The Kingdom of Elleore is a micronation located on the island of Elleore in the Roskilde Fjord, north of Roskilde on the Danish island of Zealand.〔John Ryan, Simon Sellars and George Dunford. (''Micro Nations – The Lonely Planet Guide to Home-Made Nations''. ) Lonely Planet. 2006. ISBN 1-74104-730-7〕 The island was purchased by a group of Copenhagen schoolteachers in 1944 for use as a summer camp.〔〔〔Sellars, Simon ("Kingdom of Elleore" ) (Simonsellars.com ). Accessed January 2012.〕 They proclaimed the island's tongue-in-cheek "independence" as a Kingdom as a gentle parody of the government structure and royal traditions of Denmark. It's been stated that the kingdom's ancestry has been traced to a "monastic society of Irish monks who arrived in the middle of the 10th century."〔 Prior to 1944, the island was known mainly as the location at which the controversial film ''Løvejagten'' was shot in 1907. Numerous traditions peculiar to the kingdom have evolved over the subsequent decades, including a ban on the novel ''Robinson Crusoe'', and the use of "Elleore Standard Time", which is 12 minutes behind Danish time. Many of the place names on the island, the kingdom's "government" and the titles assumed by its "nobility" are parodies of Danish equivalents. The kingdom has issued several stamps and coins.〔 ==Geography and demographics== The island has been estimated to be approximately in size.〔 Elleore is unoccupied save for a week-long annual gathering attended by dozens of its "citizens" and known as the "Elleuge" (meaning "Elle week").〔 The ceremonial enthronement of the reigning monarch takes place at this time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kingdom of Elleore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
