On March 14, 2002 at 12 o'clock GMT of the zero meridian, the famous Russian treasure hunter, living in the village of Leningradskaya, Krasnodar Territory, Yuri Kharchuk, proclaimed the Declaration on the Formation of the Russian Principality on the Antarctic continent.
The territory of the Principality was declared “permanently unoccupied territory of the mainland within the boundaries of a quadrangle formed on the one side - 90th degree of longitude, on the second side - 95th longitude, on the third side - 80th degree of latitude, on the fourth side - continental the border of the continent of Antarctica, with the exception of the territory in a circle of 200 km with the center - the scientific station "Mir", as well as - the islands of "Victory and Drygalsky". The declaration has been prepared at a high legal level and does not contradict international conventions and agreements. The principality already has its own Constitution, its own flag, coat of arms and anthem. One of the Russian mints has already minted the first coins - "chests" and "money boxes" (note: 1 "chest" is equal to 100 "money boxes"), as well as paper notes depicting medicinal pigeons of different breeds. Also, crosses and orders of the Knights of the Principality, an order and a medal of 4 degrees "For the merits of Psycho-blue therapy in beekeeping" were made. Postage stamps, land ownership certificates and principality treasury notes are being prepared for printing. The first batch of the Principality's passports will be ordered in one of the European countries. The necessary documents are being prepared for the transfer of the relevant application for membership in the UN. In case of refusal, an option is also provided. For several years now, the League of Unrecognized States has been officially operating in Amsterdam, which, along with Kurdistan, the Basque Country, Biafra, Transnistria and Karabakh, may also include the Principality of the Russian treasure hunter Yuri Kharchuk.certificates of ownership of land plots and treasury notes of the Principality.

By the way, since 1964 the world has seen an increase in the number of new state formations and that the peak of sovereignty has begun since then in Africa and Oceania. Currently, there are already about 200 unrecognized states. Among them - well known to us - Wales, Ulster and Scotland in Great Britain, Catalonia in Spain, Greenland in Denmark, as well as the Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistrian republics.
At present, the newly-minted principality, along with the approved declaration and constitution, has 30 ministries, 23 committees and agencies, more than 60 residents from different regions of Russia have been awarded the orders "Knight of the Principality of the Russian treasure hunter Yuri Kharchuk". The Prime Minister of the newly unrecognized state was elected, the main religion is the worship of the Planet of the Pigeon Angels and the Pigeon Angels, although the Principality is quite multinational and multi-confessional and all religions and beliefs, as well as all nations and nationalities are welcome here.
Antarctica is a very unique region of the Earth, where people do not shoot at each other and visit foreigners without a Schengen visa or any other visa. On June 21, the day of the winter solstice, polar explorers celebrate a kind of holiday - the middle of wintering, or International Day of Antarctica.
In Russian historical literature, it is believed that the continent of Antarctica was first seen by the participants of the First Russian Antarctic Expedition led by Thaddeus Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on January 17, 1821. They saw it, because the expedition members did not manage to land on the coast, which was snow-covered mountains and snowless rocks, because of the solid ice near the coast. Comparing the reports of this expedition with modern data, we can conclude that sailors in several places have approached the continent before, but observed only "ice mountains". Now it was the undoubted land, which Bellingshausen called the Land of Alexander I.
It is still unclear whether this is an island near the continent or the Antarctic peninsula, everything is covered with ice. Seeing the earth is enough to become its discoverer? Can we consider that the discovery of an island adjacent to the continent is the discovery of a continent? By answering these questions, you can determine the nationality of the respondent. Of course, the Russian and Soviet tradition says yes. The British answer "yes and no" and believe that Antarctica was discovered by Edward Bransfield and William Smith. The latter, indeed, in 1819 landed on the South Scottish Islands, lying near Antarctica - but still not on the continent. Bransfield skirted these islands and on January 30, 1820 saw a peninsula undoubtedly belonging to the continent. But I just saw it.
The Americans, however, believe that Antarctica was discovered by Nathaniel Palmer, although he did not land anywhere and on November 16, 1820, seemingly saw the same peninsula. Or an island, as the British believe. Apparently, this dispute cannot be resolved. Moreover, the Argentines, Chileans and French have their own point of view. The first flag of his state was apparently installed by the Frenchman Dumond'Urville - but also on the island, not on the continent.

Only in the last years of the 19th century did man manage to land in Antarctica. This happened on January 24, 1895. The first to enter the land of the sixth part of the world were the captain of the Norwegian fishing vessel "Antarctic" Christensen and the passenger of this ship, also a Norwegian, a teacher of natural sciences Karlsten Borchgrövink. He, in fact, persuaded the captain to lower the boat into the water and land on the shore. Moreover, he collected samples of minerals there, saw and described the Antarctic lichen, and noticed a jellyfish in the water.
Amazingly, just 109 years ago, there was a huge continent on Earth, where, as they say, no man's foot had set foot. There are several hundred more men and women in the world who were born before the discovery of a continent larger than Australia and Europe!
