#Domus boca full
A circumstance that allowed him to tour the dominions of the republic, alternate with the full Governing Board, interview illustrious parvenses and participate in the most transcendental collective rite of the nation: a gargantuan banquet that, for four hours, put the good humor and hospitality that encourages in all its citizens.
Protected by article 13 of its constitution, which authorizes the entry of foreigners “exceptionally and as a duty of international courtesy”, a special envoy from the magazine Sete Dias managed to pass through the heavy gates that isolate Parva Domus from the outside world. According to them, any violation of their sovereignty must be judged by international law, a premise that is linked to another no less boastful: that, with the exception of Parva Domus, the rest of the world is mad as hell. They are probably right: at least to date, the Uruguayan government has not claimed any kind of sovereignty over the ancient palace and its gardens, which extend a few steps from the Montevideo boardwalk, at the aristocratic southern end of Boulevard Artigas. The parvenses, a clan of imagineers of inexhaustible creativity, affirm that their country is not a social club, but a sovereign State, a claim that somehow resembles the ineffable citizens of the republics of La Boca or San Telmo, two of the most notable experiences of this type approved in this margin of the Plata.
#Domus boca free
Founded in 1878, Parva Domus Magna Quies (which in Latin means: small house, great rest) is “a Republic free and independent of all social concerns, made up of people willing to give themselves to the most frank expansions of friendship.” With 250 inhabitants, and a democratic-representative government, limited in its four borders by its protector and neighbor, the Republic of Uruguay. Just 200 kilometers from Buenos Aires the smallest and most exclusive nation in the world is located: the Republic of Parva Domus. (This article was originally published in 1970 in Sete Dias Illustrated.) Located in the middle of the Uruguayan territory, surrounding it on all four sides, the microscopic republic of Parva Domus Magna Quies maintains an unblemished democracy, where bad humor is outlawed and banquets are mandatory.
