There's a new post up on the blog this morning, pointing at a few resources for anyone who wants to learn diplomacy.
kingofslabovia.blogspot.com/2025/12/do-y...
Do you want to learn diplomacy?
Last week, we talked about how MicroCon seems to suit the bill as a good venue for diplomacy. However, what if you can't get to MicroCon, ...

On Friday, we continued our "Micronational Spook Country" series by looking at the concept of "counter-intelligence", and even drew (imperfect) parallels to earlier-discussed concepts of cryptography.
kingofslabovia.blogspot.com/2025/12/so-w...
So, what's counter-intelligence?
If you're hanging around the intelligence community, or watching too many spy movies, then sooner or later you're going to hear the term "c...

This blog post went up on Tuesday this week, and explores how MicroCon aligns to the principles of diplomacy. I think it's a pretty good fit!

Friday is blog day, and we're still in Spook Country, micronation-style. Today I'm discussing a powerful intelligence analysis technique, "Analysis of Competing Hypotheses" or ACH, that helps prevent "tunnel vision" in the field.

It's a milestone over on the blog - the 100th post! I ruminate about where we've come from, talk about where it might be going in the near future, and complain about Google's AdSense program saying it's "low-content".

There's a new post up over on the blog discussing "Minecraft Micronations" - that is, micronations whose claimed territory is entirely virtual. And I manage to draw a parallel to Neal Stephenson's cyberpunk classic "Snow Crash"

Happy Friday! Or, Happy Black Friday, if you celebrate commercial excess. 🙂 Anyway, there's a new post up over on the blog, with links to a couple of old (post-MicroCon 2019) videos:

There's another new post over on the blog - this time I'm explaining why it might actually be a good idea for your micronation to have a military!

A new post landed on the blog yesterday! I can't figure out how to connect the blog directly to Bluesky so these posts go up automatically when the blog updates. If This Then That (ITTT) doesn't seem to have a connector.

FYI - some film makers have made a documentary about micronations! They are currently looking for a distributor, but they've entered it into a bunch of film festivals. Keep an eye on www.instagram.com/micronations... for updates!

Well, we've made it through another week! Over on the blog today, I'm discussing Slabovia's position on treaties - the short answer is, we do sign some kinds, but we don't see a need for "mutual recognition", trade, or defense treaties.

It's a new week, and there's a new post over on the blog! This one discusses the problem of "sovereign citizens" - the Venn diagram of the two of them isn't quite two completely distinct circles but the differences are more numerous than the commonalities!
