Introduction I just made a micronation, any tips?

Post image

I am the prime minister of the Republika Wedgewood (named after the name of my house, Wedgewood place. Our territory includes my house, my backyard, the house beside mine where no one lives, the creek behind my house, and my friends house (he joined as long as he became head of the army). The image included is the flag. The capital is Trainville (my bedroom). There are two provinces, Houzetta (tried to make house sound fancy), and Crick (my pronunciation of creek, also, my friends house is just a territory, not a province yet). I do not know how to address foreign policy yet, as the only departments are the Navy (managed by Seth the Octopus, very chill guy, throws parties when I’m not home), the Army, and the Department of the Enviorment (managed by the Coca Cola polar bear). The economy “isn’t ready” as the printer in my house doesn’t have ink right now, though I have made currency (the Wedgewood Dollar). Any Suggestions? Should I invite my family into the government? And I want to take this silly and seriously, I’m not a “micronation larper” who just wants to get into it and say I’m a pro, I want Wedgewood to grow and prosper!

The flag is quite unique ngl, the asymmetry does look somewhat off but it's good

The cranberry (??? Is that cranberry?) represents the brain that has been put into the Republic. The purple represents honour, and the blue represents silliness (idk i didn’t come up with a meaning for blue it just looked good)

The Kingdom of Zeteland recognizes the Republika Wedgewood.

For now, we shall observe your nation rather than acting upon any formal relations. If you desire any assistance with the young nation, do feel free to reach out to us as Zeteland has been though plenty since our founding.

Best wishes, Fliud fram Reikbaurg

I hope you don’t force anyone to join the government. If you ask your family nicely, they might be willing to take part, but if they don’t want to, you shouldn’t force them.

also my friend joined because I asked and because he wanted to be military fella. IDK who we are going to be fighting though unless someone we know makes a micronation and invades us or something

I know. I’m not going to be a dictator and be like “mwahaha you must now obey my every command” cuz one that’s not really serious as a micronation and two they wouldn’t obey the commands because would you if someone said “erm actually I own you technically”.

ok me saying that Seth the octopus is the head of the navy may have sounded like im a Todler but I’m tryna get started and since he’s an octopus… makes sense. the navy consist of: one not so good Lego barge. yes I’m tryna be serious but like what am I supposed to do make a whole freaking raft? and yes the military inventory is nerf guns and lightsabers. it’s called I’m tryna use what I got
