6. The Kingdom of Talossa

塔罗萨王国成立于1979年,是由一名叫做罗伯特·麦迪逊的14岁男孩在美国威斯康星州的密尔沃基建立的。

This micronation had the first national Webpage (in November 1995!) and it has an Anthem titled Stand Tall Talossans. Now it has a king named John I, and the current population is 222. A group of dissidents left the Kingdom, and created the Republic of Talossa in 2004, but they returned two years ago.
