The smallest country in the world

If someone asks, where is the smallest country in the world, you will definitely say it is the Vatican. Yes, the Vatican is the smallest and least populated country in the world, with a land area of 0.44 square kilometers and a population of 572 people. Nevertheless, it is an independent and sovereign state.
But there is a smaller country in the world than the Vatican, only it is not a sovereign state, but a small private one: the Republic of Molossia. Compared with the narrow Vatican, the Republic of Molossia is truly a country of small size, after all, the entire country has a population of only 31 people. Some people exaggerate that if Molossia wants to grow its population, it depends on the president's wife to have more children.
If you search for the country on the Internet, you will find a lot of reports, but they are all very funny, but it is not the media's fault, because Molossia is such a joke of a country. No serious country in the world recognizes it, and from any point of view, it looks like an adult "playground".
The world's super small country is located in a desert area, so the natural environment is very harsh, plus the country is established in the name of the individual, and has not received the slightest international recognition, it is because of this so embarrassing reason, so in the open almost no one knows that there is a corner of North America, there is such a small country. The total land area of the Republic of Molossia is as small as 0.025 square kilometers.
Despite its small size, the Republic of Molossia, as a proper self-sustaining country, has a well-developed constitution, a navy, a bank, a currency, communications, etc., and was even the host of the first "Mini-National Olympics". People living here cannot emigrate, not even in any way.
In fact, Molossia's navy is nothing more than three inflatable rafts. It also considered establishing its own air force, but the airspace was so small that it had to stop. It does, however, have its own newspaper, beer and aviation industry. It also wants to start a soccer team if conditions allow in the future.
This super small country has been committed to the development of military weapons, and President Bauer has invested a lot of money in military research. Although this small country, nowadays, does not have a real army of its own, they have spared no effort in weapons research.
What is shocking is that until now this super small country has a space program, and they are ready to make a big push on it. It must be said that the Republic of Molossia is quite admirable in this respect. After all, with just 30 people, Molossia can really engage in space research, and it seems that everything should not be underestimated.
In fact, Molossia's space project was 40 colorful balloons carrying a family camera to take aerial pictures of the country's panorama. However, the balloons unfortunately hung up on a tree branch and the mission ended in failure ......
It is known that Molossia has its own standard time, which is 39 minutes faster than Pacific Standard Time and 21 minutes slower than American Mountain Standard Time. It also has its own post office and telecommunication system, although the recipients and call takers are limited to the country's territory. In fact, this kind of communication is nothing more than a decoration, shouting out loud to hear the country, what is the use of the telephone.
"Molossia" claims not to pay taxes to the United States, but to provide the same amount to the United States in the form of "foreign aid" to support the latter's infrastructure development, such as road construction.
Molossia also has its own postage stamp and currency, named Valora, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar, with the exchange rate fluctuating from time to time.
The country's president, Mr. Bauer, even had the whimsical hope of building a strong army of his own. However, seeing the small number of citizens, he knew he could not achieve it and gave up. Perhaps because the country is too small and too weakly equipped, or too low-profile, the Republic of Molossia has not been able to be recognized by the outside world, but this did not prevent the country's efforts to grow.
As we all know, establishing a country is an extremely difficult thing, not to mention that the country's people only 30 or so people, so in order to grow their own country, Bauer can only take up the burden of expanding the population. The only person who can accomplish this mission is Bauer's wife, the wife of the president of the Morosia Republic. However, it is also astonishing to say that it is not a foolproof way to expand the population base by virtue of a woman giving birth to children alone, but there is no choice but to do so.
But I do not know why, for five consecutive years the Republic of Molossia country did not have a newborn baby born. This makes the president very worried, and even ran to New York to promote, to come to live in the country of Molossia, if you can be issued 30-50 dollars a month, which has attracted the attention of many homeless people. But unexpectedly, the president does not like homeless people, so the country was once "attacked" by homeless people, so that the president now bought two used motorcycles to facilitate the escape and protection of their own citizens.
Molossia means "hill of small rocks" in Spanish. Bauer states that Molossia has nothing to do with the Morosians of ancient Greece. Molossia has its origins in the founding of the Republic of Greater Watertistan by Bauer James and Spirouwen, who became King James I and Bauer Prime Minister on May 26, 1977.
On November 2, 1983, the Republic of Greater Watertistan declared war on the GDR on the grounds that it was affecting stability in Greater Watertistan, and on October 3, 1990, after the reunification of the two Germanies, Greater Watertistan declared that the remnants of the GDR regime, still present on an uninhabited island off the southern coast of Cuba, were still at war between the two countries. After the establishment of the Republic of Molossia, the war against East Germany was inherited as well.
On September 3, 1999, Bauer declared that the Republic of Molossia succeeded the Republic of Greater Wotstein and made himself president. Since its founding, "Molossia" has moved several times, and in the 1990s it moved from Europe to North America, where it has since settled in the desert east of Reno, Nevada, the "divorce capital" of the United States.
When Molossia was founded, Bauer was a man in his 30s, now he should be almost 60 years old, he is a normal and romantic man of intelligence. Like Heaton, an American who planted a flag on the border between Egypt and Sudan to establish the "Kingdom of North Sudan" in order to fulfill his daughter's dream of becoming a princess, Bauer has a certain romanticism. This romanticism could not be discharged in the desert of Nevada, so it was only released through the military medals of Molossia. On the official website of Molosia, Kevin, wearing a military uniform full of glory medals, opens his arms with a smile and welcomes his friends from all over the world.
Today, the country of Molossia has become an "Internet sensation" and many Americans take weekend trips to see it. Every time someone comes, the president will yell at them for violating the territory of the country of Molossia, but there is nothing to do but watch them escape.
