I’d have a couple of options:
Most Serene Federal Republic of Montmartre
This republic, retroactively dated to 1636, encompasses the Theater District in the borough of Manhattan, in New York City. In the late 1970s, a dispute between Montmartre's founder and New York Telephone, over whether the micronation could be listed in the government pages of the phone book, ended up in front of the New York Public Service Commission. The commission vacillated, alternately issuing rulings in favour of each party, and listings for the republic did appear in at least a few editions of the New York Telephone book.
All of life is basically a series of interlocking musicals, and I’d aim for some ministerial position. I’d like to work for the Idina Menzel administration.
Nation of Pacifica/Cascadia
This one isn’t on the Wikipedia page for some reason, but it’s a pretty active concept.
It’s basically the west coast states and territories, ranging from British Columbia to Baja California, with the idea of being some contiguous subset of those areas. I’d just want to make sure it includes the Bay Area and LA.
Cascadia/Pacifica would be my choice, I'm already in the borders of either one, and economically either would be a powerful nation, with decent politics
Also you can't just make your own micronation wherever you want. It has to already exist.
This kind of makes the concept of a micronation useless. The point is that anyone can make their own nation with their own rules wherever they are or go. If you have to pick someone else's, then it's no different than picking someone else's recognized nation.
Does the vatican count? I'd get into the archives and make it my lifes work to find all the secrets.
Plus it's pretty cool there, there's people who do spend their lives there, and always visitors from round the world to hang out with.
Vatican is an internationally recognized city state and does not count.
Technically so is sealand though, the UK and Germany both had to recognise it at different points
Not currently recognized though, so it still counts
The closest to me AFAIK is Sealand, but I'd rather not, tbh. I do actually have a passport from Waveland, declared as part of a Greenpeace campaign some years back and based on Rockall, but also not too appealing as a long-term residence.
At one site that I lived and worked on for several years, we discussed declaring unilateral independence on several occasions. It was a shingle spit nature reserve and seemed a promising location, but we never did. Well, not so far.
Overall, the Free Borough of Llanrwst looks a good bet. I have been there and definitely enjoy the area.
Luxembourg is awesome. Easy pick
That's not a micronation.
Luxembourg is not a micronation
The Other World, Czech Republic: "A BDSM resort specializing in female dominance, located in a château in Černá, Žďár nad Sázavou District, claims to be an independent matriarchy."
This post is assuming I know what the fuck that is or what one is. I choose Petoria
I visited Molossia a while ago, dude was awesome and super friendly. Plus the weather in Molossia is always perfect, although with the close borders with Nevada sometimes the bad weather from the US bleeds in.
Monaco, no brainer.
Never seen so many bucks per square meter.
You'll starve to death sorrounded by cheap food that cost a thousand euros to look at.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%C3%A0s#Principality_of_La%C3%A0s
Being in a temperate part of France sounds pretty great, especially if I got a room in Chateau de Láas.
Are there any good ones? Am I allowed to launch a coup?
You can launch a coup.

As long as I can have satellite internet and have supplies delivered, I'm picking the Kingdom of Redonda.
The one with the fastest internet.
Can I afford it if I choose some place like Monaco?
No guarantees on money but you can't leave. Also Monaco doesn't count because it's a city state and is internationally recognized.
K fine, SeaLand but it better have internet and proper food. Also I'm bringing my pets and Imma need AmazonPrime and all the credit I can eat
Does the Vatican count?
I was awarded the Royal Decoration of Saint Michael the Archangel from the Principality of Kaharagia, so that would be my first choice, since I’m a Lady. Last I knew they were still looking for land, though, so that may be out.
~~Second choice is Monaco.~~
e: didn’t realise Monaco is officially recognised.
In that case, The Republic of Saugeais.

Pitcairn
Do you like inbreeding and sexual abuse?
Not really, but it wouldn't be inbreeding if I'm an immigrant there (by definition). I take the second thing with a grain of history; before the UK decimated the place by issuing a war draft and taking everyone to go fight in WWII, it had as many people as a regular small American town, and what followed was a chain of sensationalism.
Seborga! Been there often.
New Freeland.
The Republic of Jämtland, very nice place. I even have friends there.
Black Rock City
Queen Victoria island if it counts, farthest island from land
The Grand Duchy of Pikeland!
Probably Sealand.
