Micronations

Bored of visiting the same old UN-recognised countries? Ready to explore somewhere unique and perhaps a little wacky? Want to add some really rare stamps to your passport? Then let this comprehensive guide to self-proclaimed nations take you to a bunch of places you've never heard of. Here are countries where the national anthem is the sound of a rock being dropped into water; where the currency is pegged to the value of Pillsbury's cookie dough; where the citizens vote in a poodle as president and where if you're lucky, the king will put on a pot of tea when you stop by.
