Nov 14, 2009: Molossia
| 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.

Please note: The Republic of Molossia bears no relation to the ancient Greek nation of the same name. May 26th, 1977 I - Founded as the Grand Republic of Vuldstein near Portland, Oregon.

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?
Sperlock Saturday Nov 14 11:56 AM
Some people have way too much free time.

They're in your neighborhood, aren't they Sperlock?
Gravdigr Saturday Nov 14 03:35 PM
Is Sperlock referring to them or us?
Sperlock Saturday Nov 14 06:30 PM
I'm referring to them, and yeah, they are relatively close to me. I could probably be there in under an hour.

| The Government of the Republic of Molossia is proud to introduce our new First Lady, Adrianne Marie McFitzhenry Boubacar DiBianca. Mme. Adrianne is the consort of His Excellency, The President. The President met Mme. Adrianne a month ago, on 21 September 2009 XXXII, and was immediately taken with her. Shortly thereafter, His Excellency asked Mme. Adrianne to be his companion, elevating her to the position of First Lady just a few short days later, an honor Mme. Adrianne readily accepted. |

IIRC, there is a rule at Cambridge that all professors must be in residence at all times, except very limited leave holidays. It being impossible to do this in the modern academic world with conferences and furloughs etc, they got around it by declaring that Cambridge university is present wherever a Cambridge professor is. So I have, threfore, visited Cambridge.
