In a bizarre incident, an Indian adventurer has declared himself the ruler of an unclaimed strip of land in North Africa and is encouraging parties to apply for citizenship.

Hailing from Indore, the 24-year-old businessman travelled 319 km to Bir Tawil – an 800-square-mile strip of land south of the Egyptian border and the only place on Earth where humans can live and survive that is not a part of any state or country – and declared it his own.

On November 7, he added a life event on Facebook that read:

"I, Suyash Dixit, first of my name and the protector of the realm, declare myself as the king of “Kingdom of Dixit”. I call myself, King Suyash First from today. I declare this unclaimed land of Bir Tawil as my country from now to the eternity of time. I pledge to continue to work for the prosperity of my people of the country and this motherland."
