Talossa was founded as a kingdom on 26 December 1979 by Robert Ben Madison, shortly after the death of his mother. Madison maintained Talossa throughout his adolescence, publishing a handwritten newspaper and designing a flag and emblem. During this time its only citizens were about a dozen relatives and acquaintances. This changed in the mid-1990s, when a series of stories in the ''New York Times'' and ''Wired'' brought mainstream attention to Talossa's website. | Talossa was founded as a kingdom on 26 December 1979 by Robert Ben Madison, shortly after the death of his mother.
