- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -8/+218This is straight out of an episode of "Family Guy," I think.
- dondara, on 07/04/2008, -8/+145"And nothing from Texas."
He's not all bad. - ConanTL, on 07/04/2008, -5/+104No walruses? He must have mah bukkit!
- eliot2000, on 07/04/2008, -3/+99What is it with dictators and the fake military uniforms? Is it easier to rule with an iron fist when you look like a douchebag?
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+91Almost forgot to post the actual story: http://www.chicagotribune.com/travel/chi-micronati ...
- colleenmcmahon, on 07/03/2008, -0/+74Who hasn't wanted to form their own country with specific rules? This is too much. I love the little uniform.
- screamthenrun, on 07/04/2008, -0/+73I don't think you'll have much of a problem conquering him. Although he does use the word "we" quite a bit... so he could have an army hiding somewhere...
- hollywoodphony, on 07/03/2008, -1/+74The land there has to be like 30 cents an acre and he only has 1.3? He probably spent more on his uniform or the dummy to man the customs booth.
- olddirtycr, on 07/04/2008, -2/+73It's simply amazing how obvious it is that 80% of the comments on here were posted by people who didn't watch the video or read the article
- aresef, on 07/04/2008, -1/+62I've got diplomatic immunity, so Hammer you can't sue.
- bronowiczj, on 07/04/2008, -4/+64PETORIA!?
- dakuda, on 07/04/2008, -0/+60Yes he does, it says so in the article. He calls it 'foreign aid'.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -8/+6550 theoretical dollars says he's a welfare recipient.
- savethejets, on 07/04/2008, -0/+55Colbert should do something on mollosian/ US border security.
- BMR777, on 07/04/2008, -1/+53Not only do they have a customs booth, but they also have a Navy (canoes), Space Program (Model Rockets) and Railroad (Toy Trains). I'm serious.

Off Topic: I wonder what their extradition treaty with the RIAA is like? Can you get away with copyright infringement by claiming you are part of a sovereign nation? I think probably not, but it would make for a funny court case. :) - specialK16, on 07/04/2008, -0/+48"He also is careful to say that he pays his taxes, which he refers to as "foreign aid." "
Ha, that's fantastic. - madk, on 07/04/2008, -0/+47Who is up for a flash mob water gun and balloon assault?
- Grimdotdotdot, on 07/04/2008, -2/+48Haha yeah! Who'd have thought of just making their own country on American soil?
Oh, yeah. Whoops. Five months until Thanksgiving, eh? - kvetchingeditor, on 07/03/2008, -1/+45This is awesome! I want to go there ... do I need a tourist visa?
- Grimdotdotdot, on 07/04/2008, -0/+39I'll take that bet!
FTA: ""Welcome to Molossia!" called Baugh, who during the week works as a human resources recruiter"
T$50, please. Put them in my theoretical bank account. - minnymoo, on 07/04/2008, -0/+39yeah, i could've swore there was a man hiding behind the fountain.
- twinklyJesus, on 07/04/2008, -1/+39He only has one country.
- pwr4, on 07/04/2008, -0/+37Is he going to send any athletes to Beijing to represent Molossia in the Olympics?
- faatbuddha, on 07/04/2008, -0/+35Just throw in some onions and cigarettes and he'll probably surrender.
- palewook, on 07/04/2008, -1/+35Petoria
- mathew_bug, on 07/04/2008, -0/+28If you love the uniform you'll love Molossia's Ministers: http://www.molossia.org/generalinfo.html
ROFL, anyone? - BNSF9647, on 07/04/2008, -5/+32Do you find their address ironic in the least bit??

226 Mary Lane,
Dayton, NV 89403 - humanerror, on 07/04/2008, -1/+27This aggression against Petoria will not stand
- Brocclibob, on 07/04/2008, -1/+26Some guy up North in Western Australia did this, except he took it so much further (though, his was less a country and more a province)

Freaking legend. - jester55, on 07/04/2008, -0/+24you know that you would want to walk around like that and demand to be called "his excellency".
- tcpip4lyfe, on 07/04/2008, -2/+26I bet he still pays American income tax.
- Steinr, on 07/04/2008, -0/+24All good and fine but can we put a bittorrent server there without the fear of prosecution?
- yoshagogo, on 07/04/2008, -8/+31Steal his countries oil
- foofiejnooner, on 07/04/2008, -2/+22no because he specifically said his country is a micronation that is not recognized by the usa
- mbauer14, on 07/04/2008, -1/+19he should definitely annex joe's pool.
- twinklyJesus, on 07/04/2008, -0/+18We have completely eliminated the need for cough oil, so your fears are groundless.
- STARTSOMETHING, on 07/04/2008, -0/+16So if i stole his tv, in his country, our country couldn't do anything right?
- DragonForce4, on 07/04/2008, -0/+16and a walrus
- MOJIRA, on 07/04/2008, -0/+16Well played Jesus, well played.
- EvilJelloMan, on 07/04/2008, -1/+17He's not a nutjob, and in fact the "game" started when he was a kid playing pretend. Read the linked text article and it's pretty clear its two parts fun and one part political statement.
- neurobox, on 07/04/2008, -0/+15Hey.. a country of one could still be a democracy, you know.
- badwithcomputer, on 07/04/2008, -2/+17first thing i thought of too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Peterbus_Unum - twinklyJesus, on 07/04/2008, -2/+15Look up "the Republic of Sealand" notice where it is and then ask that question again with a straight face.
- olddirtycr, on 07/04/2008, -1/+14Watch the movie you asshats. He says its all in good fun.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+12We were thinking of sending a foreign correspondent there. Then again, we HAVE been cutting back.
- Agger, on 07/04/2008, -0/+12That looks bigger than Sealand
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Seala ... - JasonCox, on 07/04/2008, -2/+13I hearby declare my apartment a soverign nation and in doing so I am declaring an independence from paying my rent!
