Facebookia

Facebookia, officially known as the Federal Socialist Republic of Facebookia, is a micronation located on a series of reclaimed platforms in the Pacific Ocean, roughly 500 miles west of California. Founded in 2018 by a collective of digital activists and disillusioned former tech employees, Facebookia's stated aim is to create a society governed by principles of open data, decentralized governance, and universal basic income funded by advertising revenue.

The nation's territory is comprised of modular, interconnected platforms that are continuously expanding and reconfiguring. The population is small and largely transient, consisting primarily of those who advocate for the micronation's ideals or who are involved in its ongoing construction and maintenance. Citizenship is acquired through the completion of an online application and a commitment to the nation's founding principles.

Facebookia's economy is based on a cryptocurrency called "LikeCoin" and revenue generated from targeted advertising served on its digital infrastructure. The government operates through a direct democracy model facilitated by custom-built social media platforms, where all citizens can propose and vote on legislation. While Facebookia has no formal diplomatic relations with recognized nation-states, it engages in online advocacy and has established symbolic ties with other digital communities. Its long-term viability and impact remain subjects of international observation.
