Yes, what every princess wants - some unclaimed desert in northern Africa.
Good luck to him on establishing a relationship with Sudan and Egypt. :lol:
I wonder how he got there? no roads, it looks completely uninhabited, and uninhabitable.
So what will the legal system be like? Will it be based on common law?
And more importantly, what will he tell his daughter when no one recognizes his country?
Depending how you claim things, maybe....I think the USSR landed a robot on the moon before the manned lunar landings? Not sure, I would need to check...Does that mean the US owns the moon?
Actually the land he claimed is land that neither Egypt nor Sudan claim. In a weird border dispute, the border Egypt claims makes it part of Sudan. The border that Sudan claims puts it in Egypt.

Basically, Sudan says the border is a river. Egypt says it's a straight line.
Immediately worried about controlling people's behavior eh?
No worries, unless he walls it in and hires a military, he cant force anyone to live there.
You should have done it....seen if anyone would voluntarily live under your Catholic Confessional System or whatever it's called. If it's so great, maybe they'd put up with an uninhabited desert to be be among their own kind. Seems to be working for the Jews (well, a few hiccups of course).
IMO this guy will be killed as soon as Islamic fundies catch on.
I know the UN fancies itself the world's mommy, but a country does not need their permission to exist.FRom the article:
Sheila Carapico, professor of political science and international studies at the University of Richmond, told the Bristol Herald Courier last week that Heaton would need legal recognition from neighboring countries, the United Nations or other groups to have actual political control of the land.
I know the UN fancies itself the world's mommy, but a country does not need their permission to exist.
Anyway, I say good for him... now go home, tell your princess she's a Princess, and move on with your life.
Says who? And which ones?A new country requires recognition by an existing country or group of countries.
