I would like to see those Eagles. And aren't you
kind of bored with Kansas City? Like yes, enough, enough's enough.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Just a little little tidbit about me. I don't watch NFL,
but every year I've guessed the winning Super Bowl champion
every year.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
How do you decide?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Every year? I'm gonna say Kansas is gonna win, but
I'm shooting shooting for Pennsylvania and I will be watching
that Sunday. So I loved it when not Pennsylvania. Well,
Philadelphia Eagles, I guess I loved it when they won
a few years ago and I was down at Appleby's,
(03:56):
our local joint, and I was the only one cheer
in for him, and I'm like, I'm telling you all,
I've picked this for numbers of years and I've always
picked the winner. And they're like, you need to bet,
you need to bet. I'm like, the first time I bet,
I'll lose. So I'm not betting on the super Bowl.
But I'm gonna say I hate to say Kansas is
gonna win, but I'm gonna cheer for the Eagles.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I wasna Eastern Kentucky. Y'all don't have football team? Who

guest tonight. Mm hm like, I never knew that there
was like a micronation or anything in the United States,
and I thought like I was pretty big in history.
I do have a minor in Guild in America in college,
and I loved American history and I never knew that
(05:33):
this came on. Like I saw a random TikTok video
about two months ago or something. I'm like, what in
the world is this.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I was surprised when you told me who we were
gonna have on say that again, but a little slower,
and sure enough, I have researched this amazing individual that decided, Hey,
you know what, let's start our own country. Let's just
do it. You know everybody talks about we're going to
do it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Canybody yet I.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Want to start my own country right here on Main Street.
And actually, like, I need your passport before you come
to my house.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
You can't just make it, you have to take it
by force.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Well, we're gonna talk about this. This is so interesting
in many many ways. It is located in Nevada. Before
we bring our guests on, his president Kevin Ball. He's
the president of this is location since nineteen ninety nine.
But it's been in formation. I think since nineteen seventy
seven or late seventies before. We're going to play the
(06:35):
national anthem for him. And when this is ever, he'll
be on the screen. Anybody's watching via. But we're going
to respect the nation of Malaysia. This is amazing and awesome.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
So here we go.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
And there we have it, the.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Anthem for the Republic of Milasia and we have President
his Excellency Kevin Ball with us tonight. Thank you Kevin
so much, or President Ball, I should say so much
for coming on our show. We appreciate you. That was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:32):

We were truly appreciate it.

as well. We appreciate your viewership. Please share this out.
It helps our guests, it helps our show, it helps
our network that we're on. We love y'all. We appreciate
you so Kevin Ball, President Kevin Ball, I have so
(09:11):
many questions, so I heard so, Oh my gosh, you
started a country in the United States and no one
really knows about this at all. Well that happened.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I mean, actually a lot of people know about it,
but not.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah maybe at East Coast, maybe the government people know,
but like I'm in the East Coast. We're both in
the East Coast and myself, so maybe East coasters might
not know about.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
This, might not. I mean, we have a pretty good
Twitter and Facebook, we even have we don't have TikTok.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
We're getting out, Okay, everyone's gonna know about this amazing
powerhouse of a country of Milassia, and the rest the
country is going to take notice, all right. I promise
you that we're coming out of the world.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I have a part current politics in the United States.
I'll just put that little tab in there.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Yeah, he's gonna have You're gonna have a lot of
a lot of political refugees comings soon. So let me
let me ask. Let me start here. Sure, I think
every every I say every everybody, right, everyone's always had
the dream of man, I'm going to start my own country.
For me, it's I've always wanted an island right on
an island somewhere. I don't. I don't even much give
(10:31):
me a little island. Sure, you start your own country
and you decide to make it a republic and you're
the president, Why did you not choose to go the monarchy.
I'm going to be the king of this nation.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Well, we'll see. It originally started out as a kingdom.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
It was it was known as the Grand Republic, even
though it was a kingdom, the Grand Republic of Wolstein
back in nineteen seventy seven when it was founded and
we had a king, King James, and I was I
was the prim mister.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
But King Jay's moved on to other things.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
I stayed with the idea of having our own country,
and in the late nineteen nineties, once we got territory
here within northern Nevada, I changed the name to the
Republic of Malassia. Republics fit me better. There are a
lot of micronations out there. Malassie is what's called a micronation,
which is a tiny self declared country, and most of
(11:24):
them are kingdoms or I don't know, duchies. There's some empires,
all that kind of thing. I didn't really want to
be king. I wanted something different. And so Milassia is
a republic at least in name. Now I am actually
the dictator of our nation. So Malassia is basically ship.
But most you know, most dictatorships are known as republics,
(11:45):
at least in name, if not in practice.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, that was one of my questions I wanted to ask.
I want to know if you, if you consider yourself
a dictator of other people in that community, considers yourself
a dictator, it will you know, from American standpoint, dictators
are kind of bad. But honestly I would come of
live in Malasia.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Well, I mean, our dictatorship or Malassia itself is sort
of modeled on I guess you could say a time
in American politics when dictatorships were not all that bad
as long as they weren't communists. And so there was
a time when the US noddled up to or the
other way around, to dictators pretty much all over the
(12:29):
world as long as they didn't support support communism. Somewhere
pretty rough. But I am actually a benevolent dictator here
in Malaysia. My citizens are very happy that I'm in
charge of the country because that means that they're not
and they much rather have someone else be in charge
and not them, So I guess it's a dictatorship by acclaim.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Well, and you raised up in this you were prime
minister before you became the president. Yes, So how old
were you because the nineteen seventies is not really that
far away. My son would say, that's antique.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
This is the.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
It's coming up on forty six years ago, so it's
a little ways away. I was fifteen.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, I'd love to know more about that, and just
doing a little bit of research. So you were military,
I was okay, what Brench? What year was that? And
where were you?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I was in the United States Army and then the
Nevada Army National Guard for a total of twenty seven years.
Oh wow, thank you for your service with Melassia. But
you know, those two or two separate things, and that's okay.
I'm retired from the military now.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
So maybe okay. And so you and King James decide, hey,
we are going to start our own empire. Like how
does that conversation start?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Like, well, we saw this old movie, this Peter Seller's
movie called The Mouse That Roared. The movie was actually
made in nineteen sixty and we're really.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Influenced by the imagination and creativity of this tiny country
that is the centerpiece of the movie. And so we
decided we were going to start our own nation, you know,
like I said, inspired by that movie, to start our
own nation. And like I said, he was the king,
I was Prime Minister, and I just stayed with it
and we continued to do our thing for a little
(14:21):
whi until he moved on to the things. And I've
always been intrigued by you know, politics and geography and
so forth like that, and I just really enjoyed the
idea of having a country and then what you could
do with that idea, which is really, I think what
most micronations are.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
So the mantle was handed down to you, correct.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I think the mantle was probably always me. King James
wasn't really as into it as I was, So it's
kind of always been me since nineteen seventy seven, well
since you were fifteen, yes, fifteen, yes.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Okay, So we're talking about military and things like that.
I wanted to know, like do you have law enforcement there,
like the population, who gets in trouble? What's allowed into
this country? Like do you have rules at constitution like
all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Well, that's a lot. So let's start from the beginning.
We do have law enforcement, but first to say that
Malassie is a very law by any countries, so we
don't really need too much law enforcement. But our Chief Constable,
who is our daughter, she's nineteen now, she is in
charge of law enforcement here in the Republican Melassea. We
have a lot of our own laws and our own rules.
(15:32):
And then of course, just to keep the peace between
us in the United States, we kind of tend to
follow their rules too, because they're much bigger than us.
We don't on but you know, roll up the driveway
and squash this one day, that'd be kind of a
bad thing. So anyway, but yeah, so and we have
our own laws, we have our own culture, we have
a lot of holidays.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Pretty much everything that a country has we have here
in the Republican Malassee.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
So with your military background, also, do you have a
military base in Milassia.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yes, Melossia has the Malossian Navy, that's right. Even though
we're in the middle of the Nevada Desert, we have
our own navy, which is composed of inflatable kayaks that
we actually take out on nearby lakes over the border
in the US.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Theoretically the United States with your navy.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Well, I mean we don't really invade. We just conduct
military exercises on nearby waters.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
We have a question from a viewer. I'm sure she
means this, what does a house go for Malasi? What's
the house values there? Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Well, I mean I don't know. We only have one
house and it's paid for.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
So so what's the population in Malaysia?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
The total population is thirty five and that's all all
family members. Lassia is a family nation. Oh okay, So
you can't like come in from another place and be
a Molossian citizen. I guess maybe you know, if you
marry a you know, one of our kids or grandkids
or something like that, you can.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
But that's about it.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Tell me about tourism do we have.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
We welcome tourists to Malassia because we're such a small country.
We do it on defined days, so you can't just
like wander in any time. We actually have I think
seven tours a year on Saturdays, like the third Saturday
or something like that, April through October. So basically during
better weather when it's not you know, cold or snowy
or something like that and we average about two hundred
(17:30):
plus tourists a year. They come week overweight to build that.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We need to build that definitely need to So the
one house thing I do have a question on that
when we can go back more into tourism here is
that the Presidential House.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, we call the Government House.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, like we have the White House. So you.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Well, actually, actually I have two offices.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I have an office inside Government House and then I
have the presidential office in a place that we call
Red Square, which is outside uh outside government houses. It's
where most of our government buildings are. The Malassia Post Office.
We have a trading post there, trading company, as well
as my own office. We even have our own bar
and grill there in in Red Square.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
So do you have a hotel?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
We don't have a hotel. We've gone back and forth
about that.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
But we're such a small country that if we start
welcoming people overnight and so forth be kind of invasive.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
So we don't. We don't. But there's there's a combinations
over the border in the US. They might be might
be more enjoyable than staying here in Malaysia.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Sandy made a comment, if you were to launch an
online course on how to do this, which you did,
you would be a millionaire in a month.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
And I can actually there is I actually have a
web page out there that kind of gives you, I
wouldn't say a step by step, but close to a
step by step of how to start your own nation.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
It's really not that hard, is.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
That on the web page, the Malausea web page.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, it's on our website and there's like some extra
extra links and it's got a thing it says, how
to start your own micronation?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
And that what is your What is your relationship with
other micronations across the globe?
