Imagine…
…an underwater nation where residents live in bio-domes, and use candy for money.
…a rock n’ roll republic where music starts each day and the president looks like Elvis.
…a kingdom whose citizens wear shades of purple, and travel by unicorn.
…a gamer state where video game scores translate to real money in the bank.
In this class, students can mastermind, invent, develop, and design their very own nation and culture.
Micronations are imaginary countries that have many of the same things as real ones: laws, customs, culture and history – even their own flags, coins, and stamps. Step by step, using examples from real nations, other micronations, and fictional lands, students will establish a government, create a language and distinctive clothing, initiate unique holidays, print a currency, write a constitution, and so much more.
- Dynamic discussions and hands-on activities will explore:
Government
Political Systems
Language
National Symbols
History
Geology & Resources
Physical Geography
Economy
Currency
Citizenship
Infrastructure:
Transportation & Communication
Cultural Identity:
Food, Art, Music, Clothing, Pastimes, Holidays
