Greetings to All !! A subject not talked about too often...not nearly enough... It is common knowledge that the majority of micronations are founded and lead by males ( Micro Patriarchy ); with very few females involved in micronationalism ( Micro Matriarchy ). That being the case....why is micronationalism primarily a "Mans' Domain" ? ( i.e. so-called "Macho Micros )Of course, there are several excellent exceptions; such as Queen Holly I of Bokonton, and Margorie of the NFA, to name only two that come to my mind. ( I know there to be others ) Personally I would welcome more female micronationalist into the Greater MicroSphere; as it would reflect more and more of how women are taking a leadership role in government....both in the "macro" community of nations, as well as in the MicroSphere. How many Matriarchy MicroGovts are know to exist; either in present tense, or else in past tense ?? I know that most micronations have males and females as their citizenship base; however, very few MicroGovts exhibit any major roles of top leadership from within their female population base. Regards to All !! ______________

We, Formoris, are traditionnally considered as a matriarchy.
This mostly translates into matrilinearity for filiation and sponsorship.

exception, speaking here. ;D
I personally have been frustrated time and time again by this conundrum. Many-not all - micronations start as an imaginative exercise/dream, and some, but not all- start when one is young.
Women are equally imaginative etc. as men, and I constantly wonder why not many women immerse themselves more deeply into micronationalism.
Also, who is Marjorie and who are the NFA?

Also, who is Marjorie and who are the NFA?[/size][/quote] Greetings Queen Holly I !! Marjorie is / was a high ranking member of the MicroGovt of the NFA; which stands for Northern Forest Archipelago. She is a highly respected micronationalist in her own right; and was deeply dedicated to micronationalism, nature, and the NFA. Her husband is the Crown Prince of the NFA; and they have several children who are heirs to the NFA Royal Crown. ( I may be mistaken on exact titles, etc... ) The NFA is located in New England ( USA ), and in upper-state New York to be more exact; however, please do not quote me on the direction of my location, as I have not spoken with her for quite some time, and my memory could very well be a bit off. She seems to have fallen off of the radar-screen the last year or so; however, she and the NFA could be as active as ever, but on different microforums than what I deal with. ( ? ) If I am not mistaken, Marjorie was a school teacher by "macro" profession; however, here again, please understand that my memory could be a bit off-center. Highest Regards !! ________________