Speaker 6 (19:14):
We have friendly but informal relations with other micronations. We
don't engage in formal diplomacy. We just tend to be
friends with them. Micronations tend to go, come and go
rather rapidly, so if you had all formal with diplomacy,
you're gonna lose track really quickly.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Who's still even around?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
When I mentioned that Malassia was founded when I was fifteen,
that's like the average age for micro nationalists. The difference
is that that's been forty six years ago now and
I stuck with it, and a lot of micro nationalists.
They don't necessarily they drift off to other things or
whatever might come back.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
To it later in that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Is there another micro nation in the United States that
we're not aware.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Of or there are probably hundreds? Actually? Yes, absolutely, just
go to Micron you're going to come up with so
many of them. If they have websites.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
There A lot of them are don't have a website
that they'll be on like Facebook or Instagram something like that,
you know, on social media primarily that's the platform for them.
But there are several webs of several micro nations that
you can actually visit in the United States besides Malassia,
different levels of seriousness in what they do. For example,
(20:29):
there's one called Slow Jamastan, which is down in southern
California basically is based off of Malassia. They came visit
us in the start of their own nation, and the
ruler of Slow Jamastan actually has his own radio show.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Well, I haven't. I had a friend message to me,
had a friend message to me, and this is funny.
He knows way more about Malasia than I do. And
I tell him not to tell anything because I'm learning
this straight from you. He wanted me to ask one
question because he's not gonna be able to watch because
he's working kick as.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Okay, tell us about April ninth.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
That was a long time ago. Now, wow, did not
know about that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I did not know that.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
What happened was The official story was that the kick
Assia people invaded Melassia and took over, threw me out
as president and uh. Then they basically ran the country
for a short time till they decided it was too hard,
and then they quit and put me back in charge
of my own country. That's the official story.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Now.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
The actuality is kick Assia was founded by a bunch
of guys from a website called that go Out with
the Glasses dot com. There are a bunch of video
game reviewers and UH and movie reviewers and so forth,
and they gathered once a year in various places. We
were I think their second anniversary gathering, and they made
a movie about throwing me out and and UH and
(22:00):
taking over the country called kick Assia. I really recommend it.
It's a lot of fun. It was a lot of
fun to film when they were here, and so check
it out. It's on YouTube. I'm pretty sure it's on
YouTube about an hour and a half. It was a
lot of fun, it really was. And the irny is
(22:21):
a lot of people thought that Melassia was founded too
as a part of kick Assia, as a part of
the movie, but we were around, of course, way before that,
and they just sort of came in and made us
a little bit better known.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Catherine question, is this just a way to avoid paying
US taxes?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Actually, no, we do pay US taxes, but we call
them for an aid, so we we give the United
States for an aid every year.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And I mean, you've seen their roads. They need all
the help they can get, so we are there for them.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
The President ken in Appalachia to message me, I will
give you a tour.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
That changes a lot of my plans because I had
already planned on shipping up one of those little uh
micro houses to the corner of Malaysia and setting up shops.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So no, I was thinking about the same thing Rick,
like a small home like.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
One of those. If he's got good Wi Fi, we
can do the show from Milasia. Yes, yeah, we're earning
income in another country. I can't task that. A lot
of fun.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Come on out, Come on out and see us and
and uh, yes.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
The Fama is known for Vegas. Do you have casinos
in Malaysia.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
No, there's no casinos in Malasia. Again, we tried not to.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
We tried to run a foul of the US and
their laws and in the state of Nevada, because casinos
are big business. You don't mess around with that. You
either have a license or you just stay right out
of it. You get in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So this not switched us over to money talks. Okay,
So we had so many missage messages. I know this
backstory of this because I've researched you a little bit
and you watch some videos. But we have Jerry on here.
Ask about what is the deal with the cookie dough?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
That goes with the money right the current Okay, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Malassia's money is called the volora, which means valuable in
our second language Esperanto. And it is based not on silver, golder, platinum,
anything useless like that. Note, it's based on chocolate chip
cookie dough from the cookie dough standard here in the
public of Malassea. We like doing things a little bit differently.
That's it. As the first lady likes to say it,
(24:35):
we're rolling in the dough. Got that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That as a T shirt.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
That was actually part of our culture here in Malassia.
And so what we will do occasionally is have what's
called cookie dough fists where we eat raw cookie dough,
which is now safer than it used to be.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yes, rock cookie dough, and watch bad monster movies. So
it's kind of.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Is an absolute paradise something like that. Yeah, do you
need a passport to enter Milasia by Jerry, No, you.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Don't really have to have a passport. We encourage it.
It's surprising number of our visitors actually do bring their passports,
even though they're just from right over the border in
the US. We encourage it, and we'll definitely stamp your
passport if you come visit our country.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Okay, so it's not necessary. Because I send this out
to a bunch of friends and they live out West,
I'm like, we're gonna go visit that. We're gonna said,
I think you need to have a passport, so they
don't necessarily.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Have to have have to.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
But it's a lot more fun because we stamped the passport,
you know, and that way you get that feel of
leaving the US and visiting a foreign country.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
It kind of it feels like Vegas is a little
bit foreign country too. What happens in Vegas stays in
Vegas and makes me think that what happens in Malasia
stays in Malasia.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Well, yes, and no, pretty much anything happens here probably
going to go on one of our social media things.
So you know, if you come this and we take
your picture, it's gonna be blasted out there for everyone.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
See.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
So, do you have diplomatic immunity in the US? Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:10):
You know, I've never actually tested that theory, probably because
we don't really mess up too much more over there,
because they're kind of big and scary.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Does control your social media aka the propaganda Zara?
Speaker 6 (26:23):
That's primarily me and the first Lady. We're sort of
the folks that run pretty much everything with the Malassian government.
The rest of our citizens, like I said before, they're
just happy to let us go ahead and do it,
and they just go off and.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Do whatever your average citizen of your average country does.
But they're live.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
You mentioned you have a daughter who's nineteen. I assume
she went out of the country to go to school.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Yes, we don't have a school here in Melassia. We
have basically, well we had now that she's graduated, we
had basically two exports here in Milassia, garbage and our kids.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
So tell me about your kids going to school in
the United States of America and that and and when
they're at school and their friends find out that they
live in a different country, welcome.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Actually that was a little bit a little bit confusing,
especially for our daughter, Alexis, our chief constable, because she
grew up with Melassia, and when she would go to school,
she herself was a little bit confused when when the
teacher asked, well, you know, where do you live.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You know, schools are like a county thing, and there's
different communities. Where do you live?
Speaker 6 (27:33):
She's like, well, I live in Milassa. And so now
everybody in the local Story County school district knows where
Malassia is and knows what Malassia is.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Good for her one question, sorry, I got oh god.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
About this. We haven't tons.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
If I wanted to send you a letter, how would
I address that letter?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I have It's an addressing actually actually a contact page
on our website. Instead of me just like rallying off
here that no one's going to remember it. So you
go to our website just like a contact page. But
unfortunately it has to go through the US postal system
before it gets to us, because we're inside the United States,
within the United States.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
If you will. Uh so we have like a regular
street address that things get to look to and then
we take it from there.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
If we could get that change to Malasi, that would
be amazing, Like that would be you know, the icing
on the cake.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Absolutely, No, you're good.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Jerry has a question. Ask President Bob about joining the
navy in Milazia joined us.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Well, we used to have a program where you could
do that. We had a thing called the Malosseia and
Naval Academy, but then we had a problem with the
website and so some some kind of functionality issue, so
the Naval Academy no longer exists. We did for a
while for quite a while, have a lot of honorary
members of the Malaysia Maybe and we've even had a
few of them come visit Malasia and participating in naval exercises.
(29:06):
I would say in our nation, but we all know
it's not in our nation.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
This is amazing and mind blowing to me. I've never
heard of anything like this before. And I want to
say thank you. It's already seven thirty our time in
eastern centertime, so anybody's watching this via social media, we
appreciate you. We have President Kevin Ball, the president of
the Republic of Malaysia that's located in the state of Nevada.
He created a country that pretty much I mean, I
(29:34):
know the eastern side of US. I did not know
about this, and it was mind blowing to me when
I saw a little thing on TikTok about I'm like,
what the heck is this? I gotta find out. And
so if anybody's watching this right now, please please please
give us comments, ask questions, share this out. We love y'all.
Thank you for tuning in at one to seven point
seven FM, New Orleans. We love y'all. We were what
(29:54):
the Frick Live. I'm your host Emily and my other
host Rick is with us to not too so. Oh
my goodness. So the currency, I want to go to
currency and banking because you know, we we mentioned the
cookie dough, So is there a banking system with your currency?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
We have the banker Malossia and that's who issues our currency,
and that's who also uh, you know keeps track as
our you know repository of our of our cookie dough
that backs up the currency.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Uh and so yeah, of course, of course you as
an issue before.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
We have everything here in the republic, lassie, our own
puscle system, our own bank, our own currency. You already
heard the national anthem. I will say one thing. On
the opening, you had an interesting version of the Malossian
flag that doesn't actually exist. I don't know what that
is or where you got it.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
That's what you look up and it's like five fifteen images.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Yeah, it's the blue, white, and green, right, Like you
had like diagonal stripes with our with our our our
code of arms in the corner, and that's that's not it.
It's just basically blue for the sky, white for the mountains,
especially in the winter when there's snow, and green for
the desert, especially in the springtime when.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
No worries at all.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Well, that's one of my questions, because the United States flag,
the stars, the stripes, and everything means everything to us
here in the United States. So does those particular colors
and the stripes Does that mean anything to Malaysia? Oh?
Speaker 6 (31:28):
Yeah, sure, Like I said, the blues for the sky,
which we almost always have blue sky here in Molassia.
