A '''[[micronation]]''' is an entity that claims to be an independent nation or state but is not generally recognized by world governments or major international organizations.
The title '''[[Grand Duke of Westarctica]]''' was created by Travis McHenry in June 2004 as part of the transition of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] from a [[Micronations|new country project]] to a [[sovereignty|sovereign]] nation. The legal basis for the creation of the title is found in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]], as well as the [[Achaean Royal Charter]].


Micronations are distinguished from imaginary countries and from other kinds of social groups (such as eco-villages, campuses, tribes, clans, and sects) by expressing a formal and persistent, even if unrecognized, claim of [[sovereignty]] over some physical territory. Micronations are also distinct from true secessionist movements; micronations' activities are almost always peaceful enough to be ignored rather than challenged by the established nations whose territory they claim.
