The question has been raised about the role of superpowers in the "concert of Micras." I intend this to be all-encompassing (allthough, admittingly the invitations only went out to Natopia's closer friends) That means, yes, even superpowers need to be involved. As the name implies, they do have considerable influence.
However, the utter looseness of the concert of micras would allow a congress to be called for only the smaller nations... or the mediums... or a combination.

And how do we measure "superpower" status, exactly? If it's all a matter of citizenship counts, then such status would be extremely ephemeral, and the status quo would change every other week. I think limiting each nation to one delegate would be fairer. After all, no-one should be limited or over-sexed in what they can bring to the bargaining table.

I think Mr Wombat your statement is akin to the United States or the former Soviet Union asking itself whether it was a superpower!
I do not meant to be rabble rousing here, but if we truly want this to be meaningful, then we also ought to invite the other major micronational superpower (apart from Shireroth), the Grand Commonwealth.

Lovely doesn't really interact with us enough (and when they do they {Kieran} often does not understand the full scope of the situation) and I am not sure how big Stormark is, but I think there are probably bigger nations. Aerica has a LARGE amount of citizens but is generally isolated from the Micras sector until very very recently.

And yet you admit that you are. I suggested inviting the GC in another thread. Have they been invited yet? I wouldn't rate Lovely, to be honest. Sure, they have a lot of citizens, but are they even in our "sector"? Do we want them to be in our sector? It's publicity for micronationalism, yes, but can we expect them to participate in this sort of discussion?

Since I have no image of a Lovely breakaway, congratulations, you have succeeded in creating something radically different from nothing!
