<hr />
<div>'''Westarctica.com''' and '''Westarctica.info''' are the domain names used by the government of [[Westarctica]] for all official business.<br />
<br />
==Westarctica's internet presence==<br />
During the early days of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] in 2001, the domain name Achaea.org was utilized along with a very basic website created on the old Geocities platform. The username utilized on Yahoo! for ownership purposes was ''achaeanterritory''. Toward the end of 2003, an e-mail account for Achaea.org was acquired and routed through the Yahoo! mail account.<br />
<br />
==Westarctica.com==<br />
When the Achaean Territory was disbanded, [[Grand Duke Travis]] created the domain name Westarctica.com for the nation's new website. The site was still run through Geocities, but a more robust e-mail system was put into place that allowed for multiple users with the Westarctica branding.<br />
<br />
In 2005, the [[Duke of Ravencroft]] was appointed [[Minister of Information]] and took over responsibility for design and maintenance of the official government website. He migrated the relevant data to a separate server and created an entirely new site which served as the primary public face of Westarctica until 2007.<br />
<br />
===Loss of Westarctica.com===<br />
In mid-2007, Travis' successor on the throne, [[Grand Duke Philip]] underwent a series of medical and financial struggles that resulted in his inability to maintain the [[Westarctica]] website any further. Payment for the domain name lapsed and on 13 September 2007 at 18:03 UTC, a domain parking service wrested control of Westarctica.com from the government.<br />
<br />
This tragic loss of the official website resulted in numerous micronationalists declaring Westarctica's government dead and its claim to [[Marie Byrd Land]] no longer valid. Seemingly overnight, hordes of restless micronations crawled out of the woodwork to fight over the scraps of Westarctica's seemingly abandoned claim to its sovereign territory. These events were part of the misunderstandings that led to the [[Siple War]].<br />
<br />
==Westarctica.org==<br />
In July 2008, when [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] was preparing to assume the throne, he contacted the holder of Westarctica.com and asked to purchase back the domain, but the new owner's asking price was $5,000 he showed no willingness to negotiate. To combat the issue, he purchased Westarctica.org instead and established a brand new website under that domain. However, by late 2009, Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence had failed to renew the registration in a timely manner and Westarctica.org was also grabbed up by a domain parking service.<br />
<br />
==Westarctica.info==<br />
As part of the [[The Great Return| 2010 coup]] that removed Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence from power, Travis McHenry and his fellow conspirators new a crucial aspect of the coup would involve bringing back Westarctica's official website. He contacted the domain parking services in control of both the .com and .org domains, but neither was willing to part with their precious possessions. In response, both Westarctica.net and Westarctica.info were considered as possible alternative names for the relaunch. Ultimately, Westarctica.info was selected due to its lower cost and the desire to project the official site as a place to gain information about Westarctica.<br />
<br />
Westarctica.info went live to the world on 4 June 2010, the same day as the Transitional Government of Westarctica was proclaimed. It is also the Grand Duke's Birthday.<br />
<br />
==Re-capture of Westarctica.com==<br />
After seven years of nearly continuous negotiations, Grand Duke Travis was finally able to get the domain parking service to lower its asking price for the Westarctica.com domain. The transfer of ownership was finalized on 3 March 2018 and became property of Westarctica once again.<br />

[[Category: Culture of Westarctica]]</div>65.215.51.113https://www.westarctica.wiki/index.php?title=Religion_in_Westarctica&diff=1588Religion in Westarctica2018-04-04T17:51:39Z<p>65.215.51.113: /* Religion in the Achaean Territory */</p>
<hr />
<div>The role of '''religion in Westarctica''' is currently an area of only limited social concern by the country's government and peoples. [[Westarctica]] distinguishes itself from many other sovereign nations in that it does not place religious restrictions nor enforce religious laws or edicts on any of its citizens, nor does it limit the availability of diplomatic visas for entry or exit from the country's borders for religious reasons.<br />
<br />
However, previously, religion played a very significant role in the shaping of Westarctica's national character.<br />
<br />
==Religion in the Achaean Territory==<br />
[[File:Alexander bust.jpg|thumb|Bust of Alexander the Great]]<br />
When the territory of Westarctica was first claimed in 2001 as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]], the country largely followed the religious inclination of its leader, [[Grand Duke Travis|Consul-General Travis McHenry]]. The trend among many of the nobles at that time was a general sense of agnostic irreligion. However, the [[Consul-General of the Achaean Territory|Consul-General]] himself was a semi-practicing Classical Pantheist who predominantly worshiped the gods of the ancient Greek Pantheon as well as Alexander the Great (who was considered by the Egyptians and the Persians to be a living god, and later, by the Greeks as member of the Pantheon).<br />
