Hence the large number of people with the surname 'Christian' - descendants of Fletcher Christian.

A much more interesting country is Molvania: Molvanian travel guide

LMAO...........................ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1541 a peasant army attempted to turn on the landowners but the uprising was suppressed and the leader Gyidor Dvokic burned alive on a red-hot iron spike, giving rise to the modern Molvanian witticism ?eich zdern clakka yastenhach!? (literally ?my rectum feels as if a great heat is being applied?).
LOL!


edit... that was from the molvania site here

The inhabitants of this tiny isolated economy exist on fishing, subsistence farming, handicrafts, and postage stamps. The fertile soil of the valleys produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including citrus, sugarcane, watermelons, bananas, yams, and beans. Bartering is an important part of the economy. The major sources of revenue are the sale of postage stamps to collectors and the sale of handicrafts to passing ships

ok, someone explain.

Dear Mom,
Everything is going good on my island. Someone here actually had a child so that means our population may increase before we all die. Please send cookies, our survival depends on it.

This just cracked me up..

"The major sources of revenue are the sale of postage stamps to collectors and the sale of handicrafts to passing ships"

They should just start growing weed, tourism would sky rocket.

Not as hularious as Sealand An old WW2Fort that someone took and made into a country.

Even had their own Semi-war

Sealand came under threat from hostile naval units from other states and, in the early days of independence, there were the most determined attempts made to isolate and starve out the island.
