It’s that time again.
Monthly Micronation Monday. And what obscure territory will we explore this
time? Why, the Principality of Wy, in Australia!
It originated with the Delprat family and their home in
Sydney of Mosman. They applied to build a driveway in front of their house.
Yet, after 11 years, the issue still had not come to a solution. Finally, on
November 13 of 2004, the Delprat family, formally dressed, visited Town Hall
and presented a Decree of Secession to the mayor of Mosman.
The ambitious family declares 7,500 square feet to be their country’s
territory. Wy is a heavily artistic
nation, sponsoring art prizes and holding exhibitions.

Prince Paul leads
the nation, and much of the nation’s activity takes place online today on their
official website: http://principalityofwy.com/.
The family seems to take a light-hearted approach to their royalty on the
website, including pictures of a sleeping Prince Paul draped in fake jewelry by
his children.
One of the more famous micronations and one of the many in
Australia, Wy’s seemingly most defining characteristic is its artistry.
