	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Moresnet
		Moresnet or Neutral Moresnet was, from 1816 to 1919, a tiny European mini-state of about 3.5 km² that existed solely because its two large neighbours couldn't agree on who should own it, deciding therefore to make it a neutral territory where both would share control equally.
		At first the territory was governed by two royal commissioners, one from each neighbour, but later Moresnet was granted a greater measure of self-administration when a mayor and a council of ten members were installed, with the mayor (also the head of state) appointed by the two commissioners.
		Life in Neutral Moresnet was dominated by the zinc mine as the major employer, which attracted many workers from the neighbouring countries who supplemented the original "neutral" population, though the total population of Moresnet never exceeded 3000.

	Neutral-Moresnet/History
		Moresnet went to the Netherlands, the present Neu-Moresnet became part of Prussia under the name of Prussian Moresnet and the little area with the village Kelmis and the zinc mine got a neutral status.
		It is obvious that Neutral Moresnet was situated between the Netherlands and Prussia and had thus a Three-country-points points meet with both countries.
		The inhabitants of Moresnet, seeing the storm coming, filed a petition for annexation by Belgium in cause the neutral status would be ended.

		As neither of the two countries wanted the other one to own this mine, they negotiated for a year, and in 1816 it was decided that the territory would be divided into three parts.
		The former neutral territory officially became a part of Belgium, and 50 border markers and a small museum are all that remain of this unique chapter in European history.
		Moresnet's destiny was tied to its zinc mine, but it could have sought a different path.

	Neutral-Moresnet/Stamps and postal history
		The nearest post-office in Hendrik Kapelle took care of the mail in Belgian Moresnet and was also authorised to deliver mail in the neutral territory.
		A remarkable detail in the postal history of Neutral Moresnet was the emission of a series of stamps for mail within the neutral territory by the Kelmiser Verkehrs Anstalt.
		Because Neutral Moresnet did not have its own post office it is difficult to recognise such old postal items.

	The Territory of Moresnet (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Moresnet was no (semi)-independant state but a territory with a very special status between 1841 and the end of WW I. It was an area made of three small "communes" (municipalities) somewhere between Belgium, Netherlands and Germany (Prussia).
		In the end, Moresnet was declared neutral territory in 1841 and it remained neutral until 1919 when it was annexed by one of the victorious powers: Belgium.
		Germany renounces in favour of Belgium all rights and title over the territory of Prussian Moresnet situated on the west of the road from Liege to Aix-la-Chapelle; the road will belong to Belgium where it bounds this territory.

	Neutral Moresnet
		Prussia wished to stand by the description in one article of the treaty; the Netherlands claimed under another; and contingent upon which article was to have force was the status of a triangle of land, in the middle of Moresnet, some three miles by two miles by one, with an area of 850 acres.
		Although Neutral Moresnet is but a few miles from Aix-la-Chapelle, and although an electric-car line will be continued from the city to its edgeprobably, before this, has been continued-it is a lost territory.
		The division of Neutral Moresnet has long been intended, plans have from time to time been proposed for it, and it is apt to be accomplished at any moment.

		Just as cartographers put fake cul-de-sacs into their maps to catch violators of copyright, "Moresnet" is well-known in publishing circles as a copyright trap/hoax conceived and perpetrated by the editors of the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica.
		Considering the BEF never got anywhere near the intersection of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands (where Moresnet is located) at any time in WWI, and the territory's 344 hectare size, "hyperbole" is about the kindest word I would use to describe that statement.
		Presumably by 'almost Esperanto' you mean that Moresnet's version of the language was completely lacking in nouns, and the world to its inhabitants was a heterogenous series of independent acts.
