The Principality of Hutt River (PHR) is an Independent Sovereign State
having seceded from Australia on the Twenty First Day of April 1970
and is comparable in size to Hong Kong, though the Principality is
larger than many countries such as Andorra, Lichtenstein, Monaco, and
Nauru.
The Principality of Hutt River is situated within Western Australia
and is about 75 square km in size, consisting of approx 18,500 acres
of mainly flat or undulating farmland, well covered in
places with a wealth of shrubs and beautiful wildflowers. The economy
is based upon agriculture, which includes the export of wildflowers
as well as tourism.

The Principality is a
constitutional, hereditary and democratic monarchy, with HRH Prince
Leonard as the Sovereign and Head Of State and a Government is
exercised, under the Sovereignty of the Prince, by a Minister of
State, HRH Crown Prince Prince Ian, assisted by a Council of
Government consisting of as many Ministers, Vice Ministers and State
Secretaries as necessary to lead the Country.
Whilst the existence of PHR as a Sovereign State was initially
contested, for many years now it has been accepted and left in peace.
With the same Head of State for 38+ years, the Principality is proud
to have such leadership and therefore the Principality must be
regarded as a very stable country.
Prince Leonard is a keen supporter of both the Arts and Conservation
and has named parts of the Principality with such names as Lake
Beginning, Mount Secession, Lake Serenity and Wild Boar Gorge. The
main
townsite, Nain, has been developed with buildings to provide
basic facilities for tourists who visit the Province in their thousands each
year, and with modest Government and Reception buildings as well as
basic support for campers, inc a small ablutions block, campers
kitchen and a small caravan parking area with Power
also available.
Facilities include an Administration Building containing the
Government Office and Post Office, a public swimming pool and Tea
Rooms and a charming Inter-Denominational Chapel as well as a small
arcade housing the Memorabilia Dept. and Historical Society displays.
A new Reception Office is also in operation with further constructions
about to begin.
While the local resident population is small, a large number of
Citizenships have been issued to people around the
globe. The Principality also enjoys a good, active
and widespread diplomatic representation throughout most of the developed
world.
