From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Republic of Morac-Songhrati-Meads was a micronation in the Spratly Islands established by Christopher Schneider in 1959. Schneider intended to replace the earlier Kingdom of Humanity, in which he succeeded: the other micronation was absorbed in 1963, leaving Schneider as "chief of state" and Morton F. Mead, the former "king", proposed ambassador to the United Nations.

In 1972, Schneider and his cabinet all drowned when the ship they sailed on sank in a typhoon near Mindoro Island. The current status of the republic is unclear, but there have been isolated efforts to reestablish the micronation.
