New York man creates his own 'sovereign nation' in remote Utah outpost

SALT LAKE CITY — A New York man is building his own sovereign nation called Zaqistan on a remote piece of land in Utah.

Zaq Landsberg has created a yellow-and-red flag, official-looking passports and a border patrol gate guarded by a giant robot sentry for the realm, KSL-TV reported (http://bit.ly/1Lo0yHk ).
