Micronations

This week on Ordinary Observations Mark & Jack go one smaller and dig into a few noteworthy micronations from around the globe. Mark begins with explaining why he would rather not talk about Freetown Christiania, the 'international community commune' surrounded by what most people call Copenhagen. Jack takes us through one of the most unique micronations; Sealand. With its beginning as a British defence fort during WWII, period as a pirate radio hosting platform, and now sovereign nation, complete with outrageous stories of armed resistance, treason, and international diplomacy. Next up, Mark tries to explain why Malossia, a self determined enclave within Nevada also claims dominion over 50,000 acres on Venus. We also wonder the logistics of their cookie-dough based currency. Finally, Jack leads us through the Other World Kingdom, probably the world's first 'Slave-Holding Matriarchal Monarchy', a BDSM & Femdom resort complete with all the utilities you might imagine come along with that, and maybe a some you wouldn't. All this and more on this episode of Ordinary Observations!
