Most people don't know that eastern Milwaukee is it's own nation. It's true! In December 1979, a 13-year-old student named Robert Ben Madison peacefully broke off from the United States. Since then, the nation has flourished into it's own culture and even has its own language! It has become the model for so many other micronations and is currently the most popular and most populous of them. From the official food of the nation (Taco Bell) to the strange, overly accented Glhetg Talossán (Talossan Language) to the supposed Berber Project, the nation has acquired a distinct and beautiful culture on the shore of Lake Michigan, and this nation deserves to be put into the Civ III expansion pack!

On 26 December 1979 Robert Ben Madison, a 13-year old high school student in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, declared his bedroom to be an independent sovereign state: the Kingdom of Talossa. He took the Throne as King Robert I. Beginning in 1981, other people were admitted to the RT (Regipäts Talossán; Kingdom of Talossa) as citizens. Democratic elections began in 1981 and the country became a constitutional monarchy in 1985. After a period of crisis in 1986-1988 over who should be King, a new Constituziun was written in late 1988. The 1997 Organic Law was approved as the country's new constitution by a public referendum. It further develops the democratic nature of Talossa.
Since 1979 Madison has continued in a prominent role, as King and as a leading light in the Progressive Conservative Party, but other citizens have also assumed prominent roles. Indeed, the Organic Law now prohibits the King from holding the chief offices of political power in Talossa.

P.S. This post is not to be taken seriously. It is just a satirical work to show people that a case CAN be made for nearly everything that even remotely resembles a culture, and that an expansion pack cannot possibly come anywhere close to representing every distinct culture and history, or even those most 'important' ones, however you define an important culture.

32 civs and non of them a micronation? That's unacceptable! 
But Sealand should also be included:
