Ione, officially known as the Lordship of Ione, is a new cultural project and self-proclaimed independent nation-state, commonly referred to as a micronation by external observers. It lays claim to territory in Europe and is governed as an absolute monarchy. Ione is considered the smallest nation in the world and is entirely surrounded by the Netherlands on all sides.
The territory of Ione was originally gifted to Shady Morsi in 2017 as part of a garden development project by the local landowners, effectively making it private land under Morsi's ownership. Realizing the unique status of the land, Morsi declared the independence of Ione in 2025, establishing it as the spiritual successor to Morsi’s first micronation, Shadyvinkenstein., Ione’s capital and administrative center, draws inspiration from historic and modern city-states such as San Marino, Singapore, Vatican City, and Monaco. Ione's mainland is characterized by a natural landscape dominated by shrubs, grasses, herbs, and geophytes, contributing to its distinct ecological identity. As a developing micronation, Ione scores 1.6 on Dresner's System of Classification, categorizing it as a "7th World" micronation. It stands out among other micronations by maintaining 100% control over its claimed territory, a rarity in the micronational community.
Ione is not a secessionist entity but is considered a remnant of feudalism in the Endegeest area. It acknowledges King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands as its suzerain while maintaining its distinct cultural and administrative identity.
Despite its small size, Ione aspires to foster a unique cultural identity, blending historical traditions with contemporary governance concepts. The Lordship promotes ecological preservation, sustainable development, and a spirit of micronationalism, distinguishing itself as a sovereign entity in the growing world of independent microstates.

This system ensures continuity while granting each Lord the power to shape the future leadership of Ione.
