Micronations/List of already existing micronations/Aynvaul
Aynvaul, officially the Micronational Government of High Aynvaul, is a micronation on Long Island, New York in the United States of America[1][2] and was among several micronations listed as attending Microcon 2017. [3] Its identity is based on the local Irish diaspora and Irish-American community also located on the island, to which the two could be synonymous according to 'the Aynvaul Community' Facebook page. In this case, the Aynvauls would be an subethnicity of Irish America located on Long Island. It is the oldest continuous micronation located on Long Island, having been founded some time in 2006.[4]
The Micronational Government serves as a ceremonial entity inside a larger open community with members using the identity to express a more revivalistic connection to their Irish-American roots. Its Flag is also used as a show of support for the local revival of the Irish language and culture.
