Vikesland's creation and subsequent development was the intended focus of a documentary film about micronations which Beyette planned to produce. The focus of the micronation's activities subsequently shifted to unspecified endeavours of a charitable and humanitarian nature. The official website of Vikesland states that the micronation is "not secessionist" and has no intention of claiming the territory of Canada or any other sovereign state. However, the site also identifies Beyette's place of residence near the city of Brandon, as well as a nearby 6.5 square kilometre rural property which he co-owns with his parents, as being "Vikeslandic territory". The latter is referred to as the "Royal Ranchlands". FlagThe kingdom's flag is made up of three horizontal bars of black, white and red. At the centre of the white bar has a white, Albanian-style double-headed eagle. Space sponsorshipVikesland was one of the sponsors of the JP Aerospace "Away 35" balloon mission.[2] See also{{portal|Micronations}}References1. ^{{cite book|title=Micronations|author=John Ryan, George Dunford & Simon Sellars|publisher=Lonely Planet|year=2006|isbn=1-74104-730-7|pages=90–93}} 2. ^Flag of Vikesland on Away 35 balloon External links
