    Welcome to the United States of Kailasa

    Kailasa! Kailasa forever!

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...tional-country

    A Paraguayan government official has been replaced after it was revealed that he signed a memorandum of understanding with representatives of a fugitive Indian guru’s fictional country, who also appear to have duped several other officials in the South American country.
    Arnaldo Chamorro was replaced as chief of staff for Paraguay’s agriculture ministry on Wednesday shortly after it was revealed that he signed a “proclamation” with representatives of the United States of Kailasa.

    On Kailasa’s website, the fictional country is described as the “revival of the ancient enlightened Hindu civilizational nation which is being revived by displaced Hindus from around the world”. It is led by a self-styled guru, Nithyananda, who is wanted in India on several charges, including sexual assault. His whereabouts are unknown.

    Among other things, the 16 October “proclamation” expressed a “sincere wish and recommendation for the government of Paraguay to consider, explore and actively seek the establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States of Kailasa and support the admission of the United States of Kailasa as a sovereign and independent state in various international organizations, including, among others, the United Nations”, according to a copy of the agreement posted on social media.

    Representatives of the fictional country met with Chamorro and the agriculture minister, Carlos Giménez, Chamorro said in a radio interview.

    During the interview, Chamorro recognized he didn’t know where Kailasa was located and said he signed what he characterized as a “memorandum of understanding” because they offered to help Paraguay with a variety of issues, including irrigation.

    We've done a trade deal with them, they will buy our night-time solar generation in exchange for us giving temporary entry visas to all their citizens.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          Contractors need a flag & symbol.

          How about a dollar sign on purple and loads of money shaking a wad of cash?
