A micronation is fundamentally a nation established by one person or a small group, with no global recognition**. Think of it like a Mock Government or Model UN, but with more genuine goals than simply government recreation! Micronations can be made for many reasons, the main ones being dislike for the government the leader of a micronation lives under, for recreational purposes, and to advocate for a specific cause. Curnon has evolved over time from a fun project to an organized advocacy group, hoping to make the world a better, fairer place.

The term “micronation” is sometimes confused with the smallest European and Asian nations such as the Vatican City, San Marino, Singapore, and Liechtenstein. These countries are accurately called “microstates”, and should not be confused with Micronations.

A model UN works in a roughly similar way to many micronations, although the best example would be a Mock Government. The only 'real' difference between a Micronation and a Mock Government is that a Mock Government is based on an already, or pre-existing nation. Micronations on the other hand, are not solely based on any country. In practice, Mock Gov and Micronational communities stay seperate and often don interact.

The Unitary Republic of Curnon is a Micronation established in December 2022, based on a vision for equality, and a world where all voices are heard. Curnon has an extensive history of LGBTQ+ rights, anti-discrimination campaigns and welcoming community, where all can belong!
