Today we would be talking about a micro-nation, a nation within a nation; where would be dedicated currency, their own culture, own rule. Do you want to experience it? Then go to Molossia, the micro-nation in the USA.
President of the micro-nation Kevin Baugh spent a mere $10,000 to build the nation. It is only of 1.3 acres and situated just 1 hour away from Nevada.
Molossia is actually the attraction for the tourists. Here you can find its own bank, and own currency which can be bought against the US dollars. Are you thinking that I am joking! No, these all are true.
A Nation Within Nation: If you go through the world geography, then you can find approximately 200 micro-nations in the world.
The most interesting thing is their recognition. The micro-nations are only recognized by other micro-nations, but not by the countries.
The micro-nations do not have any official designation. They have just a collection to deem them as real.
There are 22 human and 6 canine citizens in Molossia. And also note that the human citizens are all Americans.
However, if you start living in Molossia, you would be under its own rule. And the rule is real.
Dictatorship in Molossia: Yes it is true that this tiny nation is run by the dictatorship; however, according to the President there should be an honest dictator to rule the country.
But we can tell that the dictatorship is not in the iron fist, rather it is in the velvet hand.
Many times he takes the suggestions from the First Lady of Molossia, his wife Adiane; and his 11 year daughter who is the chief constable of Molossia; but at the end of all Baugh takes the ultimate decision. At the end it happens what he says.
Molossia Specific Laws: There are some fun laws which are only for the micro-nation.
Some items like spinach, tobacco, catfish etc. are not allowed here.
The people have to wear proper dress. According to the President, the dress up should be proper to impress others.
According to the report, this micro-nation has 25 holidays. Everything is present there. It is a special nation...

Molossia is a tourist attraction that I highly recommend! It's a little off the beaten path, but it's well worth the visit. I've been there four times from 2009 - 2017 and each visit has seen the country grow and improve. If possible, try to visit around Founder's Day (in late May) because President Baugh hosts a large event with food and entertainment to celebrate the country's Anniversary.
The Trans-Molossian Trail is one of my favorite parts because it is fairly unchanged from the late 1990s. Molhenge, the Pet Cemetery, and Helicopter Rock are all highlights of the trail.
The President's Office is a truly awesome place as well. It's stocked with all kinds of micronational memorabilia that you can study for...
