You can't make up stories of incompetence worse than this.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, son of the infamous anti-Semitic playwright and poet Amiri Baraka (formerly Leroi Jones), evidently does not sweat the details when it comes to official duties. His city finally fessed up a few days ago to having been scammed by a notorious international fugitive conman into signing a sister city agreement with a fake nation, complete with a nice ceremony last January 12. (Why a sister city agreement with any nation, fake or real, was seen as appropriate is a subordinate but interesting question.)
Barstool Sports explains:
The scam was created by Nithyananda, a swami that is a fugitive from India, where he is on the run from rape charges. Nithyananda, a well-known scam artist, created the website for Kailasa in 2019 while attempting to apply for asylum in Sri Lanka. In January, Newark held a ceremony at City Hall honoring the fake country while signing a cultural trade agreement.
During the ceremony on January 12th, Mayor Ras Baraka and the Newark City Counsel invited officials from the phony nation and signed an agreement on cultural trade. The mayor made a statement that he hoped the deal would help political development and improve the lives of everyone in Newark and the fake nation of Kailasa. Newark would take six days to realize that the country did not exist, as the deal was voided on January 18th.

Those wacky New Joysey guys. Always looking for a laugh.
Elections do have consequences. They allow the Cuckoos to run the nest. This is hilarious. I’ll bet the Brits are getting a good laugh about this one. Affirmative action and ass kissing is making us Americans look bad.
Duchy of Grand Fensick perhaps?
Fensick...S/B....Fenwick
Sheesh!
The mayor who signed the paperwork is Ras Jua Baraka, a former principal of a failed high school in Newark, and mayor since 2014.
Some times things are to easy
Kailasa - don’t forget nearby Kielbasa and the far-flung Isles of Langerhans.