And the white again, it's for the mountains, which is
right all around our country, especially in the winter. There's
a lot of snow up there, hopefully not down here.
We don't really want it down here. And then the
green the bottom stripe is for the desert. In springtime
when the sage rush balloons, it turns sort of kind
(31:49):
of a lime green and it's really really pretty. So well,
if you're from here, it's really pretty. If you're not
from the desert, you probably don't appreciate it anyway.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I was thinking, like purity and.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yes, all those things too, Yes I don't. I don't
honestly remember all that. There is definitely purity and honor
and so forth like that for but it doesn't come
up as much as the as the blue sky and
so forth.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
For potential tourism. Right, walk me through the journey to
get to Malaysia, Like what your typical travel look like
for somebody.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Actually, we have a lot of well a lot of
our tourists that come are really from the local area,
from Reno or Carson City or something like that, or
they'll drive over from California, which is only about two
hours away.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
That kind of thing. But for other folks, some actually.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Fly in and they fly to the Reno Airport and
then they get get in a car and drive on
over to see us that are road tripping and they
travel across the US and they build their vacation around
our our travel days, our tourist days.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
I'm seeing, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
How far are you, guys from the Reno Airport?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
About thirty five miles?
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Okay like that?
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Yes, absolutely, And we're just down the road from the
Nevada town of Virginia City, famous from you know, the
old TV show Bananza and so forth. And so when folks,
you have done visiting our country, a tour of our
country only takes about an hour and a half. So
when folks are done visiting our country, encourage them to
go up the hill and go go visit Virginia City.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
How close are you to Area fifty one?
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Both Las Vegas and Area fifty one are about six
to eight hours south of Okay, Yeah, we're a long
way away from those places, but we've been by there.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
That counts.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
It counts.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
It counts when you look up, you know, Milaysia and everybody.
You know, when you're junior research figuring out, hey, there
is a country within the United States. You you find
this very intriguing story about the war that you're currently involved.
The way I I have, I'd love for you to
(34:02):
hear I have. I kind of want to tell the story,
but I would love to hear your version of exactly
what is going on, how that started, and where we
are today.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
Absolutely well, I'm glad you asked that question. It's kind
of a long story. I'm glad you're sitting down. So
up until nineteen ninety one, from the end of World
War Two, about nineteen ninety one, the nation of Germany
was divided basically into thirds, and the eastern third was
the country called East Germany, which was a communist country. Now,
(34:35):
when I was with the United States Army IO station
in then West Germany in the early nineteen eighties, I
was Prime Minister of Melossier back when it was called Voldstein.
And as armies tend to do, they would get us
up in the middle of the night, we jump on
our tanks, we head over and you know, be prepared
to repel the Communists for it, who fortunately actually never came,
but they woke me up once many times. So as
a Prime minister, I declared war on the nearest East
(34:58):
Block nation, which was the aforementioned East Germany Declaration and everything,
and then I forgot all about it until about i'd
say twelve years ago, going through the files and the
records of the Ministry at the closet, and I said, Wow,
there's a war decoration East Germany. Wow, gosh, e'st Germany's
long gone. And I discovered then, in fact, East Germany
is not long gone.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I thought, I thought East Germany was gone.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
No, that's what they want. That's what they want you
to believe. Emily, that's what they want you to believe.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Hear me out. Hear me out.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Okay, hear me the rest of the story here, Okay.
So I did little research and I discovered that the
nation of East Germany is not entirely gone. Even though
East West Germany unified in nineteen ninety one. Back in
nineteen seventy three, Fidel Castro of Cuba gave an island
off the coast of Cuba to East Germany to become
(35:53):
East German territory. Kind of a symbolic thing, but it
was still, you know, basically East German territory. Well, that
island was not mentioned in the unification treaty between East
and West Germany, and so it still exists as the
last remaining piece of the nation of East Germany. Now
that island is uninhabited except from marine iguanas, and they
(36:14):
just don't care. And so our war with East Germany
continues and has now gone on since nineteen eighty one.
So it was that forty forty one years something like that,
and we'll probably go on forever. We're basically eternally at
war with an uninhabited island off the coast of Cuba,
and that is our Eastern Wars.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
And you can buy war support for you to win
the war hold on.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
You can buy war bonds to support war bonds.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Yes, we do sell war bonds.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
We actually saw a lot of war bonds to support
our war against East Germany. It's kind of a mainstay
of our advisments.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
People probably don't even know that it's not no longer
there either, to be honest, it is.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
It is there, but it's not like how it was
no no nobody on the island. But that's why the
war goes on. If there was somebody there, we could
probably arrange peace. So that's why the warking team is
probably forever.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
You've got this beautiful island in the Caribbean. Maybe maybe
we get the navy team.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Maybe that should be Malazia, and we take it time.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Should the time ever come when the United States allows
tourism in Cuba, it's a good possibility that we'll travel.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
There and we will then arrange peace.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
But who knows what that's gonna happen, because that whole
thing comes and goes all the time. In the meantime,
we're pretty content to have the war go on. It
gives us an internal enemy with whom to be to
be perpetually warworth and we can blame all of our ills,
you know, something pipe versus something.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
We can blame those East Germany.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
But to get peace, what what would you settle for
President bah to have peace? What would the East Germans
East Germany have to do?
Speaker 6 (37:58):
I don't I mean, since there aren't any there's no
I think we will probably we probably have to go
there and uh just declare victory.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Over the Unavid Island and all the Iguanas.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
I mean to plant the Malaysian flag. Yeah, definitely, heart
of East Germany finally destroying You could be the person
who finally destroys communism, right, communism, Yes.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
And the that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
That's the story of our never ending war.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Well, speaking speaking of wars and other in not Germany
but Greek. Do you all have Olympic Games? Do you
all represent yourselves in Olympic Games?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
We don't.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
Not not in the Olympics that everybody, excuse me, everybody
knows about. But we actually hosted some micro national Olympic
Games back actually back in two thousand and then. There's
been some off and on ever since then that we
have occasion when they participated. But micro nation would be
games a little easier because that organizing the games like
(39:07):
the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Sorry'm wrutting this down and I'm at that age President
Ball that I have to write things down to remember
it so I can go back and look back at
this micro nation Olympic Games.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
Yeah, that that was a long time ago, twenty three
years ago. But it was a lot of fun. It
was kind of kind of like cat hurting.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
You know.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
It's tough to organize micronation micro nationalists because they're kind
of like do their own thing kind of people and.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
So, but it was fun, been a good time.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
The population of your country over the years, have you
seen it continuously expand was it ever larger? What was
the most people you had living in there at one?
Speaker 6 (39:50):
I think what we have right now our population of
thirty five. And just to note that not only are
we a family nation, but most Molosseans don't actually live
in our country is a very small country, and so,
but they live in the surrounding area over the border.
Of the years, we call them expatriates. But we are
continually expanding because our children are now having children, and
(40:11):
so it becomes one of those you know, exponential things
as kids have kids.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Yes, you have a line of success.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Yes, my first lady she is a few years younger
than me, so she is my designated successor. She says
she's going to change the flag to purple and pink
when I die, and then probably or possibly the Chief
Constable will be her successor, or perhaps one of our
grandkids something like that.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
So it really depends on who takes the interest and
who has the energy to keep the country going.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
This dream that you had forty something years ago, I
mean the legacy that you're leaving is quite impressive, especially
the fact so many people are are involved with this.
And with that, I'm on your website and going through
and you have a visitors and flag counter. Oh yeah,
(41:04):
uh huh, So you have lots of countries visit, you know,
and there's tens of thousands of people from multiple countries.
And then you have six hundred and eighty three thousand
people six hundred and eighty three thousand people clicks for
the United States. Oh yeah, but that's not the most No,
how in the world. What is China's fascination with Malaysia?
Speaker 6 (41:26):
You know, I don't know, but they absolutely love us there.
And we get a lot of correspondence from China, and
I said, a lot of sevil of your postcards that way.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
So almost seven hundred thousand clicks or views from China.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
We're definitely making China.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
So I have a question about the jail. I had
my paper bell. We also have a watch or watch
ask about the jail, talking about like does your earlier
previously is when when the children get in trouble, instead
of time out, they go to jail. What happens in
the jail in Malaysia?
Speaker 6 (42:09):
Again, Lassians are very well behaved people. But we actually
mostly use the jail for tourists when they come visit
the country. We'll put them in jail, take a picture,
and then they're back out. We actually give them a
get out of jail free card, just like from them
off Monopoly game.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Let's see here, Rick, you have a fall up with that.
I got to look at my my have checked off
a lot, so we've moved a lot in this show. Actually,
I'm very impressed about what we've been talking about.
Speaker 5 (42:40):
Your relationship with the local community, the town, the county
in Nevada. What's your relationship in terms of like the
leadership there, local county is it? Is it a positive
a positive relationship.
Speaker 6 (42:56):
But it's definitely a positive relationship. I would say fairly
well known in Nevada. But here, let's let's all practice
that together. Is not pronounced Nevada. Let's pronounce Nevada. Come on,
you guys can do it.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
The somebody from Jerseys in Nevada and.
Speaker 6 (43:17):
You pronounce the Nevada will probably kick you out. So wow,
But we do a we do have a positive relationship
with the nearest town is the town of Dayton, which
is just right over the border.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
From from Milassia, and then a little bit further on
is the is the capital city of Carson City.
Speaker 6 (43:37):
Every year in Carson City, we're gonna think called the
Nevada Day Parade, which is the celebration of Nevada statehood
admission to the Union back in eighteen sixty four. And
we are very very well received in the Nevadaday Parade.
