The Golden Hill Republic (formerly Hont-Bars Republic) is a micronation in the south of Slovakia. Its territory consists of 34 enclaves covering 26.9 hectares (66.1 acres).  

Etymology

The country was named after two counties that existed in the Kingdom of Hungary.

Administrative divisions

The country is divided into two counties (Bars, Hont), two autonomous republics (Hátsóbars, Zsigmondföld) and a special so-called Outer Territory (Külső Terület). The autonomous republics enjoy special rights within the state. They have the right to use their own symbols, have their own currency, organise their own army, and establish their own parliament. The so-called Outer Territory is a kind of military territory that forms a complete unit within the country. No one except the military, members of the government and the president are allowed to enter this territory.
