The beautiful Hutt River Province
The second biggest country at the Australian continent is a monarchy ruled by Prince Leonard – an old, nice man in his eighties. The young kingdom was founded in 1970 and today it has a population of twenty.
The Hong Kong-sized nation has a bushy, West Australian landscape full of caravans and industrial-type machine wrecks, a setting that not even a sunset are capable of making pretty. But it has lots of charm though; you’ll find sculptures, a tea-house and a nice chapel that the Jesus-man himself would be proud of. A governmental office is also set up, and visitors can apply for citizenships and passports.
His Royal Highness is a very nice and friendly man and a visit to his land is a great postcard-story. Despite its tiny population, Hutt River Province is a country not to be messed with – an eternal battle with the Australian government now seems to head for the courts at the King’s initiative. The province’s official independence is the case and Prince Leonard ensures that their case is strong, and with legal help from their French, British and American friends David might beat Goliat.