<br />
Thus, Classical Pantheism showed its mark on the naming of the territory itself (''Achaea'' is a region of ancient Greece) as well as the naming of Achaea's capital city (''Achilles'', after the mythological hero of ''The Iliad''). The [[Coronation of the Consul-General]] occurred in a castle utilized by Alexander the Great during his conquest of Asia Minor (Turkey) and the [[Consular Crown|crown]] used was a solid gold circlet carved in the shape of a laurel wreath in the style of a Roman civic crown.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the Consul-General made routine sacrifices of food and money to the deities Alexander, Poseidon, and Athena.<br />
<br />
==Adoption of Christianity as National Religion==<br />
===Legal basis===<br />
In June 2004, the Consul-General underwent a religious conversion and became a born-again Christian as publicly declared in the 13 June 2004 Statement of Faith. As part of a reorganization of the government of the Achaean Territory, all previous legal codes were abolished and the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]] became the new law of the land. At this time, the country changed its name to [[Westarctica]], and adopted a new flag with a cross and crown design.<br />
[[File:Statement of Faith.jpg|thumb|Statement of Faith as written, signed, and decreed by Grand Duke Travis in 2004]]<br />
Although the Grand Ducal Mandate explicitly guaranteed "freedom of religion to all religions" (in Chapter II, Article 4, Section 2, Subsection H), Chapter VI, dealing with special religious clauses, declared Protestant Christianity to be the state religion of Westarctica and also awarded remuneration and pensions to religious leaders. Article 60 stated:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Article 60: National Religion<br><br />
(1) The official religion of the Grand Duchy shall be Protestant Christian.<br><br />
(2) The state-sponsored church shall enjoy the special protection of the government and the Grand Duke.<br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===Religious activities of the government===<br />
Seeing himself as a leader who was obligated to publicly live by the standards of Christianity, the Grand Duke married his partner, the [[Marquise of Walgreen]] after dating for only seven months. Just as quickly, he integrated aspects of religion into the foreign affairs of Westarctica when he reached out to the leaders of Christian-themed micronations as well as macronational monarchies with Protestant or Catholic rulers.<br />
<br />
On 23 March 2005, the first [[Minister of Theocratic Affairs]] was appointed to advise and guide the Grand Duke on religious matters. The following April, a religious [[Orders of Westarctica|order of knighthood]], the [[Holy Order of The Cross]] was instituted and the first knighthood bestowed upon the recently deceased Pope John Paul II. Sixteen days later, the Grand Duke wrote to the Presidents of Laos and Eritrea requesting the release of religious prisoners kept in their countries.<br />
<br />
==Religion during the Reign of Grand Duke Philip==<br />
Following [[Grand Duke Travis]]' 2006 abdication from the throne, power was passed to his successor, [[Grand Duke Philip]], who listed his religious affiliation as "eclectic," but was essentially a practicing Neopagan.<br />
<br />
This was at a time when 70% of Westarctica's population officially identified as Christian and, when discounting the agnostic population, the various sects of Christianity were followed by 93% of all citizens who identified with any religion.<br />
<br />
Less than two months after the transfer of power, there was an explosive series of arguments between the [[Grand Ducal Cabinet|cabinet ministers]] in Westarctica's government forum. A variety of charges and accusations were made against Jon-Lawrence Langer, the [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin]] by several of his fellow ministers. According to His Grace, the accusations included:<br />
<blockquote><br />
I have been publicly accused of treason, sedition against the United States of America, not being christian, being evil, and few charges that I fail to recollect at the moment.<br><br />
<br />
Travis, I am truly and deeply disgusted with Westarctica. They lied about me. They hid evidence of their wrong doing. I can never trust any of them in the future. You are a good man. Sadly, you are also the exception.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
This altercation, where religion was not the central issue, but still included on the periphery, marked the beginning of the end of Westarctica's prestige and ability to function as a sovereign government. The fact that the new [[Minister of Theocratic Affairs]] was involved with the turmoil only made matters more difficult to resolve.<br />
<br />
===The Thurston===<br />
