The Joseon Cybernation, known officially as the Joseon Empire, or colloquially referred to as Joseon, is a non-territorial country with limited recognition. The country was self-proclaimed in 2022 by American businessman Andrew Lee after he was adopted by Yi Seok, a pretender to the House of Yi, which ruled over the Joseon kingdom and the Korean Empire. The Joseon Cybernation has no physical territory, and is a "cloud-based, blockchain-backed kingdom" that exists only in cyberspace. In 2023, the country was officially recognized by the government of Antigua and Barbuda, granting it limited diplomatic recognition and distinguishing it from a micronation.
