[WikiEN-l] [KINGDOMOFMARDUK at aol.com: re. the by the Wikimedia regd. principality seborga]

[Ray Saintonge]

I had the privlege of having visited the principality on its National 
Day in 1999 when dignitaries from the nearby Principality of Monaco were 
in attendance. 

This would suggest that there has been a coup d'état.  I will look into 
the matter, and report in the next few days. :-)