In 2007, an announcement was made on Westarctica's official website by the [[Minister of Foreign Affairs|Minister of Affairs]], [[Lovette Mott]] that a new religious enclave would be carved out of [[Thurston Island]], which was ruled over by her daughter, Her Highness, the [[Princess of Thurston]]. Although it was presented with the caveat that the project would not interfere with Westarctica's freedom of religion policy, the core idea was described as:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
We desire to create a place where officials from governments around the world may come to find out the collective Protestant view on various social, political, moral and faith issues of the day. “I lift my eyes up unto the hills from whence cometh my help,” say the Psalms.<br><br />
<br />
Since the Vatican is simply the name of a hill, the Princess of Thurston has kindly set aside a hill on a portion of the Isle of Thurston for the development of an actual edifice. As befits its future installation, it shall be called “The Thurston.” Until such time as we have a visual embodiment of our ideals, the Thurston is currently “virtual.” Hebrews teaches us that faith is belief in both the seen and the unseen, so we should have no difficulty with the idea of a virtual Thurston!<br />
</blockquote> <br />
<br />
Although the project never came to fruition as intended, its mere existence highlights the importance of Christianity and religion in general during the reign of [[Grand Duke Philip]].<br />
<br />
==Religion during the Reign of Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence==<br />
As a Knight of the Holy Order of The Cross, the new Grand Duke had already been recognized for his devotion to Christianity, but having learned from the mistakes of the previous ruler, after he assumed the throne in 2008, [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] did not make the advancement of religious principles a significant part of his government's agenda.<br />
<br />
==Religion during the Transitional Government==<br />
[[File:Flag of Westarctica.jpg|thumb|Redesigned Cross and Crown Flag]]<br />
By the time [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] seized control of the government of [[Westarctica]] again in mid-2010, he had renounced religion entirely and was no longer practicing any form of religious worship and considered himself an atheist. Or, as he once phrased it: "A spiritual atheist. I might believe in ghosts, but not God."<br />
<br />
To highlight the lack of religious influence in the new government, the flag was changed from the cross and crown to a more republican tricolor. The Prime Minister, the [[Duke of Waesche]], a Catholic, was the real power in the government and had total authority to create laws, sign treaties, and engage in relations with other countries. However, he made no moves to restore Christianity as a national religion.<br />
<br />
==Religion during the second reign of Grand Duke Travis==<br />
In November 2014, Travis decided that he was once again bear the cloak of royalty and was elevated from being "Protector of Westarctica" to Grand Duke of Westarctica. At this time, he redesigned Westarctica's flag and created a more attractive version of the original cross and crown motif. He also declared "God Save Westarctica" to be the nation anthem again. These very public changes were intended as an overture to citizens who joined during the years when Christianity was the National Religion to let them know their presence was welcome in the nation.<br />
<br />
===Current legal status of religion===<br />
The Charter of Westarctica guarantees freedom of religion for all citizens. [[Grand Duke Travis]] has stated that in the future, his own personal religious choices shall remain his own and will not permeate the national identity of the government or the country.<br />

<br />
The '''Colony of Calsaraha''', formerly the '''Realm of Calsahara''', the '''Imperial Kingdom of Calsahara''', and originally the '''Kingdom of Calsahara''', is a dependent colony of [[Westarctica]] located entirely within the U.S. state of California on the [[Carrizio Plain]]. The Kingdom, founded by [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] on 24 November 2009, was conquered without resistance during the [[Invasion of Calsahara]] by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] on 29 October 2018.<br />
<br />
==Kingdom of Calsahara: 2009 - 2011==<br />
When it was founded, Calsahara was considered an "Enlightened Monarchy," but was in practice just another absolute dictatorship.<br />
<br />
==Imperial Kingdom of Calsahara: 2011 - 2014==<br />
In January 2011, King Montague led the Calsaharan Corps of Engineers on a mission to conquer the vast empty plain surrounding Otisburg.<br />

in June 2013, McHenry and his wife filed for divorce and this resulted in a crisis in the Calsahara government. The members of the Chancellery voiced their desire to have someone other than the disgraced monarch rule their land. After months of bickering and internal pressure, King Montague abdicated and passed the throne to his son, who was crowned as King Nicholas in 2014. In a power-sharing agreement, the executive power to govern was split between King Nicholas and the newly-created office of Dictator For Life. Naturally, McHenry was the only serious candidate for the office.<br />
