Seborga is a 14 ㎢ area West of Genoa which calls itself a "Principality" for historical reasons.
It issues its own stamps, coins, passports and license plates none of which have any validity and are mostly sold to tourists. Vehicles with Seborga "license plates" must also carry Italian plates from the province of Imperia in which the "Principality" lies.
