(Most) micronationals are NOT sovereign citizens

 One unfortunate aspect of the micronational community is that it intersects slightly with movements like sovereign citizens, Reichsburgers, Freemen on the Land, and other such groups. That is to say, while most micronationals do not carry or profess anything like the beliefs that the other groups have, most is not all. Slabovia's policy is not to engage with such groups or their members.

Members of these other groups tend to carry beliefs that modern "macronational" entities are somehow not legitimate and do not have the authority to govern the individual. Some (like Reichsburgers) claim citizenship in another older (and defunct) nation-state, while others claim that the individual is sovereign and cannot be imposed upon by the state (which would at least be tolerable if these groups didn't often try to back up their claims with violence or the threat thereof).

It's become a particular problem over in Europe with an article published in the press earlier this year which tried to claim that all micronationals are members of these other groups in some respect - a claim which is patently untrue.

In response to such concerns, Zar Antonov, the president of Obscurium, has authored the Chyse Charter (formally the "CHYŠE CHARTER ON THE DIFFERENTIATION OF MICRONATIONS AND SIMILAR, BUT HOSTILE ENTITIES AND MICRONATIONAL CONDUCT"). This document, which he's encouraging European micronations to sign, differentiates between micronations and such sovereign groups and individuals, both by specifically eschewing the use of violence by micronational states and by acknowledging the supremacy of the macronational state and its legal system. The Chyse Charter can be found here.
