Isn't there a rancher in Australia who declared his independance from Australia? I think he set up a little "principality". At least this guy still recognizes the Queen - he's just trying to get around a rather unpopular, unelected, and apparently unaccountable, government.
I've often wondered about that "principality" in Australia though. My guess is the politician's down under ignore him because he's comic relief, and what have you. However, what if...
The Commonwealth of Australia granted free passage to Canadian military vehicles, aircraft and personnel through their territory, as Canada invaded that independant principality. First off, we wouldn't even have to keep it, we could invade, secure and hand back over to the Australians. And just as fast, this "prince" could re-declare his independance. No one gets hurt - no harm, no fowl. Just a long flight and some quick area securing drills. It'd essentially be a big exercise, but could you imagine the reaction in places like the UN, and the American Whitehouse?
"Canada did WHAT? Oh, sure that's a good one!"
"Okay, enough with the jokes."
"No really, lets get serious again..." and so on. We could get away with it because no one would believe we'd do it.
Maybe we could do it on April 1st?

Hey stop picking on Hutt River I have an application for citizenship pending and am joining their navy. They said that they’d start me off as a Rear Admiral if I brought my own Kayak from Crappy Tire.
Check the web site out. They could give the Legion of Frontiersman a run for their money in regards to medals and spiffy uniforms. ;D

saw this on today's Calendar "1944: VC won by Flight Lieut. David Ernest Hornell, Royal Canadian Air Force, Shetland Islands (posthumous)" 
had to google it to make sure it was the same Shetland Islands.
