Have You Heard About Sark?

Sark! The tiny island nation off the coast of England!

Sark! The last bastion of Feudalism!

Sark! Was once the target of a one-man invasion by an out of work French nuclear physicist armed only with an automatic weapon!

Sark! Were said invader was arrested by the island's volunteer constable on a park bench!

Sark! Where if you recite the Lord's Prayer in Norman French, followed by an invocation of a Prince, at someone you think is wronging you they must cease and stand trial.

Sark! Where the last Clameur de Haro, as it is called, was used in 1970 during a dispute over a garden wall!

Sark! A place I simply must visit!

SARK!

It was a fiefdom up until TWELVE DAYS AGO??? You should have gone while it was still a fiefdom.
