Moresnet

Moresnet was a neutral area between the Netherlands (later Belgium) and Prussia, resulting from a disagreement over a zinc mine, existing from 1816 to 1919. This is interesting:

When the mine was exhausted in 1885, doubts arose about the continued survival of Neutral Moresnet…. The most remarkable initiative came from Dr. Wilhelm Molly, who in 1908 proposed making Neutral Moresnet the world’s first Esperanto-speaking state, named Amikejo (“place of friendship”). The proposed national anthem was an Esperanto march of the same name. A number of Kelmis residents learned Esperanto and a rally was held in Kelmis in support of the idea of Amikejo on 13 August 1908.
