How To Start Your Own Country

Coming soon on the BBC, every Wednesday night in the UK on BBC2 at 10pm, from August 3rd. It's hosted by a comedian, so is probably light hearted, but promises to cover some serious points.

"How to Start Your Own Country:" "Danny Wallace has a dream. In 2005, he plans to start his own country. This series follows the intrepid Wallace - famous for starting the Random Acts of Kindness collective - on his unlikely odyssey. He must find a territory, write a constitution, create a government, plan economic survival, implement law and order, expand his population and, last but not least, establish international relations. From the corridors of power at Whitehall to a war fort in the North Sea, Danny meets a host of extraordinary individuals who've already achieved this incredible feat. With his unique brand of humour, he documents their struggles, heeds their advice and, inspired by their spirit, sets about creating the world's youngest nation."
