I Declare Myself… King! 

In Australia, the practice of founding kingdoms is becoming more common. Altogether, there are 30 micro-nations with men and women who have declared themselves king and queen and even wear crowns and capes. Such is the case of prince Paul Delprat, who claims that his home in Sydney is an independent micro-nation called Wy. The citizens of the kingdom – Delprat’s wife and children – have to read poetry, use traditional royal clothing, and respect all religions. Even though he has his own domain, the prince still has to pay taxes to the Australian government.
