Principality of Islandia
Micronation in the Caribbean Sea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Principality of Islandia is an incipient micronation that claims Coffee Caye in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Belize as its territory.[1] Coffee Caye is a currently uninhabited island of 1.2 acres (0.5 ha) separated by a short boat trip from Belize City. Founded in 2018 by Gareth Johnson and Marshall Mayer, the project is the first attempt to create a micronation to be crowdfunded.[1] At present the island, which is covered in mangroves and surrounded by coral reefs, can be rented for camping excursions.[2] The principality currently has around 250 citizens.[3]
