Links!

General: These sites contain information about topics covered here.

Flags of the World- A staggering project, which offers the flags and thumbnail histories of many nations I've covered here, and many I haven't gotten around to yet. Nearly as humbling as Rulers.org, which aims to list every head of state (ever), or as WorldStatesmen.org, which has the same ambition and also includes links to constitutions, flags, anthems, and a wealth of other information.

The Imperial Collection- A guide to banknotes, postage, and coinage from micronations and secessionist states.

The Micronation and Sovereignty Website Index- A guide to websites for and about micronation projects.

Temporary Autonomous Zone- This work by the anarchist Hakim Bey contains valuable insights into many of the movements and nations I have covered here. However, it should be noted that Bey's work is as much romantic polemic as it is historical research.

By Nation: Please note that many other links are located in the Bibliography section.
