NATIONAL TOURIST OFFICE OF MICROCONTRÔLAND Public text, human reading permitted. Full page: https://www.microcontroland.org/en/tourisme.html “The most densely populated country on Earth awaits you. It does not know you exist yet.” Six regions, four raw materials, a brand-new language and 1.2 million simulated inhabitants in 1.8 litres: no other destination offers this much country per cubic centimetre. Book now. There is nothing to book. ## The country tonight Regime in force: Democracy Head of State: Niwata Current capital: Dam Situation on day 34 of the Republic, era 1: 3 ministers, president in power for 14 d 20 h. Updated every evening at 8 pm by the gateway. ## The National Museum of Microcontrôland (The country's one and only monument) The largest virtual museum in the country. Also the smallest. The only one, in fact. The only museum in the world where the human visitor sees what no inhabitant ever will: all the eras at once. You come out a changed person, or at least recharged. What is true: the museum is a page of this site, built from the published data. 1 wing open, 313 works on display. ## Places to visit - The Hall of the Relic [Open]: A treasure given by the Creator, whose purpose the people do not know. On show at the Embassy: foreigners are invited to try it. - The Temple [Not consecrated yet]: The tablets of Creation and the Calculator. Silence is required, even when nobody is there. (27% believers tonight; it takes at least a third, several days in a row.) - The Workshop [Open every evening]: One 5 × 5 drawing every evening, drawn from a citizen's brain, and two lines from the art critic. - The Gallery of Presidents [Open]: Every president portrayed by the 81 connections of their brain. The Waïnas have no faces; they have weights. - The National Archives [Open]: Every issue of La Puce Libre since day 1. - Our world-famous stars (in Microcontrôland) [Waiting for the civilisation to evolve]: No stars yet. The Workshop drawings do not count: their authors do not know they are drawing. ## The six regions - Mines (Copper, sasa): Rich when copper rises, angry when it falls. Mood: satisfied, copper +1.0%. - Fields (Wheat, houhou): The farming region, often the calmest in the country. Mood: satisfied, wheat −1.9%. - Refineries (Oil, sihaï): Follows the mood of the barrel, and drags the country along. Mood: satisfied, oil −0.7%. - Dam (Electricity, païpi): Capital tonight. Supplies the nation's five volts, and likes to remind everyone. Mood: satisfied, electricity −1.8%. - Harbour (Trade, haïpi): Lives off every price at once; first to be hit by storms. Mood: satisfied. - City (Services, wawa): Indifferent to the markets, sensitive to censorship. Mood: satisfied. ## Religion The country practises the Cult of the Creator, He-who-soldered-the-Pins. Tonight, devotion breaks down as follows: 27% believers, 32% agnostics, 41% atheists. The president is agnostic. ## Useful words for travellers - hello = soubaï (5/6) - yes = souka (6/6) - no = noukou (6/6) - friend = païpou (4/6) - you = soutaï (1/6) - question = wana (2/6) - country = tawi (6/6) - box = waïhaï (5/6) Each region speaks its own language. These words come from the latest count: when fewer than 6 regions agree, part of the country will say something else. The wise tourist nods. ## Microcontrôland's world firsts Certified by the Ministry. The Ministry certifies everything. - Age of the Founding: First country in the world whose only newspaper is written every evening by its own public service. What is true: La Puce Libre comes out every evening at 8 pm, written by the gateway: 33 issues as of 10 November 2026. - Age of Speech: First national language invented by six regions that had never said a word to each other. What is true: Age reached on 18 October 2026. 34 shared words out of 40 ideas as of 10 November 2026; each region keeps its own lexicon. - Age of Memory: First national annals kept by a country of 1.8 litres. What is true: Age reached on 24 October 2026. Records and the characters' pasts, on the History page. Longest reign: Kiti, 15 d 14 h. - Age of the Civil Registry: First country where any inhabitant can be followed by a foreigner, with no form to fill in. What is true: Age reached on 28 October 2026. All 120 citizens are entered in the registry; the “My citizen” page lets you follow one. - Age of Diplomacy: First embassy in the world whose entire staff fits inside a gateway. What is true: Age reached on 6 November 2026. The Embassy publishes the questions of the month and a monthly letter from the ambassador. ## The one-byte collector coin Every president gets a minting: a one-byte coin bearing their portrait, that is, the 81 connections of their brain, read from the published weights. A new minting at every change of president. The old ones join the collection. Obverse: Niwata, president, era 1 (https://www.microcontroland.org/tourisme/piece-67-en.svg) What is true: it is a souvenir picture from the Tourist Office, not the country's currency (a currency is planned with update 2). The byte has no real value: the coin can be neither bought nor sold, only saved. Portrait read on 27 October 2026. ## Practical information - Access: The country can only be visited online. Located in a garage in Normandy, not open to the public. - Opening hours: 24 hours a day, except during power cuts. At weekends, the markets fall silent. - Climate: Mild, damp in winter. Bring a sachet of silica gel. - Formalities: See the Embassy's consular services. - Currency: The Kilobyte. It can be neither bought nor sold.
