The '''Antarctic Micronational Union''' (AMU) is the first inter-micronational organization comprised exclusively of [[micronation]]s that claim [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] territory.
The '''Antarctic Micronational Union''' (AMU) is a defunct coalition that was the first inter-micronational organization comprised exclusively of [[micronation]]s that claimed [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] territory.


The main goal of the AMU is to organize all Antarctic micronations and protect the territory and claims of its member states. The AMU also maintains the most up-to-date information about current claims in Antarctica to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Since 2010 the AMU has been mentioned in Dutch, Belgian, and Russian news media.

Although the departure was first proposed by Flandrensis, Westarctica was bound to follow their ally in leaving the AMU due to the provisions of the [[West-Antarctic Free Alliance]], a treaty which linked the foreign affairs of the two nations.

==Current status==
In the wake of the five micronations leaving the AMU, it appears the organization has fallen apart. There has been no activity on the website or official Facebook page since December of 2016. Since there has been no official declaration of disbanding the AMU, it is assumed that the organization is now defunct.
