macronation

Etymology
Probably termed as macro- (meaning large) is an antonym of micro- (small).

Noun

 * 1) A country or sovereign nation-state, as opposed to a micronation.

Usage notes
Preferred over the use of "real country" as some micronationalists may refer to their micronations as countries. According to micropatriologist Pedro Aguiar, the usage of macro- to denote entities related to macronations is commonly used to avoid the use of the word "real", which in contrast would denote micronations as something unreal or imaginary.

Antonyms

 * micronation

Translations

 * Portuguese: macronação
