| Ladonia is a micronation that has existed since it succeeded from Sweden in 1996. See: http://www.ladonia.net/docs/history.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladonia_(micronation) I became aware of them in 2002 and was granted citizenship. I applied for and was denied a position as an Admiral in their Coast Guard (even though I had my own boat). To prove my worth, as a free agent, I claimed Blake Island for them as the 'Ladonian Isle of Blake' (after getting the approval of the Tilicum Indians). The Ladonians were ecstatic and granted me the title of Royal Ladonian Naval Admiral of Nautical Discovery (and land acquisition). For the last 8 years I have been claiming small islands around the globe for Ladonia, sometimes no more significant than a rock or coral sticking out of a lagoon. Recently the position of Minister of Danger and Unexpected Phenomenon became available and I applied for the position. After a month long review process of candidates and credentials , the Royal Ministry of Ladonia awarded the position to me just yesterday. Long live Ladonia! ~Admiral Schwarz, Minister of Danger and Unexpected Phenomena |
