What if we could create...

the ideal society...

the perfect nation...

in our backyard?

♪ Garage rock

Without the resources to fund
our nation,

that question lingered for ten
long years

until 1998.

When the Republic of Kallipoly
was born.

What happened in 1998, Mr.
Wilson?

Well, it began with a tragedy,
as most great things do

with the death of our inlaws.

It began with uh...

a tragedy, as most great
things do,

with the death of a dear relative,
who left us a ranch.

I set to work on a
constitution.

And within a year, we had our
nation.

Grant, it's Raymond.

You alone?

Yeah.

Grant.

Morning, Raymond.

Welcome to Kallipoly.

Can I fix you a coffee?
No, this won't take long.

Good. I got a real busy day.
Course you do.

You see we started redoing the backyard,
putting in a new pool and everything.

I did see that.
You run it by the fascists?

- Yeah, I went by the county office.
- Oh, they have no authority.

They pulled up the survey.
It seems that your fence is ten feet into my property.

Those surveys are out of date.
They don't include treaties made

by me and the previous owner.
- These treaties written down anywhere?

They were gentlemen's agreements between me and Mr.
McGregor.

So there's no proof?

How's my word?

Listen man, I really hate to dothis, but but we're squeezing
in this rock waterfall

and that pump system needs
more space than a golf course.

- We could really use this land.
- You delcaring war?

I'm coming to you as a neighbor,
trying to work this out peacefully, so we

don't need to get the court involved.
- Whose court?

The Republic of Kallipoly
is a sovereign nation.

You're an American, same as me man,
no matter what flag you put out front.

Listen.

Don't be coming to my property, my nation, and telling me what
I am and what I ain't.

Easy, Grant. I'm just saying, legally,
you're a citizen. I wanna fix this

in a neighborly way.
- Neighborly way, is that it?

All right, I'll tell you what, neighbor.
You want my land, you want my property?

You're gonna have to take it.

- This isn't one of your war games, Grant.
- I'll take you to court if I have to.

All right. Raymond,

you just stepped into a cow pieyou ain't never getting out
your rug.

What's that even mean, man?

Get ready for war.
Cuz you're gonna get it.

You'll hear from my lawyer.

You'll hear from my .45.

Savannah! Savannah!

- I'm busy.
- In my office now.

- Yes, Daddy?
- Did you take my pen?

- Which one?
- My signature pen.

Do not touch my personal property unless I give you explicit permission.

- You're supposed to play with toys.
- That is a replica model. Do you know

how many hours it took me to build that?
- That's not some toy you find at a store.

You got it on Amazon?
No, I...

Where's my pen?
This one?

Damn it, Savannah, this is my signature pen.
I wrote our constitution

with this pen.
This is part of our history.

It's a rollerball.
With elvish on the side.

That's Latin. Do you know what
it says?

'Aut vincere, aut mori.'

Conquer or die, our national
motto.

Well, mine is 'live out loud.'

This isn't a joke.
Are you sure?

Do you have any respect
for the Republic of Kallipoly?

Why would I?
All it does is kill my social life.

Well, maybe if your deadbeat friends can't respect our nation

they shouldn't be your friends.
- Well, that kinda rules out everyone.

Except a few gun nuts, and
total weirdos.

What about that Henderson boy?
Bobby Henderson?

He got expelled for
bringing a knife to school.

I'm sure he had a reason.
Yeah, he was angry and

desperate for attention.

Sounds familiar.

Okay. One more word

and you can say goodbye to
summer classes.

You don't need a community college hack to be a photographer.

He isn't Two words,
that's it. Goodbye school.

I wasn't disrespecting you.
No, you contradicted me.

- That's disrespect, plain and simple.
- So no one can disagree with you,

about anything?
Watch it.

Or what? You'll burn my books?
You will respect me and your country.

All right,
instead of taking photographs of ash trays and fruit bowls

you'll spend the summer with
me and your brother.

I'm not doing your stupid
exercises.

No, you'll film them.
We need a new recruitment video.

You can't make me do this.

Watch me.

Mom.

Dear Lord,
thank you for all the blessings you have given us.

And please,
let them be enough.

Next thing I know,
Tammy Gonzalez herself is down at my ranch.

Telling me where my cattle can go,
what kind of feed to give 'em,

how I can use my land.

See now, that ain't none of
her business.

That's exactly her business.
Regulate the hell out of us so

some suit can come and buy us
out.

