RENO, Nev. (Wireless Flash) -- If America isn't working for you, create your own country.

Molossia dictator Kevin Baugh considers himself the nicest tyrant you'll ever meet.

That's what Kevin Baugh did, and now he's the dictator of the Republic of Molossia, a tiny country that consists only of his house and yard in Reno, Nevada.

Molossia has a population of four -- Baugh's family -- uses the "Valora" as currency, has a national instrument called the molossaphone, which is a trumpet-shaped kazoo, and lists cookie dough as the national food.

"We are a very proud, little country," Baugh said. "We get tourists who think we're just a house on the street, but I put on my military uniform and give them a personal tour of the country."

Like other countries, Molossia has seen times of war, battling the fake nation of Mustachistan and its leader Sultan Ali-Ali Achsenfree in 2006, but Baugh says Molossia "trounced them mightily."

Though President Baugh says he rules with "a velvet glove wrapped around an iron fist," he's actually a "nice dictator" who takes good care of his people and doesn't shoot anyone.
