    Once again, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I'm starting a country in Marie Byrd Land and am now taking applications for citizens who would like to join me. No one can stop me.

    "Monopoly over violence" as opposed to the much more common "Violence over Monopoly"

    The difference between South Sudan and others is that the country they broke away from recognized them. Sudan says there is a South Sudan, so nobody bothers to contest it.

    My unis “claim to fame” was declaring ourselves an independent country in 1980 to protest education cuts. The “Free Republic of Keele” declared themselves independent of the UK, made their own passports, had their own enforced border control and their own national anthem. Apparently, they sent a letter of state recognition to every nation and got a response from Cuba This one response meant that Keele University became its own seperate state away from the UK, literally within the borders of Keele Uni was a completely seperate country. This lasted all of 3 days until HM Army invaded Keele University and conquered the state to get it back into the UK

    I’m from Somaliland and the reason we do not have recognition is because Somalia doesn’t want to let us go. Yes, we have own clan, dialect, government and Independence Day but Somalia refuse to give us written independence even though they recognise us. That’s the difference. I’m proud to be from Somaliland and we do not need recognition from other countries to know that we exist. SOMALILAND HA NOO LAATO 💚🤍❤️

    As a Canadian I always assumed that Canada was a real country but I've got to thank Jay and Mark for getting me on the right path of truth at long last.

    You sign off "Yours faithfully" when you began the letter "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam". You sign off "Yours sincerely" if you began the letter with the person's name. In other words, the complementary close has to match the salutation.

    I think it's totally cool for someone to get a back tattoo of the world map, as long as the map projection was chosen and aligned properly, and then track which countries you've visited by filling them in, as long as you don't go around showing it off to people.
