It used to be on OSM a couple of years ago, but the node now seems to have been deleted. Originally it was absurd: it was marked as a country so it had this huge label on the map that gave it greater prominence than anywhere else for hundreds of miles. Having put some more realistic tags on it, it was fine, so I don't know why it went altogether. It isn't a nation just because the perverse individual who happens to live there claims it is, but it's reasonable enough to mark it as an ex-military installation of some kind or maybe even residential, but no, not a country.
