This is world’s smallest country, home to just 33 people, tourists here can visit only for 2 hours, it is located in…, name is…
In a world full of countries big and small, there’s one tiny nation that stands out for its uniqueness and it is called Molossia. Located in the U.S. state of Nevada, this little “country” is home to just 33 people. It’s not recognized by any other nation, but that hasn’t stopped it from having its own flag, currency, traditions, and a president who takes care of everything himself.
Molossia’s story began in 1977, when a man named Kevin Baugh, along with a friend, decided to declare his home an independent country. Yes, they turned a normal American house into a self-proclaimed nation. And to this day, Molossia proudly continues as a micronation.
Though it may not appear on world maps or have embassies, Molossia feels like a real country to those who visit. Tourists are welcomed, but only for two hours at a time. And just like in any other country, visitors must get their passports stamped before they can enter.
Everything in Molossia runs under Kevin’s rule. He is the President, and every resident is part of his family. Together, they manage all affairs of the nation from cleaning the streets to giving guided tours. There are small but essential facilities like a store, library, and even a cemetery.
When tourists arrive, President Kevin himself takes them around, explaining Molossia’s history, buildings, and quirky rules. He even wrote the country’s national anthem and laws, and designed the flag.
Despite its tiny size, Molossia has gained fame online. People search for it on Google using terms like “world’s smallest country”, and travel bloggers love covering it. Photos of its flag, passport stamps, and tours have made their way across social media, attracting curious travelers from around the world.
