Comment
The Republic of Molossia was founded on 26 May 1977 by Kevin Baugh. Molossia consists of Baugh's property in Dayton, Nevada (USA), and its citizens are limited to the members of his family who reside there.The Grand Republic of Vuldstein was founded on May 26th, 1977, in Portland, Oregon. Despite its name it had a King, James I, and a Prime Minister, Kevin Baugh. Documents, which follow below, established the Grand Republic and not only demonstrated its national symbols and money, but provided for future citizenship.
Molossia was originally named the Grand Republic of Vuldstein.
The Grand Republic generally became inactive later that year, as the King moved to a different school. However, the Prime Minister carried it on through the next twenty-one years (during which time it was renamed the Kingdom of Edelstein, and later the Kingdom of Zaria), until the Grand Republic of Vuldstein was reborn as the Kingdom of Molossia in May 1998. In June 1998 the Kingdom became a People's Democratic Republic, which later joined the United Provinces of Utopia as a province of that nation. In February 1999, the People's Democratic Republic of Molossia was again declared a sovereign nation, and in September of that year became the Republic of Molossia, the nation you see before you today.
