Ladonia’s national anthem is the sound of a stone thrown in the water!

Ladonia is a micronation located entirely inside the natural reserve Kullarberg in southern Sweden. Founded in 1996, it boasts over 15,000 citizens from over 50 countries. However, none of them live there.

Like other micronations, this one has a few quirks. Ladonia is ruled by both a Queen(who rules for life) and a President (who rules for three years). All voting is conducted through the Internet.

The tiny country has two national anthems. One sounds just like you would expect an anthem to sound. The other, however, is just the sound of a rock being thrown into the water. Why is this so quirky?

Ladonia was the result of a legal battle between the Swedish government and an artist. The artist had built some sculptures in a far to reach place inside the Kullarberg reserve. When the government found them, they said they were forbidden buildings and wanted to tear them down.

The case went to court and the government won. However, the artist declared the foundation of the tiny 1sqkm nation of Ladonia in response.
