Austenasia, also known as the self-proclaimed Empire of Austenasia, is a micronation founded in 2008 in the United Kingdom.

Operating under the constitutional monarchy of its fourth Emperor, Jonathan I, it consists of dozens of properties that have declared themselves independent under the leadership of a house in the London Borough of Sutton.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
