Something tells me that the type of man that leads a “micronation” is “micro” in many other ways as well. Kevin Baugh received national attention over the weekend when he was interviewed by Insider, who were forced to refer to him as “Your Excellency”. He claims to be a “benevolent dictator” to about 35 people that he rules over on their acre. To Baugh’s credit, he has gone where no man has gone before by asking himself, “what if the Family Guy episode where Peter ran his own country was real life?”
The Republic of Molossia sits in Northern Nevada and seems like a perfect place to hide from your gambling debts once you’ve run out of money on the strip. Baugh claims that the civilians of his nation have “dual-citizenship” with America, but I think we’re building The Wall in the wrong spot. I think the one border that needs to be secured is the border along the Northern Nevada desert.
For more information on their “unique” currency, timezone, and a bunch of other stuff that will annoy you, Insider has you covered. In the meantime, we will be over here, in reality.
