Lighthouse, officially the Lighthouse City State is a nation occupying the westernmost island of the Skerry Isles. It is bordered by Nova England to the east. The city state controls the western half of the island, which is locally known as Pharos.

The Lighthouse is one of the oldest structures on Micras and has been in semi-continual existence since the earliest days of the Micronational Cartography Society. It has been built and destroyed several times, the source of at least one major war, and finally moved to its present location. Originally established as a condominium between the United Baronies of Treesia and the Republic of Baracao, it has long been a catalyst of conflict between those two states, and later between Treesia and the Kingdom of Babkha. Its founding as a condominium allowed the city state to become a fusion of several large micronational cultures; combined with an attractive laissez-faire style government, this allowed Lighthouse to prosper and become an economic haven, albeit temporarily.
