A Note on Micronations Any Web search on the term "micronation" will reveal the existence of many quasi-national jurisdictions of personal declaration. An example of this is the micronation of Talossa, which was founded in a Milwaukee teenager's bedroom in the 1970s. The Domination of Eiler does not acknowledge the relevance of any "micronation", any more than it acknowledges the relevance of any "nation". The Domination considers the concept of the nation-state to be obsolete. Through most of history, most of mankind was governed by empire-states, which claimed judgment over everything they could, but gave their occupants autonomy as the emperors saw fit. The concept of a nation-state, with absolute jurisdiction within a limited territory, is a recent development. And as long as any nation-state can dispute the judgment of another nation-state without binding arbitration, the concept of the nation-state cannot be said to be successful. The Domination of Eiler considers itself to be part of an imperial framework encompassing all mankind, with no superior power except the Kingdom of Heaven (which all Christian emperors acknowledged also). As such, the term "empire" may apply, but the terms "nation" and "micronation" are not applicable to it.
