Principality of Outer Baldonia

The Principality of Outer Baldonia is a now defunct micronation whose territorial pretensions comprised the roughly of Outer Bald Tusket Island, the southernmost of the Tusket Islands, off the southern tip of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
== Origins ==

Founded in 1949 by Russell Arundel, who was an American business man and lobbyist for Pepsi Cola Company (today: PepsiCo), and entitled the "Prince of Princes" of Outer Baldonia, the Principality is often classed as a 'whimsy state'. Endowed with a charter, flag, and organized military, it was one of the more developed historical micronations. Coinage and passports were also issued.
Arundel stumbled upon the island while fishing recreationally for tuna in the Acadian fishing community of Wedgeport. The island had previously been used as a seasonal fishing stop-over, and was also used as a sheep pasture. In 1948, Arundel negotiated its purchase for $750 and constructed a stone edifice for himself and his friends to use as a lodge during the sport fishing season. Legend has it that it was, in fact, while Arundel and his friends were engaged in an episode of rum drinking that they conceived, wrote, approved and published the Declaration of Independence of Outer Baldonia. Reflecting the primacy of sport fishers such as Arundel in its leadership, the trappings of the state seem to have teemed with aquatic life. The currency, for example, was called the Tunar.
