Zaqistan

BOX ELDER COUNTY — A 2-acre piece of land in Box Elder County, that the owner calls a sovereign nation, has generated so much attention that people are now signing up to visit.
Zaq Landsberg, from New York, claims the land in the remote northwest desert of Box Elder County — called Zaqistan — is his sovereign nation.

Come visit friendly Zaqistan, where all the cacti smile,
while zithers ply the amber air with music all the while.
The sunsets are so glorious they make the buzzards weep,
and sunrise comes so suddenly that people do not sleep.
Drink the local wine, which is fermented from fry sauce;
try our pickled gravel -- you will surely say it's 'boss'.
 Refugees are welcome to stop over on their way
to someplace else -- we give 'em tents and lots of Frito Lay.
No politicians ever bother our democracy;
our elected leaders are a boulder and a tree.
The skiing is delightful, if you don't mind avalanches;
the pine cones hit you on the head while falling from their branches.
Our houses are of sagebrush, and our roads are but a fable.
You can order pizza, but you cannot get good Cable.
A passport is not needed to behold our noble land;
just bring your camera and some cash (I'd say 'round twenty grand).
