Thank you for the explanation. I notice that the admins and the psuedo-admins spend a considerable amount of time trying to explain all this. You can't blame people for showcasing fantasy nations on this wiki when the distinction between fantasy and micronation is ambigious. I think your definition is a step in the right direction.

The word fantasy is problematic. Fantasy implies unrealistic (middle-earth, fairy land, never never land) while fictional includes both realistic and fantastical "made up" elements.

If a micronation is fictional or has a population of stuffed animals but does not attempt to hide this, its claims are technically verifiable. However, a claim that part of a neighborhood, backyard, or a bedroom is independent, by any meaning of the word, is decidedly not verifiable. In all cases, the verifiability requirement, as it is written, prevents individuals from making deceptive claims.

My intent is not to be argumentative and I would not be offended if my suggestions were ignored. Just offering constructive criticism.