We're always we're always in that parade, waving and smiling
and so forth. And then there's also a parade in
the town of Dayton and h and there we're very
well known on the on the Nevada Tourism website. If
(44:00):
you go to the Nevada Tourism website, you can click
on there. You will definitely find us. We're all over
the place on that website. So we're one of Nevada's
tourist attractions.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Now, I guess I say so. I mean, you're on
my bucket list definitely. Definitely, I'm coming coming from Alasia
for sure.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I mean, anybody who's out there, you know you're you're
driving through taking a road trip, especially anybody who finds
their way in Reno right like that would be an awesome,
little little detour for it. Try to plan it on
when you guys are open for tourism.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I definitely do that because we
have other things going on during the year. We really
fund with everybody too that wants to go visit to
those tourist dates because we have other stuff happening in
Melossia all the time.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
So that's people always want to visit us in the
winter and I don't even want to give a tour
of more country.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
When is there specific rules that we need to buy
b when we're in Malaysea.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
Oh, there's all kinds of different rules and actually I'll
read them to you when when you come visit. Uh,
it's kind of one of the things that we do
when you come to customer. The customers uh shack there
at the at the border. But there's a variety of rules.
Let's say you can't play the drums in the bathroom.
Let's see what else we have. Sunshine is guaranteed the
mass is not really a rule, but we definitely promise
(45:22):
that for you. And almost always there's sunshine and Melasia
our weather is perfect in Melossie, about seventy degrees. It
only rains at night when it's not inconvenient, but we're
so close to the US border that they're crappy. Weather
blows in all the time, so sometimes we have to
you know, we have to kind of deal with that.
So anyway, but yeah, and you have to keep the elephant,
your elephant on a leash if you've got one. There's yeah,
(45:44):
no Wallwar says things like that.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Well, we got some stuff like that in Kentucky. We
can't walk a chicken down Main Street at noon on weekdays.
Speaker 4 (45:54):
Oh yeah, absolutely weekend.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
In fact, quite a few of our of our weird
laws in Melassia were adopted, borrow borrowed from weird laws
over the border in the US.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (46:07):
For example, Uh, you can't let off a nuclear device
in our country unless except you get a very large fine.
That's actually adopted from Selinas, California. Now, I'm not sure
who's going to be left behind after you let off
atomic bomb?
Speaker 3 (46:19):
Yeah, you do you have any of that weaponry? There?
Are you considering.
Speaker 5 (46:27):
You have to protect themselves? That's a crazy world.
Speaker 6 (46:30):
We have a Malassia has a couple of muskets, so
I mean, think about our entire navy is inflatable kayaks.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
So I mean you too much. Shoot, and we're going
to sink.
Speaker 3 (46:45):
You.
Speaker 5 (46:45):
I remember reading you. Your public calendar is a very
exciting one. It has very unique holidays that you guys celebrate.
The Day of the Dude, I think is the one
that popped out at me. But can you share what
the inspiration of that was, and maybe some other exciting dates.
Speaker 6 (47:03):
The Day of the Dude is literally adopted from the
movie The Big Lebowski with Jip Bridges and and that's
the day we actually drink white Russians and go bowling.
Probably actually go bowling and they drink drink Russian anyway,
but actually have we have a lot of our own holidays,
and of course many that you would recognize from from
the American calendar.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (47:24):
Here in Melassa, we're a big fan of just about
any kind of holiday where there's food, because we do
like to eat, and so so we recognize, for example,
Chinese New Year, shout out to the folks from New Orleans.
We do Marty Grass that's come up here pretty soon,
I think, with the end of the month, and just
any number of different things as well. Of course recognizing
(47:44):
my own birthday that's President's Day, things like that. We
even have a dog a Day the day of what
the Running of the Dogs was to celebrate the dogs
of Melassia. Kentucky Derby Day.
Speaker 4 (47:57):
We do not have.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
We do.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
Well. We have wild horses a lot. They come through
a lot, but there's no horse races that needed to
be new.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
You of can watch it and just party and have
fun and get hats.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
We absolute best.
Speaker 5 (48:14):
They have a moonpie festival.
Speaker 6 (48:17):
Yes, yes, we sell it. We cell it right, moon
pies in Molassia and then we can get it. We'll
have the whole moon pie and RCA thing. But our
sea colt it's kind of hard to come by in
this area.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
The other the other micro nations that you guys have,
from what I remember is that there's there's like a
micro nation convention.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (48:40):
Is it a micro con?
Speaker 3 (48:41):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yeah? It's called micro con?
Speaker 5 (48:44):
How often is that?
Speaker 6 (48:45):
Whereas we actually have that every couple of years on
odd years. We had into in twenty twenty two because
we had to skip twenty one because of COVID. But
we're gonna have another one coming up in Chicago at
the beginning of the end of June. That will be
then next micro con and it's just really fun to
gather together, uh, just micro nationalists from basically all over
(49:05):
the world and get their ideas of what makes a
nation and uh and just sort of sort of a
meeting of ideas and so it's not like a more
like a convention rather than any than a like making
policy or anything like that. Kind of more like if
I get together and just just showing off your nation
and seeing what you've got and there, Like I said,
(49:26):
there's a lot of the micronations out there. I'm going
to pause for a second here, my phone is actually.
Speaker 4 (49:32):
About to die. I hate to tell you that. Let
me see if I can plug it in and we
can carry on something.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Okay, I'll take just let wave at.
Speaker 4 (49:40):
Me and let me know talk about there.
Speaker 3 (49:43):
Okay, there we go. Holy smokes, I still have two
more questions left. I like to try to squeeze in.
We got like eight more minutes left, and when can
let them go?
Speaker 5 (49:52):
I mean, I'm sure everyone else listening aspose myself as
like man, you know, like what am I going to
and aware am I going going to start a micronation?
And what am I going to celebrate? It's a lot
of dedication and devotion. So I applaud him for sticking
with it. You know, imagine everyone has like some crazy idea,
(50:13):
but you know he's stuck with it. Him and his
buddy came up with a good idea and their teens
and here he is still living that same dream. That's
impressive by itself.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
I want to know, hopefully, you're okay, right, President think so,
I think it's all right. Well, he's got about four
minutes left, hopefully, and we let you go and then
we close out our show. But if somebody wants to
move to Malaysia or I mean, can they build, you
won't allow them.
Speaker 6 (50:41):
To build again. Malasi is a family nation, Okay. We
have a lot of folks that want to come here.
We have inquiries every single day from far away lands.
But there's there's no room for additional citizens in our
tiny little country.
Speaker 5 (50:55):
So uh any opportunities to expand in the local community
into the United States.
Speaker 4 (51:01):
We have our eyes actually on a piece of property
over the border of the US, right across the street
from from US. I know we're to say, right across
the street from another country, but anyway, we might expand
there eventually, but again that would still be like family stuff.
That'd be where the where members of our family would live,
so in melass yet but anyway, So but yeah, no,
(51:22):
that's it. We're pretty limited on what we can have
and so we're happy with that.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
And I have I have one final question then, Rick,
I'll I'll let you close out. So can the US
come in and close you down? Like? What has to
happen if the US decides, hey, we don't like Malaysia,
we don't want them part, Like, what are they going
to do?
Speaker 5 (51:42):
Bring an army?
Speaker 6 (51:44):
Well, we certainly hope that that wouldn't happen. I mean,
we don't have any beef with the US and they
don't have any beef with us. They'd let us do
our own thing for almost forty six years now and
they haven't complained. You know, we don't cause any problems
or anything like that. I suppose if they came in
and you know, roll up the driveway with the you know,
bristling with weapons and law enforcement and so forth, we
probably have to you know, shut down the country. They're
(52:05):
bigger than us. Like I said, we only have two
muskets and we're not going to get in a shooting
contest with the United States that literally never ends.
Speaker 4 (52:12):
Well, so.
Speaker 5 (52:16):
Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Greatly appreciated
for everyone. I mean, there's a ton of information. Their
website is at Melassia dot org. Absolutely definitely check it out.
The pictures alone are fantastic. Tell us anything else worlds
can we kind of find find you and and interact
with you and your community, or we also have.
Speaker 6 (52:39):
Well again, we welcome tourists during our tourist days during
the warmer months. We have loss of social media Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
even tiktoks. The first lady started doing that for us
and so forth. The one closing thing hopefully the phone
doesn't die. I can't really tell what's going to but anyway,
(53:00):
the one closing thing is I would like to encourage
people to start their own micronation. It's not as crazy
as it sounds. It's a lot of fun. I mean,
it could be crazy if you take it too far.
Maybe you don't want to do that, so but it's
a lot of fun, and yeah, we encourage folks to
do it. Just use your imagination, creativity and hoist your
(53:22):
own flag, start your own country.
Speaker 3 (53:23):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (53:26):
No, yes, why not?
Speaker 3 (53:27):
And we can find that information on how to start
off your website, right, yes, absolutely absolutely, and courses President
in ball I think you need to do some courses there.
Maybe people will pay for that.
Speaker 5 (53:47):
All right, thank you very much for joining us this evening.
Speaker 4 (53:51):

Where do you start your own micronation? And what are
you going to name it.

on here making making comments too, so yeah, Republican, yes, yes, all.
Speaker 5 (54:41):
Right, that was a good one.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
That's awesome. I am telling you, I have never heard
of this before. It was mom belonging to me when
I was first, I was like, I never even thought
of a micronation within the United States.
Speaker 5 (54:52):
Do we have enough time?
Speaker 3 (54:53):
But I have questions still though, because this happened back
in the late seventies. That's a lot of cult stuff.
You know, we got Charles mans and everything. Could you
make my forro nation off a ranch?
Speaker 1 (55:05):
Like?
Speaker 3 (55:05):
I don't know I could go?
Speaker 5 (55:07):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (55:07):
True Cross Sail, a Killer all that kind of.
Speaker 5 (55:09):

drop that connection, especially when they started talking about Cuba
and Fidel Castro. I know she's going hard right now.
I don't know.

