USPA NEWS - Started by Kevin Baugh in 1977 as a school project, the Republic of Molossia is a "dictatorship" in northern Nevada described as a "hobby" by it's de facto ruller : His Excellency President Kevin Baugh...
He calls Molosia an "Enclave Nation" being surrounded by the United states, and while the country has a Constitution and a National Assembly, Kevin Baugh claims martial law to the "Ever present foreign threat" of the United States.

To make things straight, he wrote a note to teachers :
"Regardless whether or not you consider Molossia a nation, it is in fact a physical location, our home in western Nevada. We have actual land, real weather, real flowers and trees, real animals and real humans that live here. You can indeed visit us, much as you can visit anyone's home, if invited..."
"...Simply because we don't have airport does not disqualify us as a real location - you can't land a plane at your Grandmother's house either, yet you can indeed travel there, can't you ? There are several other examples of this sort of distinction, all of which fail to grasp that this is a real place, even if it is not a "real" country..."

"...I would suggest that, instead of using Molossia as an example of a "bogus" website, use it instead as an example of what defines a real nation...
...Molossia's website can be utilized to discuss subjects such as the Declarative Theory of Statehood, Constitutive Statehood, diplomacy and diplomatic recognition, the sovereignty of Dependent Nations (such as Indian Reservations), enclaves and exclaves, and sovereignty in general..."

August 11, 2015 an official statement from Khamsin Molossia News :
"The name Molossia was chosen at random in 1998 as a replacement for the old name for our nation, Vuldstein. Molossia was chosen without the knowledge that there was an ancient Greek nation named Molossia, which was destroyed by the Romans in 168 BC. When our government was made aware of the original nation of Molossia efforts were made to connect modern Molossia with that nation..."
August 22, 2015 A statement from Khamsin Molossia News :

"In a stunning attack during the evening of 22 August 2015 XXXVIII an assassination attempt was perpetrated upon our beloved President. While out shopping in the U.S. with the First Family, His Excellency was gouged by a booby trapped bottle of grape jelly. The bottle had clearly been tampered with; upon investigation a large hole was discovered in the lid, the sharp edges of which sliced into Our President's finger...
...Further investigation showed that the bottle had been deliberately infected with mold, in an obvious effort to poison His Excellency. It was only through the lightning reflexes of Our Leader that he narrowly avoided greater harm. At this time an investigation is ongoing as to the would-be assassins, but of course East German agents are suspected."

1 August 2015 News the Republic of Molossia
On Tuesday, 14 July 2015 XXXVIII, actor Jack Black visited Molossia along with an esteemed filmmaking team, including Jared Hess, Damon Ross, Keith Nelleson, Spencer Berman, Brandt Andersen & Dave Hunter. This talented group came to our country not only because it is a unique place to visit but also as part of preparation for an upcoming movie they will be creating, called "Micronations". Inspired in part by Molossia, Micronations will feature Jack Black as the re-luctant minister of war for a Nevada-based micronation that comes into conflict with local law en-forcement. It is bound to be as quirky & humorous as some of Jared Hess' previous movies, which include "Napoleon Dynamite"&"Nacho Libre".