Yeah, but I mean,
she's supposed to be working for us, right?

We voted her in didn't we?
Oh, no, not me, no.

Last time I voted was for Reagan.
Jeez.

She did you wrong.
But they all do. Ya know,

it's not just one man,
one woman It's the whole damn system.

This country used to be a
place where, you know...

you could build a life.

Buy a property, have a family.
Honest day for honest pay.

Now they got us so tied up in layoffs and loans and regulations,

lucky you could even see straight,
much less build a life.

You like being free, don't
you, Jim?

I do.
How long you been herding cattle?

36 years.
You think some city slicker with

new boots knows more about
raising cattle than you?

No.
Course not.

Ya know...

A man's got a choice. He can
either take the hand he's dealt

and hope the dealer doesn't
have an ace up his sleeve.

Or, he can leave. Start his
own game.

That's not a real choice.
What you're doing

What I'm doing is making
myself a goddamn life.

You ever wanna see what real freedom looks like, Jim?
You come on by.

Hey. Put his drinks on me.

No, you don't need to do that.

Call it diplomacy, ya know.
Keeping things friendly at the border.

Now Grant, I already told you
twice.

That's legal tender. That's
recognized by 13 nations around

the world and two online markets.
Yeah, well we take cash.

That is cash.
American.

Tell you what.
I'm going to give you a good exchange rate.

Five Nortons to the dollar.
Usually it's three to one.

I'll tell you what.

Now you come back with some real money,
or I'm going to call the Sheriff.

How's that sound?

You ready to start an international incident over two whiskeys?

Wait a minute.
I'm thinking about it.

Hey wait a minute, wait a minute.
I'll cover it. I'll pay for his whiskey.

No need.
Keeping it...

keeping it friendly, right?

Right.

Come on by any time you want,
Jim.

She can make up her own mind.

All clear.

Time to take over the world.
How? We got you surrounded.

For now.
Why don't you stop being stubborn

and accept what's coming and run away like you always do.

I'm just fooling around with her.

Well, I'd be fine if you two
stopped picking on me.

Hey, there's no rules against

Mom, do you want to start an

I don't know, honey. Come on,
we have Europe surrounded.

If you hit Iceland and head south,
then I can come through Ukraine

and we'll take down the Eastern Bloc.
Hey, no table talk.

Is there a rule against it?

We don't have that psycho psychic connection like you and Kyle.

We have to use words.

I don't see anything about

Grant, the SATs are important.
Especially when he only has a home school diploma.

Only? Hell, he's learned more here than whatever
the hell they're teaching down the road.

And real stuff that he can use, not just empty facts he'll
forget in a year.

Colleges have to compare him

No, the whole point is to shovel more money into the ivory tower.

Maybe, but college is still

Kyle, you should at least apply,
in case you change your mind.

Daddy's got you running errands now?

- About to blow up a dam or some bullshit?
- No.

What are you here to do?

You're a real fucking soldier

Better than being

Come on, loser's not worth it.

Listen to Elsie.
You do everything else she says.

Man, you shut the fuck up.

You're some weirdo loser who's never
touched a girl and probably never will.

Hey.

Unless your freak sister
breaks you off some.

- The fuck?
- Back off, you fucking psycho!

Come on Kyle, let's go.

No, it's not that bad.
No no no baby, it's not that bad.

That was so stupid.

And kind of sweet.

Also a little impressive.
I mean, one punch?

That's why they call me Rambo.
Don't.

Always draw the first blood.

No.

Did you tell Mom about the court summons?
Grant, what is she talking about?

Nothing.
Just another letter from Raymond.

No, not from Raymond.
The court sent it. A legal summons.

- When were you going to tell me?
- There's nothing to tell.

Raymond's bluffing,
and I'm gonna call him on it. Simple as that.

Our real worry is here. This spy,
going through things that ain't hers.

For standing up for my Godgiven right

And one of them came true?
Not overnight.

He lost his job and got more

Put up the flag, started going to conventions.
But things really picked up

the last few years. He, um...

found some, well,

and they buy more courses and beer coozies than we can come up with.

You dare to challenge me.
You dare to insult me. You dare to dare.

Depends how far it goes,

but at least a few

I couldn't let you send that

She did the right thing.
The threats you made...

If Raymond were to have given that to the police,
you'd be in jail already.

If Raymond saw that video,
he never would have called the police.

You were...

convincing.

But either road leads to more
