How to Buy an Actual Country on eBay and Become King (or Queen)
Yes, I am exploring buying an actual Sovereign Country on eBay and hopefully crowning myself king. Want to be a Minister? Colonel, Lord or Lady? Now is your chance!
So last video I expressed disappointment after being shunned from Satoshi Island due to my lackluster Twitter following. Link above if you have not seen that. Anyway after drying my cheeks I started Googling buy a Micronation, if you cant join em, beat em, and of all places came across a listing to buy a real Micronation on eBay. And frankly when you buy something as important as a Micronation you want to go through a trusted, credible intermediary.
Wirtland is a genuine, established Micronation, according to their ebay listing this is the first time in history, a populated sovereign country will be auctioned online. Wirtland apparently has 8000 citizens, including Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.
Wirtlands concept statement: Wirtland is based on the concept of a country that transcends national borders without breaching or lessening the sovereignty of any involved. Wirtland differs from online "virtual worlds": there is no computer-simulated environment, citizens do not use avatars, and may influence real politics, set up organizations, earn money. Wirtland issues real plastic ID cards, marriage certificates, registers businesses and other organizations.
Wirtland has its own coinage, the Wirtland Crane, issued in gold and silver coins, their own flag, and coat of arms.
I checked out their press page and they have been featured in quite a few publications including Fox news back in 2009. In 2010 it stated that Wirtland was looking to acquire physical territory and made a proposal to Nauru, nothing more about it so I assume it didnt happen.
So apart from the fun in crowning yourself an actual real life king and being able to give all your neighbors knighthoods, I could see real monetization potential from something like this. Some of you may be familiar with Highland Titles, who sell you a 10' x 10' plot of land in Scotland that allegedly allows you to legally refer to yourself as Lord or Lady. They have sold 300,000 of these according to their website.
It appears the current Wirtland government was granting citizenship for free but charging for the documents, so making a few bucks on that. I assume there was some markup on coinage, but based on the fact they are selling it, and the 90's vibe website, I would assume this has not been a profitable venture overall.
I also checked their Facebook feed, and it looks like this listing has been on eBay since at least 2019! Which makes me wonder if I am way off base even considering it. I have no idea what the original listing price was but right now the asking price is $50k, with the opportunity to present offers.
Now I have lost money on crazier schemes but I think this one could have real legs. Ideas I had off the top of my head, selling NFT citizenships, maybe even including actual land rights in Wirtland, like Satoshi Island, I dont know enough about NFT's to pull this off so if any of you are Opensea'd up and want to work out a partnership hit me up. Other potential revenue streams selling governmental appointments, like knighthoods, or vice president etc. You could also have a global business directory serving citizens of Wirtland and charge a fee to included businesses. And the gold, silver coinage could also be a revenue stream.
