Asking for permission to be free, yeah, that's definitely going turn out well for him!  ::)

A man who asks for permission to be allowed to become sovereign has no chance of becoming sovereign until he understands why this is madness.

I wanna meet this guy.

He has a space program (a model rocket), a currency (pegged to the value of chocolate-chip cookie dough), a railroad (model size), a national sport (broomball) and -- in his landlocked desert region -- a navy (an inflatable boat).

He's one funny guy. http://www.molossia.org/war/index.html
I suppose he has trained squirrels as his infantry too.

In the discussion section of the article, somebody wrote the following:

Someone needs to tell him to ditch the chocolate chip cookies and go with bitcoins.....

I would have suggested Bitechips, working my way up to Bitcoin, simply because I fear the Molossia Navy. How would you feel if some whippersnapper came along and wanted you to replace your currency with a superior one? Thus, it's best to do it one bite at a time. I suggest we visit Molossia under the guise of a Holiday, but what we'll be doing is eating his cookies to cause deflation in his currency... Let me rethink this!

Heh, you can watch the movie on thatguywiththeglasses.com, although it probably won't be that entertaining unless you're already a fan of the site and its characters.

Not even the Great Republic of Rough and Ready lasted that long. It was a break away nation in Nevada that happened because of some mining taxes. Once the neighboring city refused to sell alcohol to the break away city, they rejoined the Union.

Perhaps the Earl of Sandwich (Bruno of Sandwich doesn't sound as cool) will recognize Forgotonia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgottonia).

If Obama can recognize Syrian rebels, then why not?

Because the Syrian Rebels like the Libyan Rebels are likely supported by the Americans.
