Informazioni aggiuntive	Hutt River Province — the self-declared independent principality carved out of Western Australian farmland by Leonard Casley in 1970 after a dispute with the state government over wheat quotas — issued this piece in response to the Skylab reentry of July 1979. NASA had lost control of the station's orbital decay, and with debris projected to fall across a wide swath of the Southern Hemisphere, much of it did in fact scatter across Western Australia. Casley, characteristically, capitalized on the international attention his remote territory briefly received.
