REPORT: Sark is a small island in the southwestern English Channel, part of the British Crown dependency that had been a fiefdom until just this month. (Report: F. Thelma)
A Lord, his castle & lands with 600 people inhabiting...the system made it into the 21st Century? Incredible. My family is ancestral in the Norman culture as Clan Hunter...I just discovered this story, US news didn't broadcast this story.
As understand, the Seigneur does not have any power now. Apart from enjoying an annual allowance of 24,000 Euros, he is nothing more than an ordinary islander.
I live there(sark), but i'm a 11 year old kid so it sucks because i have 2 go off 2 bording school next year because there is no schooling for kids over 12!!!!!!!!!+and there is only 1 school here so i can't just move 2 another school
I am inclined to favour Feudalism, even though I am an American. It is very sad to see the old system die out... Pesky Euros always screwing up tradition.
Reminds me of a t-shirt I once saw; "Feudalism - It's your Count that votes!"

NPR did
This is one of the few spots feudalism could've survived and democracy was not needed.
I actually can't believe this place actually existed for so long and wasn't just an April fools joke.

The Seigneur still appoints a number of the island officials, such as the Seneschal, and can veto legislation passed by the parliament
