Modern Sirocco might only be four years old, but it's got history stretching back over a decade. When this is taken into consideration, Sirocco is one of the oldest members of the MicroWiki community of micronations, and there's plenty of things that have gone on over the years.
Sirocco and its ancestors are grouped into what are called the 'Maranite nations', or nations that came into being from the Maran District in the early to mid-2000s. Yet despite this, only Sirocco was established with the express intention of being a micronation - the others only gained this classification in hindsight.

Where do you want to begin?
A quasi-local authority and a kingdom ruled by a cat. It sounds like an odd mix, and it was. But between 2002 and 2007, these two nations formed something of a foundation for Sirocco to build on, and like an embarrassing high school year book, became something to giggle at and wonder what we were thinking.

Conducting nearly all of its business online (and on a fictional planet), the Glorious Dictatorial Republic of Andersonia (GDR for short) became a large and powerful player in its community before dormancy kicked in in the second half of 2010.

Established in late 2010 to replace the GDR, Sirocco has gone further and done more than all its predecessors combined - and it's only just getting started.
