PRINCIPALITY OF HUTT RIVER
The Principality of Hutt River is a micronation located within Western Australia, which was founded on April 21, 1970. It was formerly known as Hutt River Province. The principality claims to be an independent state but is not officially recognized by Australia de jure, however this state has already been declared independence for 40 years and the Australian Government has not been able to legally find a way to abolish it. Hutt River claimed its Independence by writing to its Administration. When the Australian Government responded to the Administrator of that State, its recognition was tacitly implicit and since then it has been considered so.

Sealand, officially the Principality of Sealand, is an unrecognized self-proclaimed state, considered internationally as a micronation, whose form of government is the hereditary constitutional monarchy. Despite the lack of recognition of its sovereignty and legitimacy, Sealand is one of the best known micronations in the world and is often used as a case study in how the principles of international law can be applied to a territory in quarrel.
WIRTLANDS
Wirtland is the first experimental Internet-based sovereign country, a micronation (a self-declared state but not recognized as an entity).

International law (Montevideo Convention) leaves the door open for the formation of new states. To be eligible for international recognition Wirtland needs territory.
