Communities in the News… Sort of

The Crown Dependency of Forvik recently declared its’ independence on June 21st, 2008. Applications are now being accepted for Forvik Citizenship. So, if you want to move to a tiny island spanning 2.5 acres, known as Papa Stour, among the Shetland Islands, then now is your chance.

Unfortunately, access to the island is, currently, somewhat formidable. Furthermore, there are not currently any buildings on the island, which contains no tress, however if these things excite you, then you are certainly welcomed to Forvik Island by owner Stuart Hill. The man is a 65 year old who is fed up with liars, tyranny and other government antics. As such, Stuart Hill has created his own website, flag, plans for currency and other activities necessary for the development of Forvik as an independent entity.
