The book, The Fifth World: Micronationalism on Steroids, is now available: book.5world.netAll purchases are appreciated, and support the growth of serious micronationalism. Your purchase also puts food on the table for the author, the HMRD Cesidio Tallini. All efforts to make news of this book available to others, in other ways, by other means, in other fora, will also be deeply appreciated.

Thanks for the vote of confidence for my book, Holly. The book mentions several non-UMMOA or non-MPR micronations (both Fifth and Sixth World nations), five to be exact. As I told Claudio, Reunion is not cited, but the book it does mention quite a bit about Talossa. The book also mentions several Fourth World nations, at least twelve if I include Independent Long Island. In fact, my book mentions at least one nation from each of the existing six worlds. The book is not a "travel guide" to micronations, however, or something similar. As I told several micronationalists, I would have needed the material support of quite a few micronations to write a book like that, and also the cooperation of quite a few. That's not an easy task, even if you are a good writer and journalist, LOL! The book is about what it takes to build a reasonably successful micronation. It is also more than just a "how to" manual, since it introduces at least two new political science discoveries. In fact, had I not made those two breakthroughs, I probably would have never finished writing the book. A profound and meaningful book you will love reading. A great and memorable book also as a gift. I think that if some good newspapers give it a fair review, it could become a classic in micronationalism.

I'll buy it... IF the cover really has animated stars all over it! All good books have animated stars inside the covers more than outside. I think my book is like that too, but I guess I could be biased. Anyway, it is a worthwhile read, while I don't always find a worthwhile read nowadays even when the cover and back appear interesting, and I do buy a lot of books.

While I congratulate you on the production of this book, I would prefer to know more about the book, what is covered in the book, and what nations are mentioned, before purchasing a copy.

While I congratulate you on the production of this book, I would prefer to know more about the book, what is covered in the book, and what nations are mentioned, before purchasing a copy. I believe this article... 5wbookpro.u.cc...already goes into quite sufficient detail, and mentions that The Fifth World: Micronationalism on Steroids is not another travel guide to micronations, but about what it takes to build a reasonably successful micronation. The book is also more than a how-to guide, since it uncovers at least two new discoveries in the field of political science. Since the book is really not a superficial (and arbitrary) list of states, nations, or micronations, but about advanced micronationalism, Fifth World mythology, and nation-building, as the author I feel no obligation to give further details than were already given. Chances are pretty good that I simply did not write the book for you Chaz, nor did I intend to write the book for those who are looking for another tour guide. If you want a tour guide to micronations, you can go ahead and purchase Micronations by John Ryan, George Dunford, and Simon Sellars, a Lonely Planet book, and make them rich, if they are not rich already. I'll eat sardines for another day instead of caviar.