<br />
==Colony of Westarctica: 2017 - Present==<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
Since the government upheaval in 2014 that resulted in the abdication of King Montague and the ascension of King Nicholas, the power in the central government is shared by the King and the Dictator For Life.<br />
<br />
The two branches of government are:<br />
*The Executive Office<br />
*The Chancellery<br />
<br />
The Executive Office is controlled entirely by King Nicholas and the Dictator for Life. According to Decree of the Realm XII, no instrument of government (including decrees, titles of nobility, and military appointments) is valid unless is bears the official seals of both the King and the Dictator.<br />
<br />
The Chancellery consists of four individuals who are direct descendants of the original owner of Calsahara's property, Boots Brannon. They serve in an advisory capacity and have no real power in the government. They are led by the Grand Chancellor, who is also King Nicholas' mother and the ex-wife of the Dictator For Life. She serves as a liaison between the Chancellery and the Executive Office, advocating for them when necessary.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
[[File:General-Montague.jpg|thumb|General Montague]]In July 2011, Calsahara established its first military force, the Royal Corps of Engineers. The primary duty of the Corps is to defend against seasonal flooding which endangers the southern border of Calsahara. At the head of the Corps is the Dictator For Life, who is responsible for all military operations in Calsahara. During the 2010 state visit to Vikesland, members of the Corps of Engineers participated in the Joint Micronational Training Exercise-2010 (JMTEX-10) with the Vikesland Security Force. In 2011, they constructed the Otisburg Fire Pit, a small ring of rocks quarried from Calsahara.<br />
<br />
Although capable of combat operations, Calsaharan soldiers do not carry firearms.<br />

<br />
The '''Colony of Calsaraha''', formerly the '''Realm of Calsahara''', the '''Imperial Kingdom of Calsahara''', and originally the '''Kingdom of Calsahara''', is a dependent colony of [[Westarctica]] located entirely within the U.S. state of California on the [[Carrizio Plain]]. The Kingdom, founded by [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] on 24 November 2009, was conquered without resistance during the [[Invasion of Calsahara]] by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] on 29 October 2018.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Kingdom of Calsahara: 2009 - 2011===<br />
When it was founded, Calsahara was considered an "Enlightened Monarchy," but was in practice just another absolute dictatorship.<br />
<br />
===Imperial Kingdom of Calsahara: 2011 - 2014===<br />
In January 2011, King Montague led the Calsaharan Corps of Engineers on a mission to conquer the vast empty plain surrounding Otisburg.<br />
<br />
===Realm of Calsahara: 2014 - 2017===<br />
in June 2013, McHenry and his wife filed for divorce and this resulted in a crisis in the Calsahara government. The members of the Chancellery voiced their desire to have someone other than the disgraced monarch rule their land. After months of bickering and internal pressure, King Montague abdicated and passed the throne to his son, who was crowned as King Nicholas in 2014. In a power-sharing agreement, the executive power to govern was split between King Nicholas and the newly-created office of Dictator For Life. Naturally, McHenry was the only serious candidate for the office.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
Since the government upheaval in 2014 that resulted in the abdication of King Montague and the ascension of King Nicholas, the power in the central government is shared by the King and the Dictator For Life.<br />
<br />
The two branches of government are:<br />
*The Executive Office<br />
*The Chancellery<br />
<br />
The Executive Office is controlled entirely by King Nicholas and the Dictator for Life. According to Decree of the Realm XII, no instrument of government (including decrees, titles of nobility, and military appointments) is valid unless is bears the official seals of both the King and the Dictator.<br />
<br />
The Chancellery consists of four individuals who are direct descendants of the original owner of Calsahara's property, Boots Brannon. They serve in an advisory capacity and have no real power in the government. They are led by the Grand Chancellor, who is also King Nicholas' mother and the ex-wife of the Dictator For Life. She serves as a liaison between the Chancellery and the Executive Office, advocating for them when necessary.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
[[File:General-Montague.jpg|thumb|General Montague]]In July 2011, Calsahara established its first military force, the Royal Corps of Engineers. The primary duty of the Corps is to defend against seasonal flooding which endangers the southern border of Calsahara. At the head of the Corps is the Dictator For Life, who is responsible for all military operations in Calsahara. During the 2010 state visit to Vikesland, members of the Corps of Engineers participated in the Joint Micronational Training Exercise-2010 (JMTEX-10) with the Vikesland Security Force. In 2011, they constructed the Otisburg Fire Pit, a small ring of rocks quarried from Calsahara.<br />
