Speaking of Minneapolis, a guy I know from the western Mesabi Iron Range has declared his house and yard apartment in Minneapolis as the sovereign nation of Greatlandia, citing distrust over the federal government’s inability to function. He and friends are crowd-sourcing funding to pay for the nascent nation.
Their primary accomplishment so far seems to be attempting to force Minneapolis mayoral candidates to release statements about Greatlandia, with a shocking amount of success. I cannot in good conscience encourage you to give them money but feel you should be aware of this.
UPDATE: Greatlandia is, in fact, a second floor apartment.

GreatLandia is delighted to be called nascent.
My only worry is that Garth Brooks sues you over the use of the letter G like that, like he tried to do to Warren G that one time.
Actually we live in St. Paul…..
There is also no “they” involved. This was one person’s idea, and that person definatly was not me.
