Editing Micronation (section)

=== Other claims ===
Some micronations have attempted to establish themselves in [[international waters]]—parts of the [[sea]] that cannot be claimed by any sovereign state—by seasteading. This involves the creation of permanent dwellings at sea. Some micronations are associated with [[the Seasteading Institute]], a [[non-profit]] organisation formed to facilitate the establishment of these seasteads.<ref name="Seasteading"/><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wired.com/2009/01/mf-seasteading/|last=Baker|first=Chris|date=19 January 2009|title=Live Free or Drown: Floating Utopias on the Cheap|work=[[Wired Magazine|Wired]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Eveleth |first=Rose |author-link=Rose Eveleth |date=14 April 2015 |url=https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150414-i-rule-my-own-ocean-micronation |title='I rule my own ocean micronation' |work=[[BBC News]]}}</ref>
