Fun Size Countries: The Insane Histories of the World's 6 Tiniest Nations

Sark.

Imagine one day that your dog returns home with a cat on a leash, and the cat has a little mouse on a leash too. Let's all imagine that, because it's really, really cute when you think about it. Oh, before we forget, Sark is the mouse. Sark is a dependency of the Bailiwick of Guernsey (another place you know nothing about), which in turn is a dependency of England (which you might have heard of), which in turn is part of the United Kingdom (you might know it as UK), even though Guernsey and Sark are not part of the UK and we have no clue how that works [...]

Ah, after reading about Sark, I was expecting them all to be serious...

But the part about Sark is funny enough on itself, anyway.

the people of Sark showed their bravery in 1991 when the French attacked them. And by "the French" we mean unemployed French nuclear physicist Andre Gardes, who tried to take over the island by himself with an automatic weapon. The invasion ended when the local constable approached him and asked him how his awesome gun worked. Andre began to show him and that's when the fire brigade jumped from behind (source: Wikipedia).

They're kidding right?

No, it's 100% true. We at the OT are planning to try it again but with a lot more troops and found the Great Sarkastic Empire.

I checked, but I couldn't find any confirmation of the fire brigade part.

Sealand is as independant as your backyard.

No, it has been recognised by the British courts to be not a part of Britain.

How can I make my own Micro country?

 

[taper]

The guys at work and I decided we're going to break off part of our state and form the 51st(it's legal, if you can get enough votes in the state). We'd have very lax business laws, become a data haven, and since we'd all take turns being in Congress, after a few years we'd all have full Congressional pension for life. Living the Good Life.

First, you must have an area. I suggest an artificial island in international waters as territorial integrity principles make your life difficult otherwise. Then you need to get some other people to form your country and take care of relations to other countries. (can't do all that yourself) After that, declare independence and wait some random gang of thugs to conquer your country.

I have 60 acres in Northern California. Would that work?
