The Hutt River Principality is a self-proclaimed micronation located in Western Australia. Established in 1970 by Leonard Casley, who declared independence from Australia, it covers an area of about 75 square kilometers. The principality has its own flag, currency, and stamps, and it attracts tourists interested in unique political entities. Despite its claims of sovereignty, the Australian government does not recognize the Hutt River Principality as an independent nation. Over the years, it has operated as a tourist attraction, with visitors drawn to its unusual status and the story of its founding.
