The past week or so has seemed almost normal here in Flin Flon, with all of the events we have to report on. The Northern Juried Art Show had its opening in The Pas.
Would you like to buy a micronation?
The Principality of Hutt River is on the market. For 50 years, the sprawling 6,100 hectare property, more than 500 kilometres from Perth, styled itself as the “second-largest country in Australia”.
It was formed in 1970 by Leonard Casley (Prince Leonard), who seceded from Australia following a dispute with the state government over wheat production quotas. Casley died in 2019 and in August 2020, his son, Prince Graeme announced he would sell the family farm to pay a A$3 million tax bill.
Despite the demise of Hutt River, many micronations continue to exist. During research for an upcoming book on micronations, I have identified at least 135 around the world.
