I was thinking the same thing reading the article! It’s a greasy kind of respect, but the hustle is impressive in its audacity. There are 195 recognized countries in the world this dude could have falsely claimed to represent, but he went the extra mile and made up Seborga and West Arctica.

Incredible.
