I'm fond of the Imperial County of Reuss, which was semi-independent in the Holy Roman Empire. The madlads named all their rulers "Heinrich", resulting such personages as Heinrich LXXII ("Heinrich the 72nd").

More recently there's the Saar Protectorate, which the French encouraged to become a fully independent country after WWII. But the inhabitants wanted nothing to do with it and rejoined West Germany.

My mother's cat stares for food from one side of her chair and then, after being fed, stares from the other side of the chair because that is clearly a different kitty who has not been fed yet.
