There is a lot going on in the world today, but I try never to address it here (although I can be fairly vocal about my opinions in person). Why is that? There's a couple of reasons.
First, to some extent, micronationalism is an escape for me, from a world where I have to worry about things like rent and inflation, the economy, and the political crisis of the week. Within the micronational world, I'm royalty, with the respect of my citizens and my peer leaders from other micronations.
Second, I'm quite sure the macronations (i.e. the major political powers in the world) don't care about me and my micronation. There's no up-side to being noticed by them, and in this age of "big data" and social media data-gathering, there's no impetus to make my opinions known here. It's not going to make a difference in how the "big guys" act and it might attract unwelcome attention.
Finally, I don't think I'd bring anything new or interesting to the mix. Anything I have to say is already said by many others, some of whom are more highly qualified in their opinions than I am.
So, while I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is a "reality-free zone", it's certainly an area where current events aren't so current.
