Peaceland
Andrew previously blogged this protest against the planned US military radar installation in the Czech Republic: part of the "Son of Star Wars" missile defense system.
There's now an english language website here, including instructions for how to apply for citizenship.
UPDATE :
June: 9th June, 2008 - The newly established state Peaceland in the Brdy region has been attacked today by the Czech military police. All present activists were arrested and taken away. Even the climbers on the trees were taken down.Ten vehicles full of military policemen arrived this afternoon to the borders of Peaceland, surrounded the State and then began to arrest the citizens who put up only a passive resistence and let themselves to be loaded in to the police cars. The policemen even confiscated a camera on which one activist was taking video of the attack. The police action had been apparently planned and even though the Greenpeace activists had information about the possible attack, they did not leave. More here...

Wow! That is unbelievably awesome! I want to live in Peaceland! Except I couldn't climb to save my life... But what the residents of Peaceland are doing is just fantastic. Someone must have a great imagination to have come up with this idea.
