new republic to the list as a separate entity. Strictly speaking, new entities are not included on the list till they've been in existence for 12 months, but there does seem to be some level of intermittent continuity in this case.

One and the same as I understand it. A number of formally teenage micronationalists (I could name a dozen) adopted micronational handles later in life, for reasons of privacy. Not that it worked in his case, check out the bottom entry on this webpage: greenswatch.com/extremist_greens.aspx

Ah yes... I had stumbled across that site before. I thought the name seemed familiar.
Personally I don't see what need any micronationalist has for "anonymity" - unless they work for the CIA, KGB, Asio or MI5... and let's be honest... it's not as though anyone actually views some 11 year-old self-declared king as a threat to the foundations of society.

An eleven year old's doodlings on the internet can easily find their way into a shit sheet against a twenty yearolds political ambitions. Micronationalists who want privacy don't usually care about the state so much as their peers.

Indeed.
Which is why I never commit anything to writing on the internet unless I accept that I may need to justify my position to a complete stranger 20 years from now.
It's a lesson quite a number of micronationalists will learn the hard way.

Any micronationalist under a certain age ( say, 18?) could be justified in adopting a handle. Not only is it safer for a minor who does not necessarily truly know who they are talking to in certain cicumstances, but also to avoid uncomfortable situations, I think. Blech, I have just got back from my sabbatical ( ) to Spain. Ignore any drivelling.
