Kailaasa

Kailaasa, officially United States of Kailaasa (USK), is a claimed micronation founded by Indian self-proclaimed godman Nithyananda in December 2019. Nithyananda, who has been described as leading a cult, claimed that he had created a new "Hindu nation" microstate, and claims that Kailaasa is the world's only sovereign Hindu nation. The general consensus among the mainstream press is that Kailaasa is a fictional, fake, and even a scam country. Nithyananda is wanted in India on non-bailable charges of rape and abduction.

Reporting in 2023 by New York magazine suggested that Kailaasa-related activities had been pursued by Nithyananda for at least 20 years, including various attempts to convince American, Canadian, and other places to enter into "sister city" arrangements with and other forms of acknowledgement of Kailaasa, which has resulted in several scandals from local to national levels.
