Hutt River



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 passports have been issued to international citizens of PHR around the globe. The Principality also enjoys a good, active and widespread diplomatic representation throughout most of the developed world.
