1. Kingdom of Elleore

1. 艾里欧里王国

Kingdom of Elleore, on the island of Elleore, Roskilde Fjord, Denmark, which was purchased by a group of Copenhagen teachers in 1944 as a summer camp, but it turned into a gentle parody of the government structure and royal traditions of Denmark. The novel Robin Crusoe is banned on the island, and everyone uses Elleore Standard Time, which is 12 minutes behind Danish time. It has had six monarchs in the last 70 years.

2. Celestia

2.星空王国

Celestia (or The Nation of Celestial Space), created by James Thomas Mangan in Evergreen Park, Illinois, on January 1, 1949, claiming all of outer space.

星空王国由詹姆斯·托马斯·曼根于1949年1月1日在美国伊利诺斯州的常青公园建立，并声称统治所有的外太空。曼根曾给美国、联合国、英国和苏联写信，禁止他们进一步对大气进行测试，并警告他们不要侵占他所谓的“领土”。

The nation had more than 19,000 citizens in 1959 (after a booklet was published about Celestia), but it may have become defunct after the death of Mangan in 1970.

Eight years later the Principality was established, and Roy led this until his death two years ago at the age of 91. He named his son Michael as the new leader of the nation.

西兰公国是二战时为保护英国不受德国入侵而建立的，当时叫做怒涛堡垒。它距离萨福克郡海岸6英里（约10公里）左右。此地在1967年被一个叫做帕迪·罗伊·贝茨的英国海盗之声的播音员及其家人占领，8年后建立了公国，由派迪·罗伊·贝茨领导，直到其在两年前去世，享年91岁。当时，他任命他的儿子迈克尔作为这个国家新的领导人。
