Nov 14, 2009: Molossia

Quote:

The Republic of Molossia (moe-LAAHSS-eeyah) is a sovereign, independent nation, located in and completely surrounded by territory of the United States. With a total area of 9956 sRN (2.5 ha / 6.3 ac), Molossia is one of the smallest nations on earth, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in spirit. A sense of humor characterizes most Molossian people, which, coupled with the casual and comfortable western lifestyle, makes Molossia an enjoyable place to visit.

OK, 8 people and 4 dogs on 6.3 acres in Nevada = Molossia.
Internal threat to the US? Crazy tax dodgers? Moonshiners/pot growers? Religious cult?
Don't think so, just some left over hippies having fun, and making a couple bucks selling coins, stamps, and stuff. :3eye:

I guess they gave up the commie thing, when they discovered the US would not invade, and pour millions into nation building foreign aid.

I love micronations. A friend of mine has declared the interior of his car to be an independent nation. He figures that if he ever gets a ticket, the paperwork will constitute an implicit recognition of its status.

I have found my people.

Do they have snacks, do you think?

Some people have way too much free time.

They're in your neighborhood, aren't they Sperlock?

Is Sperlock referring to them or us?

I'm referring to them, and yeah, they are relatively close to me. I could probably be there in under an hour.

I have an entire Oligarchy in my pants. Souvenir pictures are free.

Either that, or when the first Barnes and Noble opened up in their country they bought a dictionary and discovered that Sovereignty and Communism don't exactly go hand in hand.

The first lady has ample bosom!:eek:

Yeah, but our First Lady has toned arms and fashion sense. :lol:

Our first lady is smart and classy and beautiful! Plus, she has toned arms and fashion sense!

;)

I was thinking of this.
