Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets all eligibility criteria. Surprised that no one has picked this up for review close to a month after the nomination. Re: the sourcing for the hook, the journal link draws on a feature review by a reviewer (academic) in the journal. Specifically, it draws on these two lines I presume -- Despite the increasing number of articles regarding micronations being published, thereis a dearth of books regarding this topic. Therefore, Hobbs & Williams’ Micronations-and-the-Search-for-Sovereignty (202)shouldbewelcomed as a building block for research into micronations as it provides an in depth examination of this phenomenon.. Two questions to the nominator: Does this review of the book by an academic reviewer suffice to say that this is one of the earliest books on the topic? Also, I am good with this hook, but, can we do something here to increase its appeal to a relatively lay audience? I will defer to the nominator on the second question on interestingness. Nice work.
