This is a "state" that I've never herad about not until today....
Seborga is a small town, and self-proclaimed principality, located in the flowery back hills of Liguria in north west Italy, near the French border and the sovereign principality of Monaco. The main economic activities are horticulture and tourism.
Unlike most micronations, Seborga does have an undisputed past as a feudal state, albeit not as a hereditary principality, but an ecclesiastic one which clearly no longer exists. In 954 its territory was ceded by the counts of Ventimiglia to the monks of Lerino, when the Cistercian monastery was founded. In 1079 its abbots were also made Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, temporally in chief of the principality of Seborga..
