→An Atlas of Countries That Don't Exist. Wrote by geographer Nick Middleton, it is a selection of 46 strange countries that also include some micronations of this blog. It is divided in continents, and it speaks in less than one page of each country. Some countries that appear are Antarctica, Cocos Islands, Somaliland, Lubicon, Lakota, Pontinha, Sealand, Seborga or Akhzivland.
→An Atlas of Extinct Countries. Wrote by Gideon Defoe, it really is an artwork. Even if the name sounds similar as Middleton's book, it speaks about other 48 countries (well, I think nine or ten are in both books, but written differently) that have disappeared. It is REALLY HUMOROUS, and it is great to read. It includes countries like Yugoslavia, Corsica, Baviera, Tanger, Sikkim, Goust, Free State of Bottleneck, Rough & Ready, Dahomey or the Maternity Ward of the Metropolitan Hospital of Ottawa.
