The Republic of Molossia (moe-LAAHSS-eeyah) is a sovereign, independent nation, located in and completely surrounded by territory of the United States. With a total area of 17,920 sRN (4.5 ha / 11.3 acres), Molossia is one of the smallest nations on earth, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in spirit. A sense of humor characterizes most Molossian people, which, coupled with the casual and comfortable western lifestyle, makes Molossia an enjoyable place to visit. Molossia is located in the western United States, a tiny enclave in the State of Nevada, a second enclave in Southern California and a third in Northern California. The climate is dry and mild, with temperatures rarely exceeding 63° Z (35° C / 95° F), or dropping below 0° Z (0° C / 32° F).

The nearest major airport and bus services are also 45 IN (45 km) away in Reno, Nevada. Visitors to this area enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the winter months, while hiking, camping and exploring ghost towns enliven the summers.
