So what is the theoretical population limit for a micron-nation?


About 1e-12, assuming the density limit is about one person per square meter, and a micron nation is about one square micrometer.


I guess it depends roughly on how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. (A micron is a micrometre, which is a thousandth of a millimetre.)


That's a hard point. What if the micron-nation is inhabited entirely by selfless individuals?
