History[]
The republic was established by Mormon settlers fleeing persecution in the USA.
They declared Independence in 1849 and were immediately recognised by the British Government wanting a buffer between its British holding and the USA. Followed then a conflict known as the Utah War in the USA which ended in a victory for the latter.
A second uprising took place during the US Civil War.
Laws[]
Gambling, alcohol and tobacco are illegal. Insofar as the latter two, they can not be legally sold or bought. They may, however, be produced for personal consumption.
