Hump Day History
Outside of Dayton, NV is the micronation of Molossia, governed by President Kevin Baugh. Established in 1998 when he bought the land, he continues to pay property taxes to Storey County, but considers it "foreign aid." The government claims to be at war with the former state of East Germany. Although East Germany no longer exists, the Republic of Molossia believes that Ernst Thalmann Island, not mentioned in the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, is still East German land. Plastic bags and incandescent light bulbs are banned in Molossia. Onions and spinach are also banned. Their currency is called Valora, printed on linen strips. One tube of Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is equal to 5 Valora. 30 people live on this property, and visitors are allowed through RSVP - your passport will be stamped! Of course, sovereignty is not recognized by Nevada or the UN. https://www.molossia.org/
