However, it is not recognized in any international forum as a sovereign state; nor is it a corporate or statutory entity.
Marshall Islands statement
In 1998, the government of the Marshall Islands stated:
The Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands condemns the claims and activities asserted by (alleged) representatives of the "Kingdom of EnenKio" and the "Dominion of Melchizedek". The representatives making claims of separate sovereignty are not citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and have no right to make claims on behalf of Marshallese landowners. Furthermore, these representatives are making fraudulent assertions that violate the Republic of the Marshall Islands's constitution. The area of land and ocean which the "Kingdom of EnenKio" asserts as a sovereign nation separate from the Marshall Islands and (some of) the area of land and ocean which the "Dominion of Melchizedek" is asserting control over are areas within the geographical and political boundaries of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Location
The Kingdom of Eneen-Kio claims the three uninhabited islands (Peale Island, Wake Island, and Wilkes Island) that are collectively known as Wake Island. They comprise a total area of approximately 6.5 km² and are situated approximately 2300 statute miles west of the Hawaiian Islands and 2000 miles from Japan. The nearest island neighbor is Bokak Atoll of the Marshalls group, some 300 miles to the south. This coral atoll has been called by different names through history, such as San Francisco, Lamira, Disclerta, Halcyon, Helsion, Wilson.
