place=micro_principality ?

or add a population=5 tag (or whatever they claim), and adjust the
renderers to ignore countries where population is specified and
smaller than 10000 (or render them as you would a town etc).

place=artificial_platform_with_questionable_claim_to_principality_status
seems a little long-winded.