Now this continent and the adjacent islands are the only territory on the globe that does not belong to any of the existing states. Although the territorial claims of some of them are huge. For example, Norway claims a territory ten times larger than its own. Including the island of Peter I, discovered by the Bellingshausen-Lazarev expedition. Great Britain declared its huge territories. Australia considers almost half of Antarctica to be its own, into which, however, the "French" Land of Adelie is wedged. New Zealand hurried to get its piece of the "pie". And Chile and Argentina anecdotally claim practically the same territory - the Antarctic Peninsula, which they even call differently. Most of these countries have issued postage stamps with a map of Antarctica and the boundaries of "their" territories.
Fortunately, territorial claims did not extend beyond philately. In the fall of 1959, a conference on Antarctica opened in Washington, which on December 1, 1959 ended with the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, unprecedented in Earth's history. This treaty, originally signed by Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, the Union of South Africa, the USSR, the United Kingdom and the United States, declared Antarctica a zone of peace in which the establishment of military bases and the holding of radioactive materials are prohibited. The Treaty declares Antarctica to be essentially an international scientific laboratory, in which the contracting parties will inform each other of all expeditions in the area and of all scientific stations located in Antarctica. Inspection of all objects is provided at any time.
The Antarctic Treaty turns 54 this year. Now its participants are 27 states (with the right to vote) and dozens of observer countries. As before, 7 out of these 27 countries do not give up "their" secrets - the round Antarctica was cut like pizza. The United States and Russia took a special position, stating that, in principle, they could put forward their territorial claims in Antarctica, although they have not yet done so. Currently, from 1000 to 4000 people live and work at the year-round Antarctic stations, among them about 100 are from Russia, which has 6 year-round and 3 summer stations. The continent has its own radio and television stations, although only for American polar explorers. Iron ore, chromium, copper, gold, nickel and platinum, some coal and oil are found on the continent. In the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, they fish on an industrial scale,krill and crabs. Of course, no agricultural activity is carried out at temperatures down to -88 degrees, although "only" 98% of the continent's territory is covered with ice, 2% falls on barren rocks. In 1998, a moratorium was signed on the development of oil fields in the Antarctic region.
Much is known today about the developments of the Third Reich in the field of "flying saucers" in the Antarctic. How successful are the Germans in this? Who helped them? Was the work curtailed after the war or continued in other, secret areas of the globe?
In the archives of the Third Reich, drawings have been found that explain the principles of "twisting" of subtle physical fields, which make it possible to create certain techno-magical devices. The knowledge gained was passed on to leading scientists to "translate" it into an engineering language understandable to designers.
One of the developers of techno-magical devices is the famous scientist Dr. V. O. Noise. According to the evidence, his electrodynamic machines, which used fast rotation, not only changed the structure of time around them, but also floated in the air. Today scientists already know that rapidly rotating objects change around themselves not only the gravitational field, but also the space-time characteristics. So there is nothing fantastic in the fact that when developing a "time machine" Nazi scientists received the effect of antigravity, no. Another thing is the question of how controlled these processes were. There is evidence that a device with such capabilities was sent to Munich, to Augsburg, where its research continued. As a result, SSI's technology division created a series of Vril-type flying discs. A lot of materials have appeared and are still appearing in various publications about a large military base allegedly belonging to the Third Reich in Antarctica. A number of researchers suggest that this base survived, giving the name to the underground city "New Berlin" with a population of 2 million people. Their occupation is genetic engineering and space flights. An indirect confirmation of the seemingly incredible fact is the repeated observations of "plates" and "cigars" in the South Pole region.an incredible fact are the repeated sightings of "plates" and "cigars" in the South Pole region.an incredible fact are the repeated sightings of "plates" and "cigars" in the South Pole region.
- Who owns the moon?
- How can the Moon belong to someone?
With this conversation, the career of the largest landowner of the solar system, Dennis Hopes, began. American Dennis Hopes privatized the Moon in 1980. The fact is that according to international agreements, no country can lay claim to an Earth satellite. And according to American law, the owner of the territory - if it is no one - is the one who first announced it. Hope declared his rights quite loudly and even sent letters to the heads of the major powers. None of the heads of Hope answered, and they hardly took his statement seriously. But in vain … Having privatized the moon, the American immediately opened a brisk trade in lunar sites. Inexpensive - a plot of 72 hectares - one hundred football fields - on the visible side will cost you only $ 99. The order can be placed directly on the Internet. The site includes the Constitution of the Moon and a map of the lunar surface free of charge. To date, Hope has earned more than a hundred million dollars from the Moon trade and even opened his representative office - the Lunar Embassy - in St. Petersburg and Moscow. In 2005, there were already more than TWO MILLION owners of the "lunar" earth, and this number is increasing every day. There are many celebrities among the owners: Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Mick Jagger, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronaldo, Dennis Hopper and about 250 more famous people around the world. The Hilton and Marriott corporations and more than 30 other Silicon Valley companies also own properties on the Moon, Mars and Venus. In Russia, 4171 people also became the owners of the lunar earth.

