Hutt River Province Principality: This Independent State of which HRH Prince Leonard is Sovereign, is located in the West of the Australian continent.

In 1970 Leonard Casley was outraged at the government's decision to impose new grain quotas on his wheat and sheep farm. So Leonard Casley, along with his wife Shirley and seven kids, took their property out of Australia – they seceded. The property was renamed the Hutt River Province and Leonard and Shirley became Prince and Princess. Hutt River has survived as a busy tourist destination and the Casley's manage to keep farming as well. Thirty-three years after secession, Prince Leonard and his Province are still going strong.
