Dominion of Melchizedek

The Dominion of Melchizedek (DoM), is a unilaterally declared, internationally unrecognised micronation known for facilitating large scale banking fraud in many parts of the world during the 1990s and early 2000s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dominion of Melchizedek )
==Origin and status==
The Dominion of Melchizedek was unilaterally declared in 1990 by U.S. citizen Mark Pedley, possibly with his father, David Pedley.〔 Mark Pedley also uses a number of pseudonyms, including "Tzemach Ben David Netzer Korem" and "Branch Vinedresser". It borrows its name from the biblical king and priest Melchizedek.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cyberfraud: The fictitious "Dominion of Melchizedek" )
When created, the DoM first laid claim to the Colombian island of Malpelo, a small island 300 miles off the Pacific coast of Colombia. Later, it claimed the Karitane Shoal in the South Pacific, which is completely submerged for part of the day;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fantasy Island: The Strange Tale of Alleged Fraudster Pearlasia Gamboa )Clipperton Island, an overseas possession of France which lies 671 miles south-west of Mexico; and ''Taongi'', otherwise known as Bokak Atoll, an uninhabited Micronesian atoll falling under the administration of the Government of the Marshall Islands.〔 Representatives of the DoM were banned from entering the island of Rotuma after their involvement with dissident groups seeking to secede from Fiji, with whom they had signed agreements to lease land on the islands of Rotuma and its neighbour Solkope.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=State v Riogi () FJHC 61; Haa0060j.2001s )〕 It also claims the portion of Antarctica unclaimed by sovereign states, from 90 degrees to 150 degrees west, known as Marie Byrd Land.
It has been described as "non-existent" by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Litigation Release No. 16368 )〕 and as a "non-recognised sovereignty" by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Caribbean Bank of Commerce Ltd. (Melchizedek) )〕 It appears on an EU list of fantasy passports issued by private individuals or organisations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=INFORMATION CONCERNING THE NON-EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF KNOWN FANTASY AND CAMOUFLAGE PASSPORTS )〕 Media reports have described it as a "virtual country",〔 as a "ruse",〔 and as a "phony country".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boy, Do We Know Tzemach Ben David Netzer Korem )
