The organiser of the Friendship Nations Group is pleased with the decision by Samizdat University to collaborate with the Democratic Republic of Aurelia on a new course relating to micropatriology (the study of micronations).

The new course is now available to group members on its Neocities site along with one other course on micronational languages. These courses are proving to be popular among Friendship Nations Group members.

The new course on micropatriology is presented in video format and examines several aspects of micronations and micronationalism, including some of the theories behind this phenomenon.

The new course includes a test and a personalised certificate from Samizdat University for those students who achieve a 50% pass rate. Samizdat University hopes to produce more courses on micronational subjects in the future.
