Principality of Seborga
The Principality of Seborga (Italian: Principato di Seborga, Ligurian: Prinçipâtu de Seburga) is a micronation that claims a 14 km2 (5.4 mi2; 3,500-acre) area located in the northwestern Italian Province of Imperia in Liguria, near the French border, and about 35 kilometres (20 mi) from Monaco. The principality is coextensive with the comune of Seborga; assertions of sovereignty were instigated in 1963 by a local campaigner based on unproven claims about territorial settlements made by the Congress of Vienna after the Napoleonic Wars.