I have a bunch of friends. I'm in Jersey right
so we're not far from Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, so lots of
friends that love the Eagles. So just so that next
week can be exciting and I can be a part
of it and everyone has a smile on their face
even though it's South Jersey. I'm gonna have to say
(03:16):
I would like to see those Eagles. And aren't you
kind of bored with Kansas City? Like yes, enough, enough's enough.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Just a little little tidbit about me. I don't watch NFL,
but every year I've guessed the winning Super Bowl champion
every year.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
How do you decide?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Every year? I'm gonna say Kansas is gonna win, but
I'm shooting shooting for Pennsylvania and I will be watching
that Sunday. So I loved it when not Pennsylvania. Well,
Philadelphia Eagles, I guess I loved it when they won
a few years ago and I was down at Appleby's,
(03:56):
our local joint, and I was the only one cheer
in for him, and I'm like, I'm telling you all,
I've picked this for numbers of years and I've always
picked the winner. And they're like, you need to bet,
you need to bet. I'm like, the first time I bet,
I'll lose. So I'm not betting on the super Bowl.
But I'm gonna say I hate to say Kansas is
gonna win, but I'm gonna cheer for the Eagles.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I wasna Eastern Kentucky. Y'all don't have football team? Who
does that? Community? Like? Who is everybody's go to NFL team?
Speaker 3 (04:28):

We love y'all, We appreciate you. We have an amazing
guest tonight. Mm hm like, I never knew that there
was like a micronation or anything in the United States,
and I thought like I was pretty big in history.
I do have a minor in Guild in America in college,
and I loved American history and I never knew that
(05:33):
this came on. Like I saw a random TikTok video
about two months ago or something. I'm like, what in
the world is this.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I was surprised when you told me who we were
gonna have on say that again, but a little slower,
and sure enough, I have researched this amazing individual that decided, Hey,
you know what, let's start our own country. Let's just
do it. You know everybody talks about we're going to
do it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Canybody yet I.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Want to start my own country right here on Main Street.
And actually, like, I need your passport before you come
to my house.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
You can't just make it, you have to take it
by force.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Well, we're gonna talk about this. This is so interesting
in many many ways. It is located in Nevada. Before
we bring our guests on, his president Kevin Ball. He's
the president of this is location since nineteen ninety nine.
But it's been in formation. I think since nineteen seventy
seven or late seventies before. We're going to play the
(06:35):
national anthem for him. And when this is ever, he'll
be on the screen. Anybody's watching via. But we're going
to respect the nation of Malaysia. This is amazing and awesome.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
So here we go.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
And there we have it, the.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Anthem for the Republic of Milasia and we have President
his Excellency Kevin Ball with us tonight. Thank you Kevin
so much, or President Ball, I should say so much
for coming on our show. We appreciate you. That was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Thought that did you write that?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I actually wrote the lyrics.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I love it. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Thank
you for coming on the show.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We were truly appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So anybody has any questions during our live interview here
with President Kevin Baugh via social media, please please please ask.
We will try to get to those questions as soon
as well. We appreciate your viewership. Please share this out.
It helps our guests, it helps our show, it helps
our network that we're on. We love y'all. We appreciate
you so Kevin Ball, President Kevin Ball, I have so
(09:11):
many questions, so I heard so, Oh my gosh, you
started a country in the United States and no one
really knows about this at all. Well that happened.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I mean, actually a lot of people know about it,
but not.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah maybe at East Coast, maybe the government people know,
but like I'm in the East Coast. We're both in
the East Coast and myself, so maybe East coasters might
not know about.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
This, might not. I mean, we have a pretty good
Twitter and Facebook, we even have we don't have TikTok.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
We're getting out, Okay, everyone's gonna know about this amazing
powerhouse of a country of Milassia, and the rest the
country is going to take notice, all right. I promise
you that we're coming out of the world.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I have a part current politics in the United States.
I'll just put that little tab in there.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Yeah, he's gonna have You're gonna have a lot of
a lot of political refugees comings soon. So let me
let me ask. Let me start here. Sure, I think
every every I say every everybody, right, everyone's always had
the dream of man, I'm going to start my own country.
For me, it's I've always wanted an island right on
an island somewhere. I don't. I don't even much give
(10:31):
me a little island. Sure, you start your own country
and you decide to make it a republic and you're
the president, Why did you not choose to go the monarchy.
I'm going to be the king of this nation.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Well, we'll see. It originally started out as a kingdom.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
It was it was known as the Grand Republic, even
though it was a kingdom, the Grand Republic of Wolstein
back in nineteen seventy seven when it was founded and
we had a king, King James, and I was I
was the prim mister.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
But King Jay's moved on to other things.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
I stayed with the idea of having our own country,
and in the late nineteen nineties, once we got territory
here within northern Nevada, I changed the name to the
Republic of Malassia. Republics fit me better. There are a
lot of micronations out there. Malassie is what's called a micronation,
which is a tiny self declared country, and most of
(11:24):
them are kingdoms or I don't know, duchies. There's some empires,
all that kind of thing. I didn't really want to
be king. I wanted something different. And so Milassia is
a republic at least in name. Now I am actually
the dictator of our nation. So Malassia is basically ship.
But most you know, most dictatorships are known as republics,
(11:45):
at least in name, if not in practice.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, that was one of my questions I wanted to ask.
I want to know if you, if you consider yourself
a dictator of other people in that community, considers yourself
a dictator, it will you know, from American standpoint, dictators
are kind of bad. But honestly I would come of
live in Malasia.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Well, I mean, our dictatorship or Malassia itself is sort
of modeled on I guess you could say a time
in American politics when dictatorships were not all that bad
as long as they weren't communists. And so there was
a time when the US noddled up to or the
other way around, to dictators pretty much all over the
(12:29):
world as long as they didn't support support communism. Somewhere
pretty rough. But I am actually a benevolent dictator here
in Malaysia. My citizens are very happy that I'm in
charge of the country because that means that they're not
and they much rather have someone else be in charge
and not them, So I guess it's a dictatorship by acclaim.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Well, and you raised up in this you were prime
minister before you became the president. Yes, So how old
were you because the nineteen seventies is not really that
far away. My son would say, that's antique.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
This is the.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
It's coming up on forty six years ago, so it's
a little ways away. I was fifteen.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, I'd love to know more about that, and just
doing a little bit of research. So you were military,
I was okay, what Brench? What year was that? And
where were you?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I was in the United States Army and then the
Nevada Army National Guard for a total of twenty seven years.
Oh wow, thank you for your service with Melassia. But
you know, those two or two separate things, and that's okay.
I'm retired from the military now.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
So maybe okay. And so you and King James decide, hey,
we are going to start our own empire. Like how
does that conversation start?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Like, well, we saw this old movie, this Peter Seller's
movie called The Mouse That Roared. The movie was actually
made in nineteen sixty and we're really.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Influenced by the imagination and creativity of this tiny country
that is the centerpiece of the movie. And so we
decided we were going to start our own nation, you know,
like I said, inspired by that movie, to start our
own nation. And like I said, he was the king,
I was Prime Minister, and I just stayed with it
and we continued to do our thing for a little
(14:21):
whi until he moved on to the things. And I've
always been intrigued by you know, politics and geography and
so forth like that, and I just really enjoyed the
idea of having a country and then what you could
do with that idea, which is really, I think what
most micronations are.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
So the mantle was handed down to you, correct.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I think the mantle was probably always me. King James
wasn't really as into it as I was, So it's
kind of always been me since nineteen seventy seven, well
since you were fifteen, yes, fifteen, yes.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Okay, So we're talking about military and things like that.
I wanted to know, like do you have law enforcement there,
like the population, who gets in trouble? What's allowed into
this country? Like do you have rules at constitution like
all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Well, that's a lot. So let's start from the beginning.
We do have law enforcement, but first to say that
Malassie is a very law by any countries, so we
don't really need too much law enforcement. But our Chief Constable,
who is our daughter, she's nineteen now, she is in
charge of law enforcement here in the Republican Melassea. We
have a lot of our own laws and our own rules.
(15:32):
And then of course, just to keep the peace between
us in the United States, we kind of tend to
follow their rules too, because they're much bigger than us.
We don't on but you know, roll up the driveway
and squash this one day, that'd be kind of a
bad thing. So anyway, but yeah, so and we have
our own laws, we have our own culture, we have
a lot of holidays.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Pretty much everything that a country has we have here
in the Republican Malassee.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
So with your military background, also, do you have a
military base in Milassia.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yes, Melossia has the Malossian Navy, that's right. Even though
we're in the middle of the Nevada Desert, we have
our own navy, which is composed of inflatable kayaks that
we actually take out on nearby lakes over the border
in the US.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Theoretically the United States with your navy.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Well, I mean we don't really invade. We just conduct
military exercises on nearby waters.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
We have a question from a viewer. I'm sure she
means this, what does a house go for Malasi? What's
the house values there? Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Well, I mean I don't know. We only have one
house and it's paid for.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
So so what's the population in Malaysia?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
The total population is thirty five and that's all all
family members. Lassia is a family nation. Oh okay, So
you can't like come in from another place and be
a Molossian citizen. I guess maybe you know, if you
marry a you know, one of our kids or grandkids
or something like that, you can.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
But that's about it.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Tell me about tourism do we have.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
We welcome tourists to Malassia because we're such a small country.
We do it on defined days, so you can't just
like wander in any time. We actually have I think
seven tours a year on Saturdays, like the third Saturday
or something like that, April through October. So basically during
better weather when it's not you know, cold or snowy
or something like that and we average about two hundred
(17:30):
plus tourists a year. They come week overweight to build that.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We need to build that definitely need to So the
one house thing I do have a question on that
when we can go back more into tourism here is
that the Presidential House.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, we call the Government House.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, like we have the White House. So you.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Well, actually, actually I have two offices.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I have an office inside Government House and then I
have the presidential office in a place that we call
Red Square, which is outside uh outside government houses. It's
where most of our government buildings are. The Malassia Post Office.
