The (floating) Republic of Rose Island. In 1968, a Bolognese engineer, Giorgio Rosa, declared a sea-platform in the Adriatic Sea, 11 kilometres off the coast of Rimini, an independent state, under the Esperanto name Respubliko de la Insulo de la Rozoj https://books.google.at/books?id=CrfwGa4aCwYC&pg=PA176&lpg=PA176&dq=%22rose+island%22+rimini&source=bl&ots=J_xVE8q4L_&sig=_fnx7mVdxhvHJ8RXS7dnozix0-s&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjWkM2e69zbAhXSKlAKHZVDBuoQ6AEIZzAK#v=onepage&q=%22rose%20island%22%20rimini&f=false …pic.twitter.com/visyw8e5nh

I remember watching 'La Cite' du Petrol / Oil Rock - City above the Sea', a documentary on Neft Daslari. Fascinating insight into this floating utopia. Strongly recommended if you haven't watched it already:https://vimeo.com/ondemand/oilrocks …

Do people still live there? Can it be visited?
The Azerbaijan Wikipedia reports that Neft Daşları has a population of about 4000 https://az.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neft_Da%C5%9Flar%C4%B1 …
