The Most Serene Federal Republic of Montmartre (or the Serene Republic of Montmartre and Her Dependencies, or in brief the Republic of Montmartre) is either a micronation or an extended political satire. It is mostly within the boundaries of New York City's Manhattan.
C. 1965,[1] Barry Alan Richmond (born c. 1933),[2] a stage actor/director,[3][4][5] theatrical designer,[6][7] and theatre promoter,[8] author of articles on the Grand Guignol,[9] proclaimed the Most Serene Federal Republic of Montmartre's existence and borders (mostly within Manhattan's theatre district, "roughly 39th to 59th Street with a strip up the Hudson River to where the boat basin is, and from the middle of Fifth Avenue over to what international laws call the thalweg, which is the navigable channel in the middle of the Hudson River")[1][6]... but set its origin at 1636. To some extent this may have been a piece of performance art in itself;[10] but it exchanged mutual recognition with other such small organizations (micronations and governments-in-exile), and was acknowledged by the International Micropatrological Society.[11][1][12] Richmond is named as its 47th president,[11] among other titles.[13]
