That depends on your political opinion. Technically, they are, as they have all the things needed to be a country; population, land, a flag, etc. The only thing that makes them different from the regular nations of the world is that no one recognizes them.
Generally it could be said that any micronations with actual land territory are real countries.
According to the declarative theory of statehood, for a state to be considered a sovereign entity, it must meet four criteria as follows: the state must have land, a permanent population, a government, and a capacity to enter into relations with other states. According to the Montevideo Convention, a state's sovereignty is not defined by another state's recognition or lack thereof. For example, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK; North Korea) does not recognize the Republic of Korea (ROK; South Korea) and vice versa. Another example is a similar situation between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC; Taiwan).
However, an exeption to the four criteria is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which has no territory, yet is recognized by over 100 states.
Micronations such as the Principality of Sealand and the Free Republic of Liberland debatably meet the four criterion, but are not yet recognized by any other state other than other micronations.
In light of all this, the answer is probably best found in a statement by Swiss statement: "neither a political unit needs to be recognized to become a state, nor does a state have the obligation to recognize another one. At the same time, neither recognition is enough to create a state, nor does its absence abolish it."