<br />
Although capable of combat operations, Calsaharan soldiers do not carry firearms.<br />

<br />
'''Molossia''', officially the '''Republic of Molossia''', is a North American territorial microstate landlocked within the city of Dayton, Nevada. One of the oldest [[Micronations|micronations]] of the modern era, it succeeded the Grand Republic of Vuldstein, founded by James Spielman and [[President Kevin Baugh|Kevin Baugh]], now serving as its current leader since the transition from a monarchy to a republic in September 1999.<br />
<br />
Vuldstein, founded in May 1977 and located in Portland, Oregon, was active for a short period which lasted until the end of the year, when its King moved to another city without renouncing to his throne, leading the Grand Republic to a state of inactivity. President Baugh took control of the nation for the following 21 years, undergoing different transitions to several nomadic kingdoms, then a People's Democratic Republic in 1998 until its present state.<br />
<br />
Molossia has been a [[sovereignty|sovereign state]] since 1977 and is well known outside the micronational community, receiving dozens of tourists each year. Kevin Baugh has stated, "We all want to think we have our own country, but you know the U.S. is a lot bigger."<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Molossian Nation was founded on 26 May 1977. Known at that time as the Grand Republic of Vuldstein, James Spielman was declared King James I, and Kevin Baugh was declared Prime Minister. After a short period of sporadic activity the nation entered into a period of dormancy. King James I, though still monarch, ceased to be active in the kingdom at that time. The Kingdom continued on, without the direct participation of the King, and continued to be developed by the Prime Minister. In 1980 it was renamed the Kingdom of Edelstein, and in 1988 it was renamed again, this time as the Kingdom of Zaria. The Kingdom existed as a nomadic government, without a home. Carried on by the Prime Minister, the Government traveled to Europe, and after its return in 1992, the Kingdom prospered and grew culturally.<br />
<br />
In 1995, the Kingdom was transplanted to the State of Nevada, in the USA. In 1998, land was purchased that the nation could call home, and upon which the government was formally and officially established. In June 1998, the Kingdom was renounced in favor of a provisional Communist government. In September 1998, Molossia sacrificed its sovereignty and joined the United Provinces of Utopia as a province of that nation.<br />
<br />
In January 1999 the UPOU ceased to exist as a nation, and bereft of a national government, the People's Democratic Republic of Molossia was declared, on 21 February 1999, with Kevin Baugh serving as Premier.<br />
<br />
Beginning in the spring of 1999, Molossia began a serious path of developing itself as an emerging small nation, rather than a micronation project. The possession of physical territory made this a course a tangible one, rather than a fantasy.<br />
<br />
On 3 September 1999, the communist government was renounced, the People's Democratic Republic ceased to exist, and the Republic of Molossia was declared. The former Premier, Kevin Baugh, became the President of the new government.<br />
<br />
==International relations==<br />
One feature of Molossia that has remained consistent is the nation's foreign affairs policy that strives to unite all small nations in peace and friendship. To that end, President Baugh has undertaken a series of initiatives to foster cooperation between other [[Micronations|micronations]].<br />
<br />
In 2000, Molossia hosted the first Intermicronational Olympic Games, in concert with the 2000 Sydney Games. That same year, Molossia sponsored the successful adoption of Norton Day (8th January) as the first international holiday exclusively for small nations, and further created the Norton Awards for Intermicronational Excellence. In 2001, the nation hosted the first Intermicronational World Exposition, showcasing small nations from the world over. On 2 August 2003, Molossia attended the World Intermicronational Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada with the Honorable Nicholas Q. Fry, Premier of the Nation of Ambrose and His Royal Highness, Spence King of the Kingdom of Zarahemla.<br />
<br />
In April 2015, Molossia organized and hosted the first [[MicroCon]], a biennial conference-style gathering of small nations reminiscent of the annual G-8 summit hosted by larger nations.<br />
<br />
===Treaties with other nations===<br />
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Molossia had a progressive foreign affairs policy that involved the signing of treaties with other micronations, including [[Westarctica]], with which it signed a treaty of mutual recognition and friendship in May 2005.<br />
<br />
However, following the passage of a new diplomatic policy on 26 March 2007, Molossia no longer engages in formal diplomatic relations with other states. The public notice explained their policy as:<br />
