The town
Seborga is a small town of 320 people in northwest Italy, near the French border. While it is a part of Italy, it is notable for having voted to become an independent micronation called the Principality of Seborga, ruled by a "prince" who was known locally as Sua Tremendità ('His Tremendousness') until his death in 2009. He was replaced by Prince Marcello, who was elected in 2010. Prince Marcello was then succeeded by his ex-wife, Nina Menegatto, who is self-styled as Her Serene Highness Princess Nina, and assumed the position in 2019.
Seborga has its own flag, anthem, postage stamps, and currency, the luigino, a souvenir currency that is accepted for payment in the village.
