MicroWiki is a free online encyclopedia maintained by volunteers using a wiki-based editing system. MicroWiki defines itself as "the largest encyclopaedia about micronations".

As of December 2020 there are over 115,000 articles on MicroWiki. The Independent remarked that the encyclopedia was a thorough resource, stating that several articles on micronations were longer than those of real-world nations on Wikipedia.

Hayward and Khamis stated in an academic journal for Shima that many of the micronations featured on the wiki are in fact virtual entities which exist solely as listings on the encyclopedia. They opted to describe the website as a 'fantasy gaming service' where 'players' could interact with other 'virtual micronations'.
