[quote=whizzball1] He says in an interview that his goal is to "exercise complete sovereignty over our country without annoying the United States Government too much, and to have a good time doing it."And in response to this question: "Legally, can Molossia be considered an independent nation?" he says:"Honestly, no. It takes a great deal of effort, time, money and especially legal wrangling to become fully independent, and we are nowhere near that point yet. No, we exist in a limbo state, at the good will of the US, and we are fine with that right now. After all, becoming independent can such a messy affair, and that would conflict with our relaxed lifestyle. We are happy to be the "country just down the road, on the left"!"So he is completely serious about this. Maybe eventually it'll actually be sovereign. There's one city in Wales that was actually established as a sovereign state in 1296 when a Welsh prince declared it a "free borough". It has never since been reclaimed.
