Mindanao sector (Arabic: قطاع مينداناو, Qitae Mindanaw; Cebuano: Sektor sa Mindanao; Filipino: Sektor ng Mindanao) is a term used to categorize micronations that are bounded by and located within the island group of Mindanao in the Philippines. This term was first coined by the Kingdom of Arlandica on May 21, 2023. However, micronations started emerging on the island around 2015, and there are also micronations based outside the island that have established colonies in Mindanao.

Terminology

The term “Mindanao Sector” was created in mid-2023 by the lawmakers of the Council of State of Arlandica. It straightforwardly refers to the sector within the Philippine Micronational Community that encompasses the island of Mindanao. This term is applied to micronations whose main territories are fully located in Mindanao and its nearby islands.

History

It is still undetermined which micronation was the first in Mindanao. However, Vilasia, Sabah and Mindanao SSR (Sunda Raya), and Curimae are among the micronations that emerged between 2010 and 2015.

Around 2018, the Metropolitan Electorate of Fidelis was established, led by Prince-Elector Rameses Casten. It was described as a politically advanced micronation. Fidelis gained recognition from foreign micronations in that year; however, the micronation subsequently transferred its administration to Manila.

Since that year, the number of micronations in Mindanao has been on the decline. This decline includes the dissolution of Mindanao DSPR, Sunda Raya, and Fidelis.

There was no official term to classify micronations in Mindanao. However, on May 21, 2023, the Arlandican government declared the usage of the term “Mindanao sector” to refer to the existing micronations in Mindanao.

Notes

↑ The Democratic Socialist People's Republic of Mindanao, abbreviated as Mindanao DSPR, was a micronation situated solely in Mindanao, with a presence in North America. It maintained its activity primarily on Facebook. Mindanao DSPR should not be confused with Sunda Raya's Sabah and Mindanao SSR.
