'''Talossa''', also known as the '''Kingdom of Talossa''', is one of the earliest [[micronation]]s. It was founded in 1979 by 14-year-old Robert Ben Madison of Milwaukee and at first confined to his bedroom. He adopted the name after discovering that the word means "inside the house" in Finnish. Its internet and media exposure since the late 1990s influenced many subsequent micronations. | '''Talossa''', also known as the '''Kingdom of Talossa''', is one of the earliest [[micronation]]s.
