West Nutley

West Nutley, officially the People's Republic of West Nutley, is a small nation located in the South East of the British Isles. West Nutley is entirely landlocked, and has the smallest population of any official nation, excluding micronations. West Nutley is currently ruled by the West Nutley Communist Party, and has been since its founding in September 2013.

History
Around three days before its founding, on the 19th September 2013, three citizens, all single and living alone, decided that they were infuriated by the modern political situation in Britain and wanted to fight back. Their names were Joe Foreman, Alec Carter and Sean Miller. The three keen anarchists armed themselves with a hammer, a spade and a pitchfork, which they acquired after raiding the shed of a nearby farmer. This shed itself was later acquired by the men.

At dusk on the evening of the 18th of September, the men set about creating their own nation. They secretly moved into a small area of land, mostly fields, situated due west of the small English town of Nutley. Overnight, the men set up a full perimeter of electric fences, guard dogs and automatic biological weapons, to prevent anyone from entering or indeed, anyone getting out. The western road into Nutley, Bell Lane, was occupied and the section inside of the West Nutlean borders renamed 'West Nutley High Street'. As of yet, a right of passage has not been agreed between West Nutley and 'the UK', largely due to tense diplomatic relations, so citizens of 'the UK' cannot pass through the High Street, a scandal which has been described as 'a minor inconvienience' to many irritated villagers.

A small section of woodland to the North of the country was also occupied, and renamed 'West Nutley wood'. Upon hearing this, many keen critics of the nation remarked on the astounding naming ability of the inhabitants. The perimeter was equipped with security cameras and a control point established at either end of the High Street. On the morning of the 19th, West Nutley declared itself an independent nation in its own right and submitted a formal request to enter the United Nations, which was accepted by lunchtime, causing many street celebrations across the country.

The initial police reaction, which consisted of an overweight constable in tight uniform who was grumpy because he'd been woken up early, failed to make any progress in entering the nation and instead sustained a nasty head injury from a spade. After he woke up, he immediately contacted his superior demanding a stronger retaliation and compensation for the bruising, one of which he was denied. The army arrived later that day.

Under the percieved shelter of dusk, the British Army launched its attack. They moved in from the north, in the English part of 'Carr's Wood', and descended upon the northern border armed with the finest modern weaponry. However, their choice of time proved fatal - in what became known as 'The First Battle of Carr's Wood', 66.6% of the residents hid behind trees and whacked the oncoming soldiers with various agricultural implements. The battle, which lasted four hours owing to the speed that the British were decimated, was long and hard-fought, but eventually brought success to the defending side, who hadn't even had a chance to stop for half time. After the battle, the weaponry of the attacking soldiers was collected by West Nutley, but was later destroyed because of its impracticality and lack of defensive power against men with spades.
