Nimis Guides

Volunteer to guide hikers to Ladonia!

Introducing the “Guide” Button Program

We are excited to announce the launch of the “Guide” button program to assist hikers in Ladonia. These buttons are designed to help visitors find their way to Nimis by easily identifying knowledgeable guides.

What Are “Guide” Buttons?

The buttons feature the word “GUIDE” with the Ladonian flag and the national coat of arms. Volunteers and experienced hikers will wear these buttons on their backpacks or hats so they can be identified easily (and from a distance).

Spotting a Guide

When hiking, look for individuals wearing these distinctive buttons. They know where they’re going and can give you directions into and out of Ladonia. They can probably also provide information about Nimis and Ladonia.

How to Get Involved

If you are familiar with the trails and would like to assist, please contact us to receive your own “Guide” button. Your participation helps ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors.

The Problem

Nimis is a vast structure, but it is made of wood and situated on a beach, exposed to the elements and weather 365 days a year, so we must perform inspections and repairs on the structure on a regular basis.

Historically, the maintenance was performed by the State Secretary, but since his death, the task has fallen to the Minister of Art and Jump and other volunteers to carry on the maintenance.

The Solution

The Minister of Art, Fredrik Larsson, is heading a committee of volunteers to regularly visit Nimis to inspect and perform repairs/maintenance as needed. There have been no reports of damage or instability, and all continues to be in good order.

To continue our mission to preserve Nimis as a monument to Art, Free Speech and Free Expression, we (the Ladonians) are forming two nonprofit foundations, one in the United States and one in Sweden, both dedicated to supporting the preservation of Nimis and Arx.
