View source for Treaty Of BBC

==History==
In August 2005, [[Danny Wallace]] made a show on major British
television channel BBC in which he worked to create his own nation. A
group of micronationalists under the leadership of [[Nick Leghorn]] and Behmanesh Farzan decided to approach Wallace and ask for a treaty with
his country as a publicity stunt. Farzan phoned into the show and
convinced Wallace to participate; the treaty was signed on air, giving
most of the micronations involved their first television coverage.
