The Kingdom of José Cuervo
founded 12:00pm 19 Dec 96 PST

Get on a plane, take a boat, or swim, for all it matters. Head to 62 degrees 4' west longitude and 18 degrees 6' north latitude, into the heart of the West Indies, to an 8-acre island where the average temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit, the average rainfall is 35.6 inches, and the average drink is a José Cuervo margarita. Congratulations. You've landed in The Republic of Cuervo Gold: A Nation of Untamed Spirits.
Yes, Cuervo Tequila bought an island off the coast of Tortola and declared independence. Once inhabited by the Arawak and Caribe Indians, the island was later "discovered" by Columbus, though it sat empty for much of the last 300 years. After Cuervo bought the place for an undisclosed sum, the company petitioned the United Nations for nation status. When it was ignored, the company held a protest rally. Later it tried to send a volleyball team to the Olympics, and when ignored again, Cuervo held another rally. Meanwhile, the island is no longer empty. Today it is Margaritaville.
Cuervo calls it "the spiritual homeland for the Cuervo lifestyle." Its plan for the coming year is to establish itself as a legitimate island nation - a process that so far has included setting up an Office of Propaganda, appointing MTV's Dan Cortese as ambassador to the United States, and declaring an iguana named JC Roadhog as mascot. When Cuervo comes to your Friday night bar with a big banner that reads, "Don't Just Stand There, Now!" say "Hell yes! Where do I sign?"