We have a trading post there, trading company, as well
as my own office. We even have our own bar
and grill there in in Red Square.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
So do you have a hotel?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
We don't have a hotel. We've gone back and forth
about that.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
But we're such a small country that if we start
welcoming people overnight and so forth be kind of invasive.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
So we don't. We don't. But there's there's a combinations
over the border in the US. They might be might
be more enjoyable than staying here in Malaysia.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Sandy made a comment, if you were to launch an
online course on how to do this, which you did,
you would be a millionaire in a month.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
And I can actually there is I actually have a
web page out there that kind of gives you, I
wouldn't say a step by step, but close to a
step by step of how to start your own nation.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
It's really not that hard, is.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
That on the web page, the Malausea web page.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, it's on our website and there's like some extra
extra links and it's got a thing it says, how
to start your own micronation?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
And that what is your What is your relationship with
other micronations across the globe?
Speaker 6 (19:14):
We have friendly but informal relations with other micronations. We
don't engage in formal diplomacy. We just tend to be
friends with them. Micronations tend to go, come and go
rather rapidly, so if you had all formal with diplomacy,
you're gonna lose track really quickly.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Who's still even around?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
When I mentioned that Malassia was founded when I was fifteen,
that's like the average age for micro nationalists. The difference
is that that's been forty six years ago now and
I stuck with it, and a lot of micro nationalists.
They don't necessarily they drift off to other things or
whatever might come back.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
To it later in that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Is there another micro nation in the United States that
we're not aware.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Of or there are probably hundreds? Actually? Yes, absolutely, just
go to Micron you're going to come up with so
many of them. If they have websites.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
There A lot of them are don't have a website
that they'll be on like Facebook or Instagram something like that,
you know, on social media primarily that's the platform for them.
But there are several webs of several micro nations that
you can actually visit in the United States besides Malassia,
different levels of seriousness in what they do. For example,
(20:29):
there's one called Slow Jamastan, which is down in southern
California basically is based off of Malassia. They came visit
us in the start of their own nation, and the
ruler of Slow Jamastan actually has his own radio show.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Well, I haven't. I had a friend message to me,
had a friend message to me, and this is funny.
He knows way more about Malasia than I do. And
I tell him not to tell anything because I'm learning
this straight from you. He wanted me to ask one
question because he's not gonna be able to watch because
he's working kick as.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Okay, tell us about April ninth.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
That was a long time ago. Now, wow, did not
know about that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I did not know that.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
What happened was The official story was that the kick
Assia people invaded Melassia and took over, threw me out
as president and uh. Then they basically ran the country
for a short time till they decided it was too hard,
and then they quit and put me back in charge
of my own country. That's the official story.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Now.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
The actuality is kick Assia was founded by a bunch
of guys from a website called that go Out with
the Glasses dot com. There are a bunch of video
game reviewers and UH and movie reviewers and so forth,
and they gathered once a year in various places. We
were I think their second anniversary gathering, and they made
a movie about throwing me out and and UH and
(22:00):
taking over the country called kick Assia. I really recommend it.
It's a lot of fun. It was a lot of
fun to film when they were here, and so check
it out. It's on YouTube. I'm pretty sure it's on
YouTube about an hour and a half. It was a
lot of fun, it really was. And the irny is
(22:21):
a lot of people thought that Melassia was founded too
as a part of kick Assia, as a part of
the movie, but we were around, of course, way before that,
and they just sort of came in and made us
a little bit better known.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Catherine question, is this just a way to avoid paying
US taxes?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Actually, no, we do pay US taxes, but we call
them for an aid, so we we give the United
States for an aid every year.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And I mean, you've seen their roads. They need all
the help they can get, so we are there for them.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
The President ken in Appalachia to message me, I will
give you a tour.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
That changes a lot of my plans because I had
already planned on shipping up one of those little uh
micro houses to the corner of Malaysia and setting up shops.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So no, I was thinking about the same thing Rick,
like a small home like.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
One of those. If he's got good Wi Fi, we
can do the show from Milasia. Yes, yeah, we're earning
income in another country. I can't task that. A lot
of fun.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Come on out, Come on out and see us and
and uh, yes.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
The Fama is known for Vegas. Do you have casinos
in Malaysia.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
No, there's no casinos in Malasia. Again, we tried not to.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
We tried to run a foul of the US and
their laws and in the state of Nevada, because casinos
are big business. You don't mess around with that. You
either have a license or you just stay right out
of it. You get in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So this not switched us over to money talks. Okay,
So we had so many missage messages. I know this
backstory of this because I've researched you a little bit
and you watch some videos. But we have Jerry on here.
Ask about what is the deal with the cookie dough?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
That goes with the money right the current Okay, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Malassia's money is called the volora, which means valuable in
our second language Esperanto. And it is based not on silver, golder, platinum,
anything useless like that. Note, it's based on chocolate chip
cookie dough from the cookie dough standard here in the
public of Malassea. We like doing things a little bit differently.
That's it. As the first lady likes to say it,
(24:35):
we're rolling in the dough. Got that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That as a T shirt.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
That was actually part of our culture here in Malassia.
And so what we will do occasionally is have what's
called cookie dough fists where we eat raw cookie dough,
which is now safer than it used to be.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yes, rock cookie dough, and watch bad monster movies. So
it's kind of.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Is an absolute paradise something like that. Yeah, do you
need a passport to enter Milasia by Jerry, No, you.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Don't really have to have a passport. We encourage it.
It's surprising number of our visitors actually do bring their passports,
even though they're just from right over the border in
the US. We encourage it, and we'll definitely stamp your
passport if you come visit our country.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Okay, so it's not necessary. Because I send this out
to a bunch of friends and they live out West,
I'm like, we're gonna go visit that. We're gonna said,
I think you need to have a passport, so they
don't necessarily.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Have to have have to.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
But it's a lot more fun because we stamped the passport,
you know, and that way you get that feel of
leaving the US and visiting a foreign country.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
It kind of it feels like Vegas is a little
bit foreign country too. What happens in Vegas stays in
Vegas and makes me think that what happens in Malasia
stays in Malasia.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Well, yes, and no, pretty much anything happens here probably
going to go on one of our social media things.
So you know, if you come this and we take
your picture, it's gonna be blasted out there for everyone.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
See.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
So, do you have diplomatic immunity in the US? Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:10):
You know, I've never actually tested that theory, probably because
we don't really mess up too much more over there,
because they're kind of big and scary.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Does control your social media aka the propaganda Zara?
Speaker 6 (26:23):
That's primarily me and the first Lady. We're sort of
the folks that run pretty much everything with the Malassian government.
The rest of our citizens, like I said before, they're
just happy to let us go ahead and do it,
and they just go off and.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Do whatever your average citizen of your average country does.
But they're live.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
You mentioned you have a daughter who's nineteen. I assume
she went out of the country to go to school.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Yes, we don't have a school here in Melassia. We
have basically, well we had now that she's graduated, we
had basically two exports here in Milassia, garbage and our kids.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
So tell me about your kids going to school in
the United States of America and that and and when
they're at school and their friends find out that they
live in a different country, welcome.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Actually that was a little bit a little bit confusing,
especially for our daughter, Alexis, our chief constable, because she
grew up with Melassia, and when she would go to school,
she herself was a little bit confused when when the
teacher asked, well, you know, where do you live.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You know, schools are like a county thing, and there's
different communities. Where do you live?
Speaker 6 (27:33):
She's like, well, I live in Milassa. And so now
everybody in the local Story County school district knows where
Malassia is and knows what Malassia is.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Good for her one question, sorry, I got oh god.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
About this. We haven't tons.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
If I wanted to send you a letter, how would
I address that letter?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I have It's an addressing actually actually a contact page
on our website. Instead of me just like rallying off
here that no one's going to remember it. So you
go to our website just like a contact page. But
unfortunately it has to go through the US postal system
before it gets to us, because we're inside the United States,
within the United States.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
If you will. Uh so we have like a regular
street address that things get to look to and then
we take it from there.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
If we could get that change to Malasi, that would
be amazing, Like that would be you know, the icing
on the cake.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Absolutely, No, you're good.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Jerry has a question. Ask President Bob about joining the
navy in Milazia joined us.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Well, we used to have a program where you could
do that. We had a thing called the Malosseia and
Naval Academy, but then we had a problem with the
website and so some some kind of functionality issue, so
the Naval Academy no longer exists. We did for a
while for quite a while, have a lot of honorary
members of the Malaysia Maybe and we've even had a
few of them come visit Malasia and participating in naval exercises.
(29:06):
I would say in our nation, but we all know
it's not in our nation.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
This is amazing and mind blowing to me. I've never
heard of anything like this before. And I want to
say thank you. It's already seven thirty our time in
eastern centertime, so anybody's watching this via social media, we
appreciate you. We have President Kevin Ball, the president of
the Republic of Malaysia that's located in the state of Nevada.
He created a country that pretty much I mean, I
(29:34):
know the eastern side of US. I did not know
about this, and it was mind blowing to me when
I saw a little thing on TikTok about I'm like,
what the heck is this? I gotta find out. And
so if anybody's watching this right now, please please please
give us comments, ask questions, share this out. We love y'all.
Thank you for tuning in at one to seven point
seven FM, New Orleans. We love y'all. We were what
(29:54):
the Frick Live. I'm your host Emily and my other
host Rick is with us to not too so. Oh
my goodness. So the currency, I want to go to
currency and banking because you know, we we mentioned the
cookie dough, So is there a banking system with your currency?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
We have the banker Malossia and that's who issues our currency,
and that's who also uh, you know keeps track as
our you know repository of our of our cookie dough
that backs up the currency.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Uh and so yeah, of course, of course you as
an issue before.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
We have everything here in the republic, lassie, our own
puscle system, our own bank, our own currency. You already
heard the national anthem. I will say one thing. On
the opening, you had an interesting version of the Malossian
flag that doesn't actually exist. I don't know what that
is or where you got it.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
That's what you look up and it's like five fifteen images.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Yeah, it's the blue, white, and green, right, Like you
had like diagonal stripes with our with our our our
code of arms in the corner, and that's that's not it.
It's just basically blue for the sky, white for the mountains,
especially in the winter when there's snow, and green for
the desert, especially in the springtime when.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
No worries at all.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Well, that's one of my questions, because the United States flag,
the stars, the stripes, and everything means everything to us
here in the United States. So does those particular colors
and the stripes Does that mean anything to Malaysia? Oh?
