Molossia, also known as the self-proclaimed Republic of Molossia, is a micronation, founded by Kevin Baugh and headquartered solely from his home near Dayton, Nevada. The Republic of Molossia has claimed itself a nation but it is not officially recognized as a country by the United Nations or any country. It consists of Baugh's house (known as the Government House), about in size, as well as of surrounding property, enclaved by Nevada. It formerly claimed a property in Pennsylvania as well. Originally established as a childhood project in 1977, Molossia subsequently evolved into a territorial entity in the late 1990s. The name ''Molossia'' is derived from the Spanish word ''morro'' which means "small rocky hill". Baugh has stated the ancient Illyrian tribe of Molossians is unrelated.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Republic of Molossia - Official Website )〕 ==History== 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. On November 13, 2012, Kevin Baugh created a petition on the Whitehouse.gov ''We the People'' website requesting formal recognition of the micronation. However, his petition did not gain enough signatures for recognition. On April 11, 2015, Kevin Baugh hosted Micro-Con 2015 in Anaheim Central Library in California. Micro-Con was created to attract media attention to the micronational world.〔(MicroCon 2015 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Republic of Molossia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
