Republic of Molossia

Description

The Republic of Molossia, also known as Molossia, is a micronation completely surrounded by the United States, founded by Kevin Baugh and headquartered at his home near Dayton, Nevada. The Republic of Molossia has claimed itself a nation, but it is not recognized as a country by any national government nor by the United Nations. On April 16, 2016, Baugh hosted a tour of Molossia, sponsored by the website Atlas Obscura. Kevin Baugh continues to pay property taxes on the land to Storey County , although he calls it "foreign aid". Kevin Baugh has stated, "We all want to think we have our own country, but you know the U.S. is a lot bigger". Molossia is a de-facto dictatorship, because it is ruled by Kevin Baugh since 1977 without any elections.

The origins of Molossia come from a micronation childhood project, called The Grand Republic of Vuldstein, founded by Baugh and James Spielman on May 26, 1977.