Speaker 6 (31:28):
Yeah, sure, Like I said, the blues for the sky,
which we almost always have blue sky here in Molassia.
And the white again, it's for the mountains, which is
right all around our country, especially in the winter. There's
a lot of snow up there, hopefully not down here.
We don't really want it down here. And then the
green the bottom stripe is for the desert. In springtime
when the sage rush balloons, it turns sort of kind
(31:49):
of a lime green and it's really really pretty. So well,
if you're from here, it's really pretty. If you're not
from the desert, you probably don't appreciate it anyway.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I was thinking, like purity and.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yes, all those things too, Yes I don't. I don't
honestly remember all that. There is definitely purity and honor
and so forth like that for but it doesn't come
up as much as the as the blue sky and
so forth.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
For potential tourism. Right, walk me through the journey to
get to Malaysia, Like what your typical travel look like
for somebody.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Actually, we have a lot of well a lot of
our tourists that come are really from the local area,
from Reno or Carson City or something like that, or
they'll drive over from California, which is only about two
hours away.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
That kind of thing. But for other folks, some actually.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Fly in and they fly to the Reno Airport and
then they get get in a car and drive on
over to see us that are road tripping and they
travel across the US and they build their vacation around
our our travel days, our tourist days.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
I'm seeing, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
How far are you, guys from the Reno Airport?
Speaker 4 (32:57):
About thirty five miles?
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Okay like that?
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Yes, absolutely, And we're just down the road from the
Nevada town of Virginia City, famous from you know, the
old TV show Bananza and so forth. And so when folks,
you have done visiting our country, a tour of our
country only takes about an hour and a half. So
when folks are done visiting our country, encourage them to
go up the hill and go go visit Virginia City.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
How close are you to Area fifty one?
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Both Las Vegas and Area fifty one are about six
to eight hours south of Okay, Yeah, we're a long
way away from those places, but we've been by there.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
That counts.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
It counts.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
It counts when you look up, you know, Milaysia and everybody.
You know, when you're junior research figuring out, hey, there
is a country within the United States. You you find
this very intriguing story about the war that you're currently involved.
The way I I have, I'd love for you to
(34:02):
hear I have. I kind of want to tell the story,
but I would love to hear your version of exactly
what is going on, how that started, and where we
are today.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
Absolutely well, I'm glad you asked that question. It's kind
of a long story. I'm glad you're sitting down. So
up until nineteen ninety one, from the end of World
War Two, about nineteen ninety one, the nation of Germany
was divided basically into thirds, and the eastern third was
the country called East Germany, which was a communist country. Now,
(34:35):
when I was with the United States Army IO station
in then West Germany in the early nineteen eighties, I
was Prime Minister of Melossier back when it was called Voldstein.
And as armies tend to do, they would get us
up in the middle of the night, we jump on
our tanks, we head over and you know, be prepared
to repel the Communists for it, who fortunately actually never came,
but they woke me up once many times. So as
a Prime minister, I declared war on the nearest East
(34:58):
Block nation, which was the aforementioned East Germany Declaration and everything,
and then I forgot all about it until about i'd
say twelve years ago, going through the files and the
records of the Ministry at the closet, and I said, Wow,
there's a war decoration East Germany. Wow, gosh, e'st Germany's
long gone. And I discovered then, in fact, East Germany
is not long gone.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I thought, I thought East Germany was gone.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
No, that's what they want. That's what they want you
to believe. Emily, that's what they want you to believe.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Hear me out. Hear me out.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Okay, hear me the rest of the story here, Okay.
So I did little research and I discovered that the
nation of East Germany is not entirely gone. Even though
East West Germany unified in nineteen ninety one. Back in
nineteen seventy three, Fidel Castro of Cuba gave an island
off the coast of Cuba to East Germany to become
(35:53):
East German territory. Kind of a symbolic thing, but it
was still, you know, basically East German territory. Well, that
island was not mentioned in the unification treaty between East
and West Germany, and so it still exists as the
last remaining piece of the nation of East Germany. Now
that island is uninhabited except from marine iguanas, and they
(36:14):
just don't care. And so our war with East Germany
continues and has now gone on since nineteen eighty one.
So it was that forty forty one years something like that,
and we'll probably go on forever. We're basically eternally at
war with an uninhabited island off the coast of Cuba,
and that is our Eastern Wars.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
And you can buy war support for you to win
the war hold on.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
You can buy war bonds to support war bonds.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Yes, we do sell war bonds.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
We actually saw a lot of war bonds to support
our war against East Germany. It's kind of a mainstay
of our advisments.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
People probably don't even know that it's not no longer
there either, to be honest, it is.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
It is there, but it's not like how it was
no no nobody on the island. But that's why the
war goes on. If there was somebody there, we could
probably arrange peace. So that's why the warking team is
probably forever.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
You've got this beautiful island in the Caribbean. Maybe maybe
we get the navy team.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Maybe that should be Malazia, and we take it time.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Should the time ever come when the United States allows
tourism in Cuba, it's a good possibility that we'll travel.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
There and we will then arrange peace.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
But who knows what that's gonna happen, because that whole
thing comes and goes all the time. In the meantime,
we're pretty content to have the war go on. It
gives us an internal enemy with whom to be to
be perpetually warworth and we can blame all of our ills,
you know, something pipe versus something.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
We can blame those East Germany.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
But to get peace, what what would you settle for
President bah to have peace? What would the East Germans
East Germany have to do?
Speaker 6 (37:58):
I don't I mean, since there aren't any there's no
I think we will probably we probably have to go
there and uh just declare victory.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Over the Unavid Island and all the Iguanas.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
I mean to plant the Malaysian flag. Yeah, definitely, heart
of East Germany finally destroying You could be the person
who finally destroys communism, right, communism, Yes.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
And the that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
That's the story of our never ending war.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Well, speaking speaking of wars and other in not Germany
but Greek. Do you all have Olympic Games? Do you
all represent yourselves in Olympic Games?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
We don't.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
Not not in the Olympics that everybody, excuse me, everybody
knows about. But we actually hosted some micro national Olympic
Games back actually back in two thousand and then. There's
been some off and on ever since then that we
have occasion when they participated. But micro nation would be
games a little easier because that organizing the games like
(39:07):
the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Sorry'm wrutting this down and I'm at that age President
Ball that I have to write things down to remember
it so I can go back and look back at
this micro nation Olympic Games.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
Yeah, that that was a long time ago, twenty three
years ago. But it was a lot of fun. It
was kind of kind of like cat hurting.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
You know.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
It's tough to organize micronation micro nationalists because they're kind
of like do their own thing kind of people and.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
So, but it was fun, been a good time.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
The population of your country over the years, have you
seen it continuously expand was it ever larger? What was
the most people you had living in there at one?
Speaker 6 (39:50):
I think what we have right now our population of
thirty five. And just to note that not only are
we a family nation, but most Molosseans don't actually live
in our country is a very small country, and so,
but they live in the surrounding area over the border.
Of the years, we call them expatriates. But we are
continually expanding because our children are now having children, and
(40:11):
so it becomes one of those you know, exponential things
as kids have kids.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Yes, you have a line of success.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Yes, my first lady she is a few years younger
than me, so she is my designated successor. She says
she's going to change the flag to purple and pink
when I die, and then probably or possibly the Chief
Constable will be her successor, or perhaps one of our
grandkids something like that.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
So it really depends on who takes the interest and
who has the energy to keep the country going.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
This dream that you had forty something years ago, I
mean the legacy that you're leaving is quite impressive, especially
the fact so many people are are involved with this.
And with that, I'm on your website and going through
and you have a visitors and flag counter. Oh yeah,
(41:04):
uh huh, So you have lots of countries visit, you know,
and there's tens of thousands of people from multiple countries.
And then you have six hundred and eighty three thousand
people six hundred and eighty three thousand people clicks for
the United States. Oh yeah, but that's not the most No,
how in the world. What is China's fascination with Malaysia?
Speaker 6 (41:26):
You know, I don't know, but they absolutely love us there.
And we get a lot of correspondence from China, and
I said, a lot of sevil of your postcards that way.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
So almost seven hundred thousand clicks or views from China.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
We're definitely making China.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
So I have a question about the jail. I had
my paper bell. We also have a watch or watch
ask about the jail, talking about like does your earlier
previously is when when the children get in trouble, instead
of time out, they go to jail. What happens in
the jail in Malaysia?
Speaker 6 (42:09):
Again, Lassians are very well behaved people. But we actually
mostly use the jail for tourists when they come visit
the country. We'll put them in jail, take a picture,
and then they're back out. We actually give them a
get out of jail free card, just like from them
off Monopoly game.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Let's see here, Rick, you have a fall up with that.
I got to look at my my have checked off
a lot, so we've moved a lot in this show. Actually,
I'm very impressed about what we've been talking about.
Speaker 5 (42:40):
Your relationship with the local community, the town, the county
in Nevada. What's your relationship in terms of like the
leadership there, local county is it? Is it a positive
a positive relationship.
Speaker 6 (42:56):
But it's definitely a positive relationship. I would say fairly
well known in Nevada. But here, let's let's all practice
that together. Is not pronounced Nevada. Let's pronounce Nevada. Come on,
you guys can do it.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
The somebody from Jerseys in Nevada and.
Speaker 6 (43:17):
You pronounce the Nevada will probably kick you out. So wow,
But we do a we do have a positive relationship
with the nearest town is the town of Dayton, which
is just right over the border.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
From from Milassia, and then a little bit further on
is the is the capital city of Carson City.
Speaker 6 (43:37):
Every year in Carson City, we're gonna think called the
Nevada Day Parade, which is the celebration of Nevada statehood
admission to the Union back in eighteen sixty four. And
we are very very well received in the Nevadaday Parade.
