The Democratic People's Republic of Meltonia (DPRM), is an entity, classified by some as a micronation, that first declared its existence in 2012. It claims to be "both real and a country". The nation currently claims a small amount of land in southern California as well as the much larger "classified territory" whose location is in the unknown. The People's Administrator of Media and Information has stated "Our glorious territory is in no way comprised of one house or backyard". The country claims its low budget state television network is "Glorious and high quality".
