The Republic of NULL Island (opens in new tab)

It sounded really interesting until I found out that it doesn't really exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Island

I'm still trying to figure out the heraldry of their flag. Is orange being used as a metal and gray as a fur? Either way, I'm not liking the design. Because of the similar brightness in colors, if you tried to look at that flag from far away, it might not look like it even exists.

"Africans are not seafaring people."

Citations very much needed, because it looks like this is just plain wrong.

The image is that of Mayor Island, an New Zealand island volcano.

Is this really the homepage of the real Null Island? Why isn't it on the .null TLD? http://wiki.opennicproject.org/dotNullTLD

do we realise that so many people will read this and not realise its not real?

misinformation can be amusing, but its also harmful :/
