Bloody hell! Have you ever heard of Forvik??? It's a country that owns no less than 10,000m2 (bear in mind, that's equal to a 100m x 100m area) of ground, and has the truly astonishing amount of 1 citizen, who lives in a vast and highly decorated blue tent!!!

Just read (and laugh) for yourself. Here's Forvik's official website.

The Country with 1 citizen 800px-Forewick_Holm_%28aka_Forvik_Island%29_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1780521
Forewick Holm, Forvik's only territory. Bear in mind it's only the island up front, the rest is part of Mainland Shetland

What, Forvik? There was a news in the local papers, where all countries that try to get independency were listed, but there was no Forvik! I've never even heard of this country! Shocked

But it's just too funny! Just look at this pic:

It just looks like a map made in MS Paint! :lol: And they want their own parlament? Razz

It's no real use having a parliament with 1 citizen, is there? Razz

There was a news in the local papers, where all countries that try to get independency were listed, but there was no Forvik!

That'll be because, if I understand the Wikipedia article correctly, the UK government does acknowledge Forvik to be an independent country, but does not acknowledge the government of the country.

This is quite nice though, wouldn't everybody just want a letter with a header like that, regardless of the contents?

Hmm, I have that problem too. I have to expand my browser (it's normally about half of the screen, otherwise it's too big) to full screen to see it properly. Maybe admin could do something for this?

No, I can't. The picture is too large. Also, it wasn't really about the contents of the letter.

Here's the whole thing, if you do want to read it...

Curious fact, there's a small expanse of territory that's not claimed by any country between Libia and Egypt.
Perfect for anyone who's enterprising enough to create their own state...

If you want to, you can now choose 'Forvikian' as your nationality. It's a bit of a joke, I admit...

You can't, but apparently there is some sense in the man's reasoning, otherwise nobody would ever have even thought about it. Actually, he would probably not have sent the queen a letter publicly questioning her authority when there wasn't a base for his claims...

I suppose...

Seems funny though. So if you got everyone in your street to agree with you, you could declare the Republic of Republic Street, say.


Lol.
