'''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. | |||
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. | |||
Molossia has been a [[sovereignty|sovereign state]] since 1977 and has been in a state of war with East Germany since 1983. Appearing on the "Lonely Planet Guide to Home-Made Nations", Molossia is well known outside the micronational community and receives dozens of tourists each year. | |||
