Majosta Atlas of Micronations, Anomalous States and Territories: Volume 2

Take a peek inside the world’s most comprehensive atlas of geopolitical oddities. From full-color maps and rare flags to passport replicas and historical notes, this 1,000-page encyclopedia (in 2 volumes) immerses you in the fascinating realm of unrecognized states, breakaway regions, and sovereign dreams. Perfect for academics, collectors, and map lovers alike. *** This is an atlas of all political entities that consider themselves nations, independent or autonomous states, ranging from recognised autonomous territories to de facto or provisional states, including unrepresented peoples, to political, artistic, tourist, virtual, imaginary and even burlesque and fraudulent micronations. Perhaps today the era of the nation-state is over and it is time to think about a social scheme that takes into account all the complexities of a globalised collectivity, to be understood for better or worse. A planet divided into some two hundred territories, where one government makes decisions but separated from the rest of the world, seems a system suited to pre-global societies. Today, it is necessary to organise the peoples of the world on several levels, starting with super-partisan international organisations within which there are nation states, which in turn are subdivided into autonomous regions, thus accommodating all the particularisms and localisms that human society has developed.
