Starts a Micronation

I love the little kid referring to his parents as an international committee

[radking]

That kid was so funny. "The international community also known as my parents" XD

[AntithesisDCLXVI]

16:22 "the congress are my stuffed animals because they're always there." This kid knows how to pick more qualified politicians than the average voter!

[ianmoriarty]

This is honestly kind of wholesome. Mostly harmless, pretty interesting, fun, and it doesn't seem harmfully crazy - just a bit eccentric.

[El_Presidente_]

Imagine if the UN just start recognising one of them as a real nation

[murilocorrea]

Expected this to be way cringier an crazy, but it was surprisingly wholesome and fun in an innocent way.

[mollypenderson]

I turned my bedroom into a country. My parents are a threat when it’s 7am and tell me to goto school and invade my country by opening the door!

[ktt]

This is SO cute. I love seeing adults like this retaining their imagination and creativity. It seems super wholesome and fun.

[Slippin_Jimmy_]

As my political science teacher put it: "Anybody can create their own country, but as soon as they stop paying taxes they're going to have problems."

[winterx]

that little kid you interviewed was amazing

[askhowiknow]

The Antarctic Treaty only prevents you from claiming Antarctica if you sign the treaty...

[chewsday]

This seems like a very productive way of doing roleplaying. Meeting new friends/allies, learning each others culture and stuff and helping people in need, awesome.

[PhilipIIofMacadamia]

"Do you have a transit system?"

* *cuts to man playing with a toy train* *

"Uhhh... well..."

[BMarie]

16:34 this kid is a legend. Wise beyond his years. His humor... woah.

[schmutza]

It doesn't surprise me that the guy who founded Micronations was a Brit

[Barrobroadcastmaster]

I like the girls who carry their land in a briefcase. That's really innovative. That way, they can take their micronation wherever they want.

[neumo]

At first I thought this would be a nutjob convention, but actually these people have some clever loopholes

[Ash-verity]

Honestly thats so fun good for them enjoying a unique hobby there's something super cute about it. They know how to have a good time genuine to themselves
