Stuart Hill is my kind of people! The world needs more like him, I think.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about The Crown Dependency Of Forvik (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Dependency_of_Forvik):

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7f/ForvikFlag.svg/160px-ForvikFlag.svg.png"The Crown Dependency of Forvik is a micronation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronation) located on the 2.5-acre (10,000 m<sup>2</sup>) island of Forewick Holm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forewick_Holm) in the Shetland Islands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shetland_Islands) of Scotland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland).
Forvik was created in June 2008 by the island's disputed owner, sole occasional occupant, and Cunningsburgh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningsburgh) resident, Stuart Hill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Hill_%28sailor%29) when he unilaterally declared Forvik to be a British Crown Dependency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Dependency)."

Stuart hopes to promote Forvik on the Dependency's only website:
