Ten Reasons You Should Start Your Own Micronation

 From the home office, here are ten reasons you should start your own micronation!

10. You have a lot of creative ideas. Micronations offer many opportunities for creativity!

9. You want to make new friends. The micronational community is large and very friendly!

8. You're a "political science geek". Micronations allow you to simulate various forms of government to "see what would happen".

7. You need a conversation-starter. There's nothing like "Well, actually, I'm a king/prince/duke" to get people's attention!

6. It's good practice for the seemingly-inevitable "balkanization" of society. (I wish I was kidding...)

5. You feel the need for more pageantry in your life. A little pomp and circumstance, so to speak. (But also see my series on "Making your life more royal")

4. You're quite sure you know how to run things better than those idiots in [insert name of capital city here]. So prove it!

3. You have too much money. Seriously, this can get rather expensive!

2. It can be a lot of fun! (Although there's also way too much drama sometimes...)

1. Because you want to. And in a modern society, that might just be the best reason of all!

EDIT: Bonus reason! Because as a ruler you're a fons honorum which means you can bestow royal titles on your friends and family!
