Yeah, there's enough on the web to convince me this place is real. There
are quite a few of these tiny countries of dubious recognition all over
the world, actually.

Couldn't find anything on the Gematria, though. It's supposed to be
ruled by a Prince Leaonard or something. I searched for Hutt River with
terms like "gematria", "jew", "judaism", "religion"... nothing except
some anthropologist comparing aborigines to Jews.