Unrecognized states are a separate and very interesting topic for reflection. In the summer of 1940, in the midst of the air battle for England, the British Navy built seven steel platforms measuring 120 by 35 meters on the high seas near the Thames estuary. They were equipped with anti-aircraft guns to repel the raids of German bombers. After the war, platforms on heavy concrete piles were of no use to anyone and were empty for more than twenty years, until one of them, called the Rough Tower, seven miles offshore, had an owner, a Terry Bates. During the war, he received three wounds, half a dozen military awards and, becoming the youngest major in the British army, managed to win the heart of the famous fashion model Joan.
Bates installed a diesel generator on the platform, built quite decent housing and began to live there for a long time with Joan, son Michael and daughter Penny. There would be nothing criminal in this, but soon the major mounted a radio station on the platform, which went on the air under the name "Radio Essex". The radio station broadcast trendy music and advertisements. Since the platform was in neutral waters, the radio station was not subject to British jurisdiction. Bates did not comply with copyright laws, did not pay taxes, allowed himself to work on any wave.
Radio piracy proved to be a very profitable business: for one minute of advertising, Bates received between 1,700 and 2,500 West German marks. He soon became a very wealthy man. Having declared the platform "Rough Tower" an independent state of Sealand - "Sea Country", he proclaimed himself its ruler - a prince, raised a red and white flag over it, invented an intricate coat of arms, wrote a constitution and a number of laws, taking British law as a basis. Sealand's official language was declared English.
Despite the numerous scandals surrounding the Principality of Sealand, the intervention of Interpol and law enforcement agencies of many countries, there is no sign that the criminal activity of Sealand citizens will decrease in the coming years. Probably, we will have to hear the beautiful name of this rusty platform off the coast of foggy Albion more than once.
In July 1964, seven Americans landed on a small reef in the Caribbean, six miles west of Jamaica. Their leader, Leicester Hemingway, the brother of the famous writer, announced the creation of the Republic of New Atlantis. Hemingway Jr. declared himself president of the new republic, which is outside the territorial waters of Jamaica and is completely independent. The newly-minted head of state argued that the republic was recognized by the United States of America, and as evidence cited a letter from the President of the United States, in which he thanked Hemingway for the postage stamps sent. The letter began with the words "To the President of New Atlantis." In New Atlantis, the state flag was established, which has the shape of a rectangle in dark blue, in the middle of which is a yellow triangle. Against the background of the triangle is a dark blue globe.
Mysterious circumstances accompanied the birth of this republic. In 1967, the Italian engineer Georg Rossi formalized the right to build a platform of 400 square meters in the Adriatic Sea area. He indicated that he was going to use it for scientific purposes. As it turned out, the "scientist", together with a group of enterprising businessmen, set up a restaurant, casino, cabaret, gift shop, post office and radio station on the platform. The following year, Rossi proclaimed the "independence" of his artificial island, raised the flag, issued money and postage. Speculating on "international solidarity," Rossi gave it an Esperanto name, Insolo de la Rosa. However, the state did not last long. The Italian government sent an amphibious assault to the island, consisting of two carabinieri and two tax inspectors. Without much difficulty, they managed to take possession of the new republic.
The Spratly Archipelago in the South China Sea is made up of small coral islands. Filipino Thomas Gloma with his brother decided to settle on one of them. Here they hoisted their own flag, and, returning to Manila, announced the creation of a new state, which they called "the principality of Freedom." A new postage stamp was issued and prepared for distribution. But soon Thomas was arrested and "overthrown". The charge was formidable enough - an attempt to dismember the Philippines. Humanity has eternally strived for freedom and independence. And this is not surprising. Let it be on a small island, let it be in the middle of the ocean, but without the hated ingrained old state foundations.
By the way, on December 20, 2011, the Prince of Treasure Hunters Yuri Kharchuk filed with the Hague International Court of Justice against the unrecognized state - the Russian Empire, the leadership of which declared the entire territory of the Antarctic continent on July 20, 2011 its property. A certain Anton Bakov, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Empire, signed the corresponding Declaration on this. A. Bakov impudently encroached on the already declared territory of the Principality of the Russian treasure hunter Yuri Kharchuk.
Anyone who shares the goals and objectives of the created state can become a citizen of the Principality of the Russian treasure hunter Yuri Kharchuk. Despite the fact that the Principality has an unusual geographical position, the creators, led by the Prince, are convinced of the achievement of the set goal of developing the declared territory. Already today you can get a certificate of ownership of a land plot in Antarctica, receive a title and a corresponding award from the hands of Prince Yuri Kharchuk, or simply plunge into the world of romance and adventure.
We are waiting for you, future subjects of the new and unusual Principality - the Principality of the Russian treasure hunter Yuri Kharchuk!
