This is not a game or a fantasy. The Aerican Empire is a real group, in real life.

That's umbelievable this is the first time this thing get a Metafilter's FPP: I've probably read about it ten years ago for the first time, and then forgot it's existence completely. Not the right time to became popular, anyway: you know who else used the smiley faces? I guess this might be the smoking gun to justify the ~~invasion~~ operation freedom in the Empire.

The Metafilter Protectorate: First we liberate Sealand, then the Aerican Empire. Aid packages will include health advice about your cats, moderately entertaining youtube videos, and sci-fi short stories you'll vaguely recognize from the 10th grade. Other micronations apply within.

Seriously? we're doing micronations now? I've been a part of a (relatively) prominent micronation for more than a decade, founded one more than twenty years ago, and even *I*'m not posting about one. Sheesh.

We've been doing micronations for a long time.

Nobody FPPed my nation yet. Damn Ex-Soviets keep deleting the Wikipedia entry in a coordinated attempt to erase the historical existence of Burhanistan. We still have some of their old nukes though.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think they're missing an "m" somewhere.
