MPI
he Micronational Potential Index (MPI) was created by David Salapa in order to rank and evaluate the micronations which are 6 months or less and would most likely have a very low score on the Dresner System of Classification. The system takes on a light-hearted and optimistic walk-through-style attitude and has some messages of encouragement for those with scores of 0 on one or more grades. The scoring is as follows:
I. Population (Excluding website members)
0. Micronation is online. But that could change.
1. Yourself.
2. 2 to 5 people.
3. 6 to 10 people.
4. 11 to 15 people.
5. 16 and up.
II. Website activeness
0. Micronation has no website...yet. But keep an eye on it!
1. One forum post or comment every 2 weeks.
2. One forum post or comment every 10 days.
3. One forum post or comment every 7 days.
4. One forum post or comment every 4 days.
5. One forum post or comment every 36 hours.
III. Diplomacy
0. Micronation has no allies. It just needs to work itself out first.
1. 1 or 2 allies.
2. 3 or 4 allies.
3. 5 or 6 allies.
4. 7 or 8 allies.
5. 9 allies and up.
IV. Sphere of Influence (M-D equals Mark-Dresner equivalent on their same category)
0. Relatively unknown outside of the creator's immediate vicinity. That's bound to change.
1. Not known outside an extremely limited area online.
2. Somewhat unknown or widely ignored. (M-D 1)
3. Known by some micronations, but not really popular. (M-D 1.5)
4. Known inside the micronational community but not seen as the most successful or popular micronation. (M-D 2)
5. Known by people and throughout the micronational Internet. (M-D 2.5)
V. Basic Information
0. Has a name only. That's a start, though!
1. Has a flag.
2. Has a flag and anthem.
3. Has both of those, a coat of arms, and a motto.
4. Has all four of those and a national language and religion.
5. Has all six of those and another informational category, such as a patron saint or national sport.
Grading
0-0.9: You've just started, right? That's okay. The points won't all come in one day. Give it time and effort and you will rise.
1-1.9: If your micronation is 1 month old, you're right on track. Keep going!
2-2.9: Your micronation should be around 2.5 months old. You are doing an excellent job so far and hopefully you haven't lost interest in your country. Press on!
3-3.9: Your micronation should be around 4 months old and if it is it has developed quite a lot. Eventually you'll be ready to move on.
4-4.9: Is your micronation 5 or 5.5 months old? If so you're almost ready to move on! It's okay if you don't make the final grade, you'll still be able to proceed.
5.0: Congratulations! You are now fully prepared to move on. Once you get here or reach 6 months old, you should stop using this system and move on to the much harsher Mark-Dresner System. Good luck!

Re: MPI
Two main problems: like-minded people often don't live anywhere near each other, and secondly, the personalities of the people who participate in this hobby (in my humbly view) often make them lovely people to hang out with, eat a meal and have a drink with, but in all likelihood terrible people to have to work with.Senya wrote:Considering that classification system is for new nations, Senya scores 5 in every category, with the exception of Web Activeness. Mind, real life meeting are waaaaaaaay better than forums.
