As Nimis's existence is not sanctioned by Sweden, it is difficult to find - there are no official sign posts in Sweden, nor is it marked on maps. It lies a few kilometers northwest of the town of Arild and somewhat farther from the town of Mölle, and can only be reached on foot following a well-worn path with yellow ''N''s painted on trees and fences. The path begins as an easy stroll past Himmelstorp, a well-preserved eighteenth-century farmstead, but quickly becomes a steep and rocky climb down to the coast. | As Nimis's existence is not sanctioned by Sweden, it is difficult to find - there are no official sign posts in Sweden, nor is it marked on maps.

==Death of founder== | |||
The founder of Ladonia, Lars Vilks, had been living under police protection since 2007 when he published a cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad as a dog. The sketch caused an international outrage, leading al-Qaeda to offer a $100,000 reward for his murder. In response, the Swedish government assigned protective agents to guard Vilks as round-the-clock bodyguards. | |||
On 3 October 2021, the civilian police vehicle Vilks was riding in was struck by a truck near the town of Markaryd in southern Sweden. Vilks and his two bodyguards were and killed in the collision. Police investigators determined there was no foul play and the incident was declared an accidental death. Vilks was 75-years-old at the time of his death. | |||
