Bibliography of works on micronationalism

French writer Bruno Fuligni has authored three books on micronationalism.

Although the academic study of micronations—known as micropatriology—is limited, there have nevertheless been a number of published works on the subject.[1][2] The following is a list documenting these written works. This list does not contain works wherein micronationalism is the secondary theme, such as reference works which contain or make references to micronations and books about individual micronations.

The earliest-published book about micronationalism was How to Start Your Own Country (1979) by libertarian science-fiction author Erwin S. Strauss, in which Strauss documents various approaches to sovereignty and their chances of success.[2][3] The work became regarded as the seminal work on micronationalism.[4] Two French-language books followed; L'Etat c'est moi: histoire des monarchies privées, principautés de fantaisie et autres républiques pirates in 1997 by French writer and historian Bruno Fuligni, and Ils ne siègent pas à l'ONU in 2000 by Swiss academic Fabrice O'Driscoll, who also founded the French Institute of Micropatrology.[5][6] In 2006, travel guide book publisher Lonely Planet published Micronations: The Lonely Planet Guide to Home-Made Nations, a humorous gazetteer that profiles various micronations and information on their locations, flags, stamps and other facts.[2][3]

Fuligni authored a second book on micronationalism alongside Isabelle Hanne, a photo book entitled Micronations, in 2013.[7] In 2016, he authored an atlas and reference work about micronational kingdoms entitled Royaumes d’aventure: Ils ont fondé leur propre État.[8] In 2022,[a] Australian legal academics Harry Hobbs and George Williams authored two books about micronationalism; the academic Micronations and the Search for Sovereignty, focusing on the legal aspects of micronations, and the general-purpose How to Rule Your Own Country: The Weird and Wonderful World of Micronations, detailing numerous micronations categorised by chapter.[2][9]
