Hello everyone,
When ever I bring up the topic of Unrecognised States in a chat room or talk with my friends they tell me that micro-nation’s are 5th world nation’s.
So that brings my Question are Unrecognised States 5th world nation’s? and what are 1,2,3,4th world nations?.
I know that 3 world nation’s are “Developing Nation’s” like those in Africa. And than 4th world nation’s are nation’s like “San Marino”, “Vatican City”, “Andorra”, etc…
Thanks for the help.

"5th World Nation" is a term coined a couple of years ago by a New York micronationist of Italian extraction named Cesidio Tallini.
He runs something called the Kingdom of Bucksfan, and is well-known for being - if not totally insane - then distinctly short of a few cows in the upper paddock.
Amongst other things he believes himself to be a god, a genius, the founder of a university and the high priest of his own religion - and has said so often in public forums while threatening people who disagree with his incomprehensible theories with destruction "when the Apocalypse comes".
He also thinks himself a member of a "new race" of Indigo people and hates the UN.
His pet theory is that the internet is a "place" that is beyond the jurisdiction of any nation, and that all micronations on the internet are therefore truly independent "5th world nations" (presumably until someone pulls the plug and carts his server off with them).
The "5th world" is a concept stolen from Hopi native American mythology.
