[ExI] Press Release: A New State Has Been Declared - Liberland

[John Grigg]

I remember seeing video footage of when some small group tried to create a
new nation on a tiny island near Tonga.  The King of Tonga was not pleased
and sent in his marines (yes, Tonga has marines, and they train with their
U.S. counterpart) to kick them out, though legally, they were not within
Tonga's territorial boundaries.  Oh, and Tonga also technically has a space
program! lol
