Micronation

Micronations are countries started by one or a group of people which are not seen as actual countries by the United Nations, or any other nation These countries are usually started on the internet, using platforms like Discord (software) to message and coordinate. Other Micronations, like the Kingdom of Juniperia operate in real life. Micronations form together and are often found on MicroWiki, a wikipedia-like encyclopedia about micronations. 
People make micronations for lots of reasons. Some are to show they do not like their main country (for example the United Kingdom), or if they want to make money, or to use it as a place for themselves. Other micronations are inspired by micronations and become their own micronation.

Football.
The biggest football organisation for micronations is known as the MFA "(Micronational Football Association)", founded by Joe Foxon in 2009. It has 13 micronations from 7 countries as members. It makes a competition every 4 years called the MFA World Cup for all the micronations in the world to play in. The first World Cup will be in Southern England in 2013.
Singing.
Every year there is a singing competition called the MicroVision Song Contest. Micronations make a song and put it on the internet, and then other micronations vote for the best song. The winner then makes the next one.
