Prince Leonard Casley
Prince Leonard Casley was the self-proclaimed ruler of the Hutt River Province, a micronation he declared in Western Australia in 1970. His principality was founded on a belief that he could secede from Australia, operating under his own laws and currency. Although his movement was initially seen as eccentric and harmless, it highlights the broader sovereign citizen ideology, which rejects government authority. Casley became a notable figure within this movement, representing its historical roots before his death in 2020.
