The revelation sparked a scandal β€” and lots of social media mockery β€” in Paraguay but it’s hardly the first time self-described representatives of the United States of Kailasa duped international leaders. Earlier this year, they managed to participate in a United Nations committee meeting in Geneva and also signed agreements with local leaders in the United States and Canada

At this point, some Capcom PR employee will be able to slip the Republic of Nayshall into existence as a prank.
