Many micronations have diplomatic relations with other micronations. According to the declarative theory of statehood of the Montevideo Convention, countries need population, territory, government, and diplomacy to be considered sovereign. Since diplomacy is a requirement, most micronations feel the need to have relations with other states. Since no macronation, or undisputed country, will recognize a micronation, these relations are usually limited to other micronations.
Diplomacy and recognition
Many micronations will not recognise less serious micronations than themselves. Usually micronational diplomacy simply consists of friendly contact between micronations. Some micronations, such as the Principality of Seborga and the Madison Kingdom of Talossa, actually refuse to recognise any micronation as an unofficial or official policy.
Embassies and ambassadors
Micronations are typically very loose on their definitions of embassies and ambassadors. Some will declare just about any location to be an embassy, including a webpage. Lovely, for example, declares any location its flag is displayed to be an embassy. Some micronations consist purely as embassies. Ambassadors to other micronations never live in them. Ambassadors can be to macronations (most commonly to the macronation that surrounds a micronation), but never are recognised as ambassadors by the macronation.
Intermicronational organisations
Several intermicronational organisations and unions exist. The League of Small Nations (LSN), modelled after the League of Nations, consists of the Dominion of British West Florida, the Sovereign Barony of Caux, the Grand Duchy of Greifenberg and the Republic of Molossia. There are also intermicronational organisations that are reputable, and which accept nations and micronations that don't necessarily meet all of the Montevideo Convention requirements for a state, such as the Micronational Professional Registry (MPR) and the League of Secessionist States (LoSS) The largest in micronational history is the Organisation of Active Micronations (OAM), which boasts over 80 member nations. The United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) claims recognition from an organization in Italy by the name of International Parliament for Safety and Peace.
State visits
The first recorded state visit was Grand Duke Paul of Greifenberg visiting President Kevin Baugh of Molossia on April 21, 2008, where they talked about micronationalism. On May 23, 2008, Grand Duke Paul visited Baron John I of the Barony of Caux. From June 27-30, 2008, Prince Christopher and Princess Erin of Vikesland visited Molossia. During the visit, they engaged in joint military and rocket projects. All of these state visits were between members of the League of Small Nations.
War
Micronational war is usually done jokingly. Sometimes micronations will declare war on macronations that surround them. Examples include Hutt River Province and the Conch Republic. Macronations generally ignore this. Other intermicronational wars exist.
Molossia helped to create another micronation, Mustachistan, and after a territorial dispute went to war with it. Molossia also declared a never-ending war on East Germany, which it claims still exists, on Ernst Thälmann Island.

Cort and Fatboy is a podcast that airs every Monday through Friday from 9 to 10 AM on Cascadia FM. The show has been hosted by Cort Webber and co-host Bobby "Fatboy" Roberts in Portland, Oregon, since 2005. It originally aired on local radio station KUFO until October 2009.
History
The show initially debuted on Portland radio station KUFO in 2005. The average broadcast was a mix of pop culture commentary and modern hard rock music featuring celebrity interviews, news, and trivia games. Prior to hosting the show, Webber had ten years of experience on Portland radio. Roberts, came to the show as a rookie in the radio world.
The show received a runner-up "Favorite DJ" award in a "Best of Portland" poll hosted by the local weekly Willamette Week.
On October 24, 2009, Cort and Fatboy was permanently removed from the station's airwaves. Despite the popularity of the show, it was canceled shortly after the station was acquired by Alpha Broadcasting, with the reasoning that it would not fit in with the new format of the station. In an interview on local news station KGW, Webber stated that the station would remain the same, minus the "geek factor."
Cascadia FM
Cort and Fatboy briefly recorded podcasts at Errorfm.com, then jumped to PDX.FM (since rebranded as Cascadia FM), shortly after its cancellation on KUFO. The show's website now has links to their podcast, which airs every Monday through Friday on the Portland-based internet talk radio station.
In addition to guests involved in area businesses and events, along with actors including 's Katee Sackhoff, the show has a series of regular guests that work in other areas of Portland media. Local journalist and podcaster Aaron Duran typically appears on Mondays. Filmmaker and author David Walker co-hosts on Tuesdays. Courtenay Hameister, a filmmaker, writer and a host on Live Wire Radio, appears on Wednesdays with Portland-area blogger and local "man about town" Byron Beck covering Thursdays. The Oregonian movie reviewer and cartoonist Mike Russell co-hosts on Fridays.
Screenings at the Bagdad Theater
For several years, Webber and Roberts have hosted a series of monthly film screenings at the Bagdad Theater in Portland. The selections tend to be movies from the 1980s and 1990s, including Dirty Dancing, Independence Day, The Lost Boys and The Big Lebowski. The duo, along with several of their regular guests, record DVD-style commentaries for each month's movie, which are posted on the Cort and Fatboy website a few days prior to each screening. Some fans transfer the recordings to their mp3 players and listen to them while watching the films at the Bagdad, which the hosts encourage. In addition, Webber and Roberts spearheaded weekly screenings of and at the theater during their final seasons.
Prior to the hosts' December 2010 screening of the Bill Murray comedy Scrooged, their weekly guests appeared with them on stage for a lengthy presentation. The event was dubbed Faces of Meh and was later posted on the internet as a podcast.