We're always we're always in that parade, waving and smiling
and so forth. And then there's also a parade in
the town of Dayton and h and there we're very
well known on the on the Nevada Tourism website. If
(44:00):
you go to the Nevada Tourism website, you can click
on there. You will definitely find us. We're all over
the place on that website. So we're one of Nevada's
tourist attractions.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Now, I guess I say so. I mean, you're on
my bucket list definitely. Definitely, I'm coming coming from Alasia
for sure.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I mean, anybody who's out there, you know you're you're
driving through taking a road trip, especially anybody who finds
their way in Reno right like that would be an awesome,
little little detour for it. Try to plan it on
when you guys are open for tourism.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I definitely do that because we
have other things going on during the year. We really
fund with everybody too that wants to go visit to
those tourist dates because we have other stuff happening in
Melossia all the time.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
So that's people always want to visit us in the
winter and I don't even want to give a tour
of more country.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
When is there specific rules that we need to buy
b when we're in Malaysea.
Speaker 6 (45:01):
Oh, there's all kinds of different rules and actually I'll
read them to you when when you come visit. Uh,
it's kind of one of the things that we do
when you come to customer. The customers uh shack there
at the at the border. But there's a variety of rules.
Let's say you can't play the drums in the bathroom.
Let's see what else we have. Sunshine is guaranteed the
mass is not really a rule, but we definitely promise
(45:22):
that for you. And almost always there's sunshine and Melasia
our weather is perfect in Melossie, about seventy degrees. It
only rains at night when it's not inconvenient, but we're
so close to the US border that they're crappy. Weather
blows in all the time, so sometimes we have to
you know, we have to kind of deal with that.
So anyway, but yeah, and you have to keep the elephant,
your elephant on a leash if you've got one. There's yeah,
(45:44):
no Wallwar says things like that.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Well, we got some stuff like that in Kentucky. We
can't walk a chicken down Main Street at noon on weekdays.
Speaker 4 (45:54):
Oh yeah, absolutely weekend.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
In fact, quite a few of our of our weird
laws in Melassia were adopted, borrow borrowed from weird laws
over the border in the US.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (46:07):
For example, Uh, you can't let off a nuclear device
in our country unless except you get a very large fine.
That's actually adopted from Selinas, California. Now, I'm not sure
who's going to be left behind after you let off
atomic bomb?
Speaker 3 (46:19):
Yeah, you do you have any of that weaponry? There?
Are you considering.
Speaker 5 (46:27):
You have to protect themselves? That's a crazy world.
Speaker 6 (46:30):
We have a Malassia has a couple of muskets, so
I mean, think about our entire navy is inflatable kayaks.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
So I mean you too much. Shoot, and we're going
to sink.
Speaker 3 (46:45):
You.
Speaker 5 (46:45):
I remember reading you. Your public calendar is a very
exciting one. It has very unique holidays that you guys celebrate.
The Day of the Dude, I think is the one
that popped out at me. But can you share what
the inspiration of that was, and maybe some other exciting dates.
Speaker 6 (47:03):
The Day of the Dude is literally adopted from the
movie The Big Lebowski with Jip Bridges and and that's
the day we actually drink white Russians and go bowling.
Probably actually go bowling and they drink drink Russian anyway,
but actually have we have a lot of our own holidays,
and of course many that you would recognize from from
the American calendar.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (47:24):
Here in Melassa, we're a big fan of just about
any kind of holiday where there's food, because we do
like to eat, and so so we recognize, for example,
Chinese New Year, shout out to the folks from New Orleans.
We do Marty Grass that's come up here pretty soon,
I think, with the end of the month, and just
any number of different things as well. Of course recognizing
(47:44):
my own birthday that's President's Day, things like that. We
even have a dog a Day the day of what
the Running of the Dogs was to celebrate the dogs
of Melassia. Kentucky Derby Day.
Speaker 4 (47:57):
We do not have.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
We do.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
Well. We have wild horses a lot. They come through
a lot, but there's no horse races that needed to
be new.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
You of can watch it and just party and have
fun and get hats.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
We absolute best.
Speaker 5 (48:14):
They have a moonpie festival.
Speaker 6 (48:17):
Yes, yes, we sell it. We cell it right, moon
pies in Molassia and then we can get it. We'll
have the whole moon pie and RCA thing. But our
sea colt it's kind of hard to come by in
this area.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
The other the other micro nations that you guys have,
from what I remember is that there's there's like a
micro nation convention.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (48:40):
Is it a micro con?
Speaker 3 (48:41):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yeah? It's called micro con?
Speaker 5 (48:44):
How often is that?
Speaker 6 (48:45):
Whereas we actually have that every couple of years on
odd years. We had into in twenty twenty two because
we had to skip twenty one because of COVID. But
we're gonna have another one coming up in Chicago at
the beginning of the end of June. That will be
then next micro con and it's just really fun to
gather together, uh, just micro nationalists from basically all over
(49:05):
the world and get their ideas of what makes a
nation and uh and just sort of sort of a
meeting of ideas and so it's not like a more
like a convention rather than any than a like making
policy or anything like that. Kind of more like if
I get together and just just showing off your nation
and seeing what you've got and there, Like I said,
(49:26):
there's a lot of the micronations out there. I'm going
to pause for a second here, my phone is actually.
Speaker 4 (49:32):
About to die. I hate to tell you that. Let
me see if I can plug it in and we
can carry on something.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Okay, I'll take just let wave at.
Speaker 4 (49:40):
Me and let me know talk about there.
Speaker 3 (49:43):
Okay, there we go. Holy smokes, I still have two
more questions left. I like to try to squeeze in.
We got like eight more minutes left, and when can
let them go?
Speaker 5 (49:52):
I mean, I'm sure everyone else listening aspose myself as
like man, you know, like what am I going to
and aware am I going going to start a micronation?
And what am I going to celebrate? It's a lot
of dedication and devotion. So I applaud him for sticking
with it. You know, imagine everyone has like some crazy idea,
(50:13):
but you know he's stuck with it. Him and his
buddy came up with a good idea and their teens
and here he is still living that same dream. That's
impressive by itself.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
I want to know, hopefully, you're okay, right, President think so,
I think it's all right. Well, he's got about four
minutes left, hopefully, and we let you go and then
we close out our show. But if somebody wants to
move to Malaysia or I mean, can they build, you
won't allow them.
Speaker 6 (50:41):
To build again. Malasi is a family nation, Okay. We
have a lot of folks that want to come here.
We have inquiries every single day from far away lands.
But there's there's no room for additional citizens in our
tiny little country.
Speaker 5 (50:55):
So uh any opportunities to expand in the local community
into the United States.
Speaker 4 (51:01):
We have our eyes actually on a piece of property
over the border of the US, right across the street
from from US. I know we're to say, right across
the street from another country, but anyway, we might expand
there eventually, but again that would still be like family stuff.
That'd be where the where members of our family would live,
so in melass yet but anyway, So but yeah, no,
(51:22):
that's it. We're pretty limited on what we can have
and so we're happy with that.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
And I have I have one final question then, Rick,
I'll I'll let you close out. So can the US
come in and close you down? Like? What has to
happen if the US decides, hey, we don't like Malaysia,
we don't want them part, Like, what are they going
to do?
Speaker 5 (51:42):
Bring an army?
Speaker 6 (51:44):
Well, we certainly hope that that wouldn't happen. I mean,
we don't have any beef with the US and they
don't have any beef with us. They'd let us do
our own thing for almost forty six years now and
they haven't complained. You know, we don't cause any problems
or anything like that. I suppose if they came in
and you know, roll up the driveway with the you know,
bristling with weapons and law enforcement and so forth, we
probably have to you know, shut down the country. They're
(52:05):
bigger than us. Like I said, we only have two
muskets and we're not going to get in a shooting
contest with the United States that literally never ends.
Speaker 4 (52:12):
Well, so.
Speaker 5 (52:16):
Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Greatly appreciated
for everyone. I mean, there's a ton of information. Their
website is at Melassia dot org. Absolutely definitely check it out.
The pictures alone are fantastic. Tell us anything else worlds
can we kind of find find you and and interact
with you and your community, or we also have.
Speaker 6 (52:39):
Well again, we welcome tourists during our tourist days during
the warmer months. We have loss of social media Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
even tiktoks. The first lady started doing that for us
and so forth. The one closing thing hopefully the phone
doesn't die. I can't really tell what's going to but anyway,
(53:00):
the one closing thing is I would like to encourage
people to start their own micronation. It's not as crazy
as it sounds. It's a lot of fun. I mean,
it could be crazy if you take it too far.
Maybe you don't want to do that, so but it's
a lot of fun, and yeah, we encourage folks to
do it. Just use your imagination, creativity and hoist your
(53:22):
own flag, start your own country.
Speaker 3 (53:23):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (53:26):
No, yes, why not?
Speaker 3 (53:27):
And we can find that information on how to start
off your website, right, yes, absolutely absolutely, and courses President
in ball I think you need to do some courses there.
Maybe people will pay for that.
Speaker 5 (53:47):

you going to name it.
Speaker 3 (54:20):
For? He's New Jersey. We'll see, Ambassador Jerry. He's been
on here making making comments too, so yeah, Republican, yes, yes, all.
Speaker 5 (54:41):
Right, that was a good one.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
That's awesome. I am telling you, I have never heard
of this before. It was mom belonging to me when
I was first, I was like, I never even thought
of a micronation within the United States.
Speaker 5 (54:52):
Do we have enough time?
Speaker 3 (54:53):
But I have questions still though, because this happened back
in the late seventies. That's a lot of cult stuff.
You know, we got Charles mans and everything. Could you
make my forro nation off a ranch?
Speaker 1 (55:05):
Like?
Speaker 3 (55:05):
I don't know I could go?
Speaker 5 (55:07):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (55:07):
True Cross Sail, a Killer all that kind of.
Speaker 5 (55:09):
I'm surprised you didn't. I was waiting for you to
drop that connection, especially when they started talking about Cuba
and Fidel Castro. I know she's going hard right now.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
I just didn't bring it up.
