A Virginia Man Is Trying To Claim 800 Miles Of Land In Africa So His Daughter Can Feel Like A Princess
This is Emily Heaton. Her dad, Jeremiah, just bought her a “kingdom” in Africa. It’s an 800 square mile stretch of desert in Northern Africa.
Many have tried to take the unclaimed land between the Sudan and Egypt in last 100 years. But Heaton believes that he now rightfully owns the area because he traveled there and planted a flag.
Heaton went to the region, known as Bir Tawil, in June and planted his family’s flag in the ground there. The crest was made by Heaton’s three daughters.
After his trip to the area in June, Heaton wrote on his Facebook page:
[quote]“Over the years a few arm-chair explorers have attempted to ‘claim’ Bir Tawil by simply writing a blog entry or creating a website. These half-hearted, illegitimate claims have not been recognized by any government.
Today, with the full support of the Egyptian government, I traveled 14 hours through the open desert to reach Bir Tawil. Once in the Bir Tawil region, I planted a flag, designed by my children and made a physical claim on the land.”[/quote]
And while he’s confident his claim is legimate, it’s unknown if anyone actually owns the land.
Emily, who the family calls Princess Emily, told reporters that she thought the whole thing was pretty cool. She currently sleeps in a custom-made castle bed and wears a tiara all the time.
The family plans to call their new kingdom North Sudan and hope to turn the area into an agricultural hub.

>he buys her land in Africa to make her feel like a princess >she moves there Now there are 3 possible outcomes 1. She gets eaten by an animal 2. She gets Ebola 3. She marries an African prince. They slowly start to stretch and help the land of Africa. Great cities like "New Mombasa" begin to erect and the land is at a golden age.Then the darkness arrives and everything they have worked for is left in darkness.

3 AntwortenBearbeitet von U920628: 7/15/2014 2:49:07 AMI think this story focuses on the wrong aspect of the project. I think it's great that they're taking this unused land and trying to do something worthwhile with it, and as it is ruled sovereignly by US citizens, our government owes them alliance. Not to mention that they have the recognition of the Egyptian government. This could be the US's peaceful ticket into the Middle East, and finally a reason for the US to directly intervene in that area of the world without just looking like assholes. If this whole "North Sudan" thing pans out, we could be looking at the 51st state, and a ticket into extracontinental expansion. But it'll probably fall apart, lol.

This [i]could[/i] turn out well if they actually do something beneficial to the region with the land. But that's just me being optimistic.

If you consider having a "stretch of desert" in the middle of militia infested Sudan spoiled you must have things a little skewed.

[quote]...just bought her a “kingdom” in Africa. [/quote] [quote]But Heaton believes that he now rightfully owns the area because he traveled there and planted a flag.[/quote] Well, which one is it? Did he buy the land or did he claim it? Because those two actions are kind of hugely different. Also, cool.
