<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 43526, member: 1101&quot;]I have no problem if HRP is or becomes a &quot;real&quot; country, but this general issue is one I have already considered for some time.&nbsp; Sealand is another example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simply declaring a country a country does not make it so.&nbsp; Take the USA, for example: Amercians consider their independence to be from July 4, 1776, but that was just the date on some ragged peice of parchement that was signed by a bunch of malcontents/freedom fighters.&nbsp; Britain did not recognize independence until they lost the War for Independence (American Revolution ot Americans) some years later.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for HRP, as far as I know, they have no recognition from any internatonal body such as the UN, Universal Postal Union, etc, etc. etc.&nbsp; I am pretty sure no other country recognizes them.&nbsp; They do issue coins, but if that is the only criteria, then I will make my apartment an independent state.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
