5. Republic of Minerva, Tonga

The Republic of Minerva is a self-proclaimed mini-state located south of the Fiji Islands. Its founder was Michael Oliver, an American millionaire with Lithuanian roots. In 1972, he decided to establish his own state, free from taxes, subsidies and allowances. According to his plan, the main forms of income of the inhabitants of Minerva were to be tourism, fishing and light industry. To carry out his idea, Oliver leased several barges, with the help of which he poured an artificial island on coral reefs, declaring it the Republic of Minerva. Everything would be fine, but the Tongan state authorities considered these reefs their territory. The landed troops of the Tongan army raised their flag above Minerva.

Over the next two centuries, the inhabitants of the city poured an entire island on top of a small cliff, and in 1630 the Virgin Church was built on it.

This tradition (throwing stones into the water) today is preserved in the form of the Fashinad festival, during which a colorful sea regatta takes place.
