WOW, thats great! I am interested in them as well. 20 years ago I was 
participating one, for 9 years I am a citizen of another one, since last 
year I try to develop yet another one.

This might be interesting, however the number of people interested both 
in non-icann domains and micronations might be, nomen omen, microscopic.

Are they aware of limited access to websites behind openNIC domains? Are 
you sure they unterstand this is not a clearnet? Do they know that they 
might have to frequently inform their users about the necessity of 
making some settings to get the access to openNIC domains? Do they, and 
you, understand, that a number of users won’t make any effort to do 
anything in this matter?

I always support the idea of democtatic Internet. I advocate among 
others for openNIC. The results are far from satisfying. I know about 
only 2 people who were interested, but imo it was only an oddity for 
them and they do not use it at all.
