Move over South Sudan, we have a new, new kid on the block! The worlds new, newest country is The Principality of Filettino! With a population of just 542, the townsfolk of Filettino were evidently pretty pissed off when the Italian government tried to merge them with a neighboring municipality to cut costs. The Principality joins an entire array of unrecognized states including Somaliland, Abkahzia, Transnistria and South Ossetia.

| Filettino in Italy. The world most widely ignored independent" country. |
Only time will tell whether this is just a gimmick, a way of scoring political points against Great Grandfather Berlusconi; or whether Filettoni will become a household name like San Marino, and like its city state comrade, a force to be reckoned with on the world stage!
On the other hand, we may have a massacre on our hands......
Lets Hope Not!
The New Country Even has a new Website, well, to be fair, even I have a website so its not that amazing, hell even North Korea has a few websites! http://www.principatodifilettino.com/
