The elevation currently sits at 7,714 nortons (1,500 m/4,500 ft).

History
Molossia comes from a childhood project called The Grand Republic of Vuldstein, founded by Kevin Baugh and James Spielman on May 26, 1977, the exact date Molossia was declared. It was populated by King James I (Spielman) and Kevin Baugh, who was prime minister. Spielman soon left the project, but Baugh used it for several kingdoms when he traveled to Europe. For a year in 1998 and 1999, Molossia was apart of the United Provinces of Utopia 3. Then on September 3, 1999, the Republic of Molossia was formed by Kevin Baugh, who he declared himself president.

Territory
Molossia currently consists of 3 provinces, all in the United States, comprising an area of 6.3 acres. The smallest of them is being Harmony Province, being just a little over an acre (4,000 m2). Harmony is where the capital Baughston currently sits, and is where the Baugh family currently resides. On July 30, 2013, Kevin's 51st birthday, Baughston was renamed from Espera to commemorate his birthday.

Expansion
On August 2003, Kevin Baugh purchased a small rural land in Northern California, named the Colony of Farfalla, or just Farfalla Colony. He then sold it in late 2005, when he inherited more land which he then named Desert Homestead Province, in the southern part of California. It was originally owned by his grandfather, which it now serves as a memorial for him.

In early 2015, almost 10 years after, Baugh bought back Farfalla Colony.

Economy
Molossia's economy relies on the Valora, which means value in Esperanto, the second official language. It has a relative value to the Pillsbury cookie dough, which is stored in a building called the Bank of Molossia. From there, valora coins, made from gambling coins. Banknotes are printed there as well.

War with East Germany
Molossia claims to be at war currently with East Germany, saying that they are responsible for military drills started by Kevin Baugh. They are also apparently responsible for the lack of sleep.
