You have been sentenced to life in a micronation of your choosing (Sealand, Molossia, etc.) The micronation must have actual land and you may never leave that land. What micronation do you choose?
Edit: clarification of the rules. A micronation is by definition not recognized internationally. As a result, small sovereign states like the Vatican are not allowed.
Also you can’t just make your own micronation wherever you want. It has to already exist.
Does the vatican count? I’d get into the archives and make it my lifes work to find all the secrets.
Plus it’s pretty cool there, there’s people who do spend their lives there, and always visitors from round the world to hang out with.
Technically so is sealand though, the UK and Germany both had to recognise it at different points
Can I afford it if I choose some place like Monaco?
No guarantees on money but you can’t leave. Also Monaco doesn’t count because it’s a city state and is internationally recognized.
Are there any good ones? Am I allowed to launch a coup?
Well Jämtland is Jämtland, but there is nothing wrong with that one. Really nice place, the biggest town is lovely, if you don’t like the city ther is plenty of smaller towns, villages and cabins in the woods. They even have there own famous lake monster.
I would recommend against the coup, but if you gave your mind set you can probably find some new friends there to help you.
The closest to me AFAIK is Sealand, but I’d rather not, tbh. I do actually have a passport from Waveland, declared as part of a Greenpeace campaign some years back and based on Rockall, but also not too appealing as a long-term residence.
At one site that I lived and worked on for several years, we discussed declaring unilateral independence on several occasions. It was a shingle spit nature reserve and seemed a promising location, but we never did. Well, not so far.
Overall, the Free Borough of Llanrwst looks a good bet. I have been there and definitely enjoy the area.
