Summits

The first summit, described as a conference, occurred at Dangar Island in Sydney on 17 April 2010. It was organised by Judy Lattas of the Department of Sociology at Macquarie University, George Cruickshank—self-stylised George II—of the Empire of Atlantium and Princess Paula of the Principality of Snake Hill.[1] [2] Numerous micronations were in attendance, and the conference included a keynote session for speakers.[3] [4] PoliNation 2012, held on 14 July at Chelsea Old Town Hall in Chelsea, London, was organised by Lattas and Cruickshank with assistance from Jacopo Castelletti of the Federal Republic of Saint Charlie. Several academics, authors and journalists were in attendance alongside micronationalists. The conference also included a half-hour lunch break.[5]

PoliNation 2015 commenced for two days, between 4–5 July in the Free Republic of Alcatraz, a micronation near Perugia in Umbria, Italy. 14 micronations registered to attend.[6] As with previous editions, scholars and journalists were also in attendance at the conference.[7] Topics of discussion included an intermicronational organisation similar to the United Nations, ways of conducting trade between micronations, micronational economics and the Alcatraz Environmental Treaty of 2015 regarding climate change was unveiled at the conference.[6] [8]
