<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SanMiguel, post: 214881, member: 3379&quot;]areas that issue currency and actually use those issues for daily commerce, i throw into my &#039;world banknote&#039; section. areas that issue currency and a different issue prevails, i throw into my &#039;private issue&#039; section. </p><p><br /></p><p>hutt river province may or may not actually use their own currency for transactions within their borders, but in the end it&#039;s still just a farm that &#039;seceded&#039; when the farmer found a legal loophole. the actual population is still made up of the farmer&#039;s family, and as such i don&#039;t recognize hutt river as a functioning &#039;country&#039;. the passports, overseas representatives, official titles, and citizenships they issue are fun gimmicks, but aren&#039;t any more valid than anything disneyland issues. disneyland is &#039;recognized&#039; world wide as the &#039;magic kingdom&#039; with mickey mouse as their &#039;king&#039;. they have they&#039;re own functioning currency, all the employees are known as &#039;ambassadors&#039;, and anybody can buy a &#039;title&#039; for their daughters to make them a disneyland princess. in the end, disneyland is just an amusement park.</p><p><br /></p><p>same thing with sealand. they may be in international waters, and can legally claim to be independent and sovereign...but in the end, they&#039;re still just an abandoned oil platform in the middle of the ocean.</p><p><br /></p><p>it&#039;s easier for me to consider transdniestra , kurdistan, or chechnya as countries. they have an actual population, borders, flags, governing bodies, and real world issues. if kurdistan or chechnya ever issue currency, i&#039;d put them in my world banknote section instead of my private issue section. but private fantasy countries, (micronations), to me are just that...fantasies. they&#039;ll go next to my disney dollars and antarctica issues. either way, no matter what anybody calls them, i still collect them and find them interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
