A few weeks ago some disenchanted Gnomes called for a Gnational Gnonference of all Gnomes. It was decided to create a new independent country for all Gnomes. A site was selected and many pioneer started to move in. of course this meant secession from the Commonwealth of Australia but it was thought that Canberra would not notice.
The new territory is near Mt Victoria in the Blue Mountains http://geocaching.com.au/cache/tp4943.gmap
It soon became obvious that the number of Gnomes had declined sharply over the last couple years so Frogs were deemed to be Gnomes with almost the same rights and all other movables where encouraged to move in the new territory with some restriction as to their representation in the Great Gnome Dictatorship.
Many took this opportunity to look for a better deal and moved to the new land. There are now many occupants and the numbers are still increasing.
Now it seems that after settling their arguments Canberra is now taking notice. There has been talk of a major raid on the Great Gnome Gnation and it will be interesting to find out how this will be carried out. This will not be easy as the population is expert at hiding.
There is scope I think for a new record for the greatest number of movables taken in one day. I don't know what the current record is but perhaps some number person can tell us.
