> New Atlantis was a micronation formed by Leicester Hemingway, the brother of Ernest Hemingway. The "island", a 240 sq ft (22 m²) bamboo raft off the coast of Jamaica, was established as a constitutional republic on July 4, 1964.
- jshaqaw 3y agoMy grandfather somehow assisted Hemingway in setting up New Atlantis and the documents declaring him and my grandmother Sir and Lady hang proudly in my living room. As far as I know my family is the sole remaining royal line of New Atlantis. Hilarious that this keeps coming up.
- autoexecbat 3y agoSay if you wanted to issue passports for New Atlantis, how do you go about doing that, is there some passport production machine that is purchasable off the shelf?
- whydoineedthis 3y agoyou could print a passport however you like, but that doesn't mean any other country will recognize it and allow you entry.
- jshaqaw 3y agoI can't say this has topic has come up in any recent New Atlantean Royal Council meetings but we would welcome you to make a presentation on the matter.
