Talossan history began in 1979 when a group of friends in the United States created a fictional country called Talossa as a playful experiment in nation-building. This micro-nation was founded by Robert Ben Madison, who sought to create a unique culture and language, leading to the development of the Talossan language and various governmental structures. Over the years, Talossa has evolved, with its own constitution, political parties, and even a royal family. The community has grown to include members from around the world, fostering a sense of identity and belonging among its citizens, while remaining a lighthearted example of a modern micronation.
