This is the best summary I could come up with:
Arnaldo Chamorro was replaced as chief of staff for Paraguay’s agriculture ministry on Wednesday shortly after it was revealed that he signed a “proclamation” with representatives of the United States of Kailasa.
During the interview, Chamorro recognized he didn’t know where Kailasa was located and said he signed what he characterized as a “memorandum of understanding” because they offered to help Paraguay with a variety of issues, including irrigation.
The revelation sparked a scandal – and lots of social media mockery – in Paraguay but it’s hardly the first time self-described representatives of the United States of Kailasa duped international leaders.
Earlier this year, they managed to participate in a UN committee meeting in Geneva and also signed agreements with local leaders in the United States and Canada.
Photos posted in Kailasa’s social media accounts also showed representatives of the fictional country signing agreements with local leaders of the María Antonia and Karpai municipalities.
Representatives of the United States of Kailasa participated in two UN committee meetings in Geneva in February, according to media reports.
