Really didn't need a funky title for this one, as it kinda speaks for itself. 

But yes, we were surprised and tickled to discover that in the early 2000's, in protest to Australia's laws regarding same sex marriage, a group of Gay activists broke off from Australia, claimed a tropical Island as compensation for discrimination, declared themselves a Nation for Queer Folk the globe over and then declared War on the Australian government. 

We present to you The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands

The Truth is Queerer than fiction :)

It was such a fabulous story it had to be told. 

We also visit another Micro Nation here in New Zealand and revisit our own abandoned and neglected Nation State.
