Improved to Good Article status by LunaEatsTuna (talk). Nominated by Bruxton (talk) at 16:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Micronation; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Recent GA, article long enough, hooks are good, though I would propose one more:

ALT2: ... that micronations have claimed territory in Antarctica, in international waters, and in space?

Otherwise, hooks all cited and no copyvio detected. QPQ done, so good to go. Juxlos (talk) 15:48, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Juxlos that is a very interesting hook too! Bruxton (talk) 19:34, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
