	Seborga - MicroWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Seborga is a small town, and self-proclaimed principality, located in the flowery back hills of Liguria in north west Italy, near the French border and the sovereign principality of Monaco.
		By 1963 the people of Seborga were convinced of these arguments and elected Carbone as their Head of State.
		The argument for Seborga's independent status is that Seborga was an independent Principality until January 20, 1729, when it was sold to Victor Amadeus II, Prince of Piedmont and King of Sardinia.

		Seborga issues passports, car number plates and stamps, has its own constitution, Government, Parliament and court, a distinctive blue-and-white flag and a rather posh coat of arms whose cross points to its religious past.
		It mints its own coin, the luigino, which is worth $9 and circulates within the principality alongside the euro and is snapped by many of the 100,000 tourists who cross the border each year for a quick gawp.
		As a result, Seborga is missing from all the records of the later acts that created Italy, including national unification in 1861 and the establishment of the Italian Republic in 1946.

		Unlike most micronations, Seborga does have an undisputed past as a feudal state, albeit not as a hereditary principality, but an ecclesiastic one which clearly no longer exists.
		On 23 April 1995 in an informal referendum (which was never recognized by Italy and which was illegal under Italian law), Seborgans voted 304 in favour, 4 against, for the Principality's constitution and its general rule and in favour of 'independence' from Italy.
		In June 2006 a power struggle arose when Princess Yasmine von Hohenstaufen Anjou Plantagenet, who claims to be the rightful heir to the throne of Seborga, wrote to Italy's president offering to return the principality to the state.

		George I, alias George Carbone, a 70-year-old former flower grower, was elected king of the village in 1963, after he declared Seborga's independence from the Italian state because, he claimed, when the principality was sold to the Kings of Savoy and Sardinia in 1729, the sale was never properly recorded.
		Since then, Seborga has been missing from historical records, including the acts to unify Italy in 1861 and to form a republic in 1946.

		Seborga is a very small (about 14 square Km) Principality in Liguria, the north west part of Italy (click here to see the map).
		Seborga has got some own license plates, but they cannot be used in Italy or anywhere else, so cars do need also another standard Italian license plate, as you can clearly see in the third picture.
		If you want, you can also see the driving license printed by Seborga, though I believe that it has no official value outside the Principality: click here to see the outer side of it and click here for the inner side.
