欧洲十大雷人小国
There's an impractical and, quite frankly ridiculous, way to get out of abiding by your country's laws: start you own nation。
不想受到国家法律管束？有一个异想天开的解决办法：建立自己的国家。
Yes, it probably won't do you much use, and you'll probably still have to pay taxes, but still, people across the globe have been determined to be their own King。
是的，这可能没多大意义，该交的税也一分钱都不会少，但世界上仍有很多人决心成为自己的国王。
We've listed some of Europe's micronations here, ranging from hippy communes to renovated war forts to socialist islands on a tiny rock. May they serve as inspiration for your own micronation.。。
