The article discusses chrematonyms, a category of proper names, found on the Polish websites of micronations. It employs the so-called broad definition of chrematonym, therefore it focuses, among others, on: titles of national anthems (for example “Wielka Sarmacjo” / “The Great Sarmatia”), magazines (for example Kurier Cesarski / Imperial Daily), names of organizations and associations, names of artistic groups (for example Śnięty Leszcz / Dead Bream), denominations, parties, ministries, companies, restaurants (for example Sarmajadło / Sarmafood), and liquors (for example Paradoxal). The founders of micronations aim at attracting the largest number of netizens who can actively participate in building the Internet community. The names the visitors find most interesting are grotesque (for example Różowy Kościół Bravogirla / The Pink BravoGirl Church), humorous (Order Muchomora / The Order of the Toadstool), and foreign ones (Taaluma, Bongo’s Casino). They also like word-plays in which they can identify onyms and define their intertextual functions (see chrematonyms on the Free Republic of Winktown’s website.

This article aims at givng a brief description of the Gagauz people in the areas of Bessarabia and Bulgaria. Gaugazes are a group of elusive people, whose origin seems to be obscure because of only indirect written sources. While in Bulgaria, their old country, Gagauzes maintain Bulgarian identity in addition to their own, in Bessarabia they are a distinct ethnic category. Gaugazes probably can be a micronation, by modern standards. If we consider their culture (spiritual and material), also their history and geography of settlement, they can be categorized as a Slavonic micronation. Nevertheless, their language and origins seem to be non-Slavic.
