Re: Hattic (fi: Chelume - My Conlang website up)

BTW, on the topic of this kind of thing, if anyone has a fake country,
make it clear that it's fake. There are apparently some unethical
characters out there who sell passports and the like to troubled people to
micronations and other fake countries, giving URLs as 'proof' that they
exist. I've seen one micronation shut down when its sovereign heard about
a case. (Fake languages are probably okay though; not every language has
a country.)
