Molossia (/moʊˈlɒsiə/), officially the Republic of Molossia,[1] is a micronation claiming sovereignty over 1.3 acres (0.53 ha; 5,300 m2)[2] of land near Dayton, Nevada. The micronation has not received recognition from any of the 193 member states of the United Nations.[3][4][5][6] It was founded by Kevin Baugh.[4] He continues to pay property taxes on the land to Storey County, the recognized local government, although he calls it "foreign aid".[7] He has stated "We all want to think we have our own country, but you know the United States is a lot bigger".[7]
