Molossia, officially the Republic of Molossia, is a North American territorial microstate landlocked within the city of Dayton, Nevada. One of the oldest micronations of the modern era, it succeeded the Grand Republic of Vuldstein, founded by James Spielman and 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 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.
