abstract
| - The Principality of Hutt River (formerly the Hutt River Province) is Australia's oldest and most influential micronation. It is located on a large farming property several hundred kilometres north of Perth. The Province was founded on April 21st, 1970 by farmer Leonard George Casley (who now styles himself as Prince Leonard), when he and his associates proclaimed their secession from the state of Western Australia. The Province claims that its independence has been acknowledged in, among other documents, an Australian Secret letter from the Department of territories in 1989. Hutt River is not officially recognized by Australia, but it has consular relations with several countries (Benin, Côte d'Ivoire) and has Special Envoys in many countries. (Hungary, Spain, Croatia, etc.) Hong Kong, while not recognizing Hutt River as a country, recognizes it as a place in which a company can be incorporated, though no companies were incorporated in Hutt River on the Hong Kong registry. The Hong Kong Registry, however, were looking at reviewing their list of accredited places for company incorporation after the issue was raised in an adverse manner by Australian media.
