Without recognition in the international order—sometimes without even geographical territory—the world’s micronations are made almost entirely of this intangible spirit. Their response to the coronavirus pandemic can’t be waged with medical resources, PPE supply lines and police-enforced social distancing. Instead, they have each other, and the identity they’ve built collectively. Through diplomatic channels (email), we reached out to micronations founded in the United States, to see how they’re weathering the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and to hear what good tidings they bring to the people of the country that surrounds them....

Following an August 13 ruling by a federal court in Texas, the administration faced pressure to renew the policy, with the legal standing for that ruling supported by an August 24 Supreme Court decision whereupon the nation’s highest governing body refused to block the Texas decision....
