Talossa, also known as the Kingdom of Talossa, is one of the earliest micronations. 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. During MicroCon 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, Grand Duke Travis was introduced to Munditenens (Dien) Tresplet, the Royal Governor of Talossa's Pengöpäts Antarctic Territory. After lengthy discussion, the Royal Governor joined hands with Grand Duke Travis and Baron Omar Cisneros, the representative from Flandrensis, and agreed to peacefully resolve any conflicts concerning their competing Antarctic claims.
