[T]he Republic of Molossia, is a micronation, founded by Kevin Baugh and headquartered solely from his home near Dayton, Nevada. The Republic of Molossia claims to be a sovereign, independent nation-state, completely surrounded by the United States.

It consists of Baugh’s house (known as the Government House), about 0.001 acres in size, as well as 1.3 acres of surrounding property, enclaved by Nevada. It formerly claimed a property in Pennsylvania as well.

The name Molossia is derived from the Spanish word morro which means “small rocky hill”.

On September 3, 1999, Baugh created the Republic of Molossia as a latter day successor to a childhood make-believe kingdom called “The Grand Republic of Vuldstein”, and declared himself to be its president.

Molossia recognizes several other micronations, with numerous treaties enacted to this end. In May 2008, a summit was held with Grand Duke Paul, leader of the Grand Duchy of Greifenberg, another micronation.

Plans were made for the revitalization of the League of Small Nations, a nearly defunct organization devoted to the prosperity of all micronations claiming land.

I absolutely adore all these micronations. This one is even in a state of war with East Germany on the fantastic pretext that Ernst Thälmann Island, supposedly granted to East Germany by Cuba in 1972, is sovereign territory of East Germany (it actually is owned by Cuba).

And, yes, it is absolutely searchable on Google Maps, indeed showing up as the “Republic of Molossia” off Marry Lane Road off Highway 50 east of Reno.
