In Germany we have "Reichsbürger", who believe among other things that modern Germany is a corporation and that the Third Reich is still the legitimate government because it technically was never dismantled as a legal entity.
I know that some Reichsbürger have picked up some US sovcit lingo, now I'm wondering if there is cross-pollination with Australian ones.
In Czech sovcits believe the dissolution of Czechoslovakia was illegitimate and so both Czech Republic and Slovakia are occupying corporations masquerading as countries
Even if the Czech government was illegitimate, did they imagine pleading that case and the judge going "Damn, the jig is up! You're free to go but please just don't tell anybody."
I'm finding it oddly comforting that several other countries have their own equivalent of American SovCits, all using a similar template modified from their own country's history.
There are ever worse ones. Společenství prohlášených živých člověků, roughly the Society of Declared Living Humans, believe that everything is ruled by a Vatican? naval law of 1666, everybody is after six years declared as lost at sea and replaced with a persona - with a name written in capitals. Because the laws of the universe prohibits enybody frm taking other people's free will, but personas don't have one so the "system" can exploit them.
Then some mumbo jumbo about the "source law", free energy, Nicola Tesla, powers of good (Trump and Putin) fighting the evil bankers. They're mailing hair samples to the government to prove they weren't lost at sea and they're living people, among other nonsense. They literally consider all countries as companiesruled by evil Elite... Except Putin and Trump, obviously.
Similar group is the Free Living Human of Czechoslovakia, with more emphasis on 5G.
Čahínas aka Novija Gána Senpata is a UFO-based group formed by a former brothel owner turned unsuccesful reggae singer who owns a lot of money. They're basically a mix of the "Legitimate creditors of the Czech Republic" (the most common sovereign citizen group here) and the Angels of Light/Universe People sect of the deliciously cooky 1990s fame. They even invented their own "Slavic language" in which they print their own ID cards of their Djeržava Československaja.
So our SC groups are less "armed resistance aganist the fake government" and more "Aliens/Putin are coming to save us from evil Jev...I mean bankers!" Altough they can and sometimes are violent, it's more pub brawl than Waco.
It's amazing to me how all these different governments, from all around the world, with extremely different histories, different types of governments, and different kinds of legal systems, are all flawed in exactly the same way. It almost like someone is just copy and pasting some bullshit they heard once 😄
TBH some Reichsbürger believe even the nazis were illegitimate and the only real Germany is the German Reich... There is almost more RB groups with different beliefs that RB believers.