<blockquote><br />
Thus, our policy is simple: we will be friendly toward all other nations, but we will not entertain formal relations. This also precludes treaties, embassies or alliances of any kind. They are not necessary; you do not need to be recognized by Molossia in order to be sovereign, any more than you need to be recognized by a larger nation in order to be sovereign. If you state your sovereignty, that is good enough for our government, as is should be for all.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===State visits===<br />
Despite the lack of formal diplomatic relations, the Republic of Molossia still engages in acts of diplomacy and friendship with other countries and has hosted numerous state visits. A partial list of heads of state and/or government who have visited Molossia include:<br />
[[File:Calsahara2.jpg|thumb|right|300px|King Montague and President Baugh in Republic Square]]<br />
* Shogun Wyatt Larsen of Wyzantia, on 16 August 2014.<br />
* Governor General Larry Robinson of the Republic of New Plimoth, on 21 June 2014.<br />
* Magistrate of Ponderosa Territory, Shaun Kasimir, on 17 - 18 August 2013.<br />
* Her Majesty, [[Queen Anastasia]] of the [[Kingdom of Ruritania]] and Duchess Elizabeth Gretchen von Tarlenheim on 14 July 2013.<br />
* Their Territorial Highnesses, Prince Prince Arthur and Princess Zena-Antoinette of the [[Territorial House of Homestead]] on 25 - 26 May 2013.<br />
* High Prince Harrison of the Principality of Venus, on 13 May 2013.<br />
* Grand Premier of the Socialist Republic of Hydrovia on 23 October 2011.<br />
* King Montague of the Imperial [[Colony of Calsahara|Kingdom of Calsahara]] on 29 and 30 May 2011.<br />
* [[King Christopher]] of the [[Kingdom of Vikesland]], 27 - 30 June 2008.<br />
* Grand Duke Paul of of the Grand Duchy of Greifenberg, 21 April 2008.<br />
* [[Grand Duke Travis]] of the Grand Duchy of [[Westarctica]] in Washington D.C., 20 September 2005.<br />
* Their Majesties, Kasimir Diana, Regina and Ambyre Maria, Regina, dual monarchs of the Kingdom of TorHavn on 19 November 2000.<br />
<br />
==Territory==<br />
[[File:Baugh terrace.jpg|thumb|right|Baugh Terrace located in Molossia's Desert Homestead Province]]<br />
Molossia consists of three distinct tracts in the contiguous United States and comprising a total area of 6.3 acres (2.5 ha): Harmony Province, located near Dayton, Nevada, is the smallest of Molossia's territories, at little more than one acre (4,000 m2) in size. It is considered "Molossia's Homeland", and the site of Molossia's designated capital, Baughston. Baughston was renamed from Espera on 30 July 2013 to commemorate President Baugh's 51st birthday.<br />
<br />
===Colony of Farfalla===<br />
In August 2003, Baugh purchased a small piece of rural land in Northern California. This was named the Colony of Farfalla. The property was sold late in 2005, but in early 2015, Farfalla Colony was reacquired and became Molossian territory once again.<br />
<br />
===Desert Homestead Province===<br />
::''Main article: [[Desert Homestead Province]]''<br />
After Baugh inherited more land which he subsequently named [[Desert Homestead Province]], in the area of Joshua Tree in Southern California. Desert Homestead had previously been owned by Baugh's grandfather, and the property was later declared a national monument dedicated to him.<br />
<br />
==International conflicts==<br />
Although a predominately peaceful nation, the Republic of Molossia has been involved in numerous international conflicts.<br />
<br />
===War with Mustachistan===<br />
::''Main article: [[Molossia-Mustachistan War]]''<br />
On 22 May 2006, Molossia was drawn into a week-long war by the nearby micronation of Mustachistan, which was actually a puppet state created with President Baugh's assistance. The [[Molossia-Mustachistan War]] resulted in a quick victory for Molossia after dominating the Mustachistan Army and Navy in three separate battles. Problems continued with that country however, most notably with a crisis over the Mustachistani missile program in November and December 2006.<br />
<br />
===War with East Germany===<br />
In September 2008, a long-forgotten Declaration of War was discovered, opening hostilities with East Germany. War was apparently declared on 2 November 1983, when Molossia was still known as the Grand Republic of Vuldstein, as a response to military drills that Kevin Baugh was forced to perform while stationed with the United States Military in West Germany, and the resulting lack of sleep. While East Germany formally ceased to exist in 1991 via the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, Molossia argues that Ernst Thälmann Island, which had been dedicated by Cuba to Weimar German politician Ernst Thälmann and had not been mentioned in the Treaty on the Final Settlement or by the nation of Cuba either, therefore it remains East German land, allowing the war to continue with no end in sight.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Environmental policies==<br />
In March 2007, Molossia led the way in the environmental arena by banning incandescent lightbulbs.<br />
<br />
In January 2009, Molossia also banned plastic shopping bags and began a comprehensive recycling program.<br />
