Indore youth declares self ‘king’ of ‘kingdom’ near Egypt; to rule online

Indore, November 17

Suyash Dixit, a 24-year-old software engineer in Indore, has declared himself as the king of an unclaimed strip of 2,072 square kilometers of land between Egypt and Sudan.

Self-claimed king of this ‘no man’s land’, Suyash has founded the idea of the first ‘virtual governance of a kingdom’ and named it as ‘Kingdom of Dixit’, which will be ruled online from India.

The piece of land of which he is claiming to be the king is not under the authority of any country.

Suyash has claimed that he has also sent a mail to the United Nations, proclaiming the strip as a new country ‘Kingdom of Dixit’. The UN, however, has not replied to his proclamation yet.

“I want to run a country on a community basis. I want to work for humanity in this Kingdom, not for any religion. I went to the location which was adventurous and equally dangerous. I have designed a flag for my kingdom as well. We will provide free shelter to the people living in nearby areas to bring population to our kingdom,” Suyash told ANI.

Reportedly, the Indore boy has received more than 800 applications from people across the world to be the citizens of his kingdom and has been receiving over a thousand friend requests on his social media website.

Suyash has also declared his father Rakesh Dixit as the Prime Minister and the army chief of this lifeless place.

He has also appealed to all the nations, including India, to help provide basic facilities to this land.

“I am feeling very proud of my son. He was always so innovative. This place is going to be crime-free and tax-free,” Suyash's father said. ANI
