 One of the Middle East's longest-serving "rulers" has died aged 88 but Eli Avivi was no ordinary president. 
  
 He led the micronation of Achzivland - with its population of two - for almost half a century. 
  
 Nestled in the north of Israel near the border with Lebanon, the tiny "nation" attracted hippies and celebrities alike, including Sophia Loren. 
  
 Despite having no international recognition, it has its own flag (a mermaid) and national anthem (the sea). 
  
 Avivi is survived by his wife and Achzivland's only other "citizen", Rina, 71, who confirmed his death in the early hours of Wednesday. 
  
 His sister told Israeli news site Ynet news he had been suffering from severe pneumonia. 
  
 Who was Eli Avivi? 
  
 Born in Persia, he came to the British Mandate of Palestine when he was two. 
  
 He joined the clandestine Jewish navy, the Palyam, aged 15, and fought first against the British Army and then Arab forces during the 1948 war. 
  
 What would later become Achzivland was a Palestinian fishing village known as al-Zeeb, whose residents fled when it was conquered in 1948. 
  
 Avivi came across the site four years later and lived among the dilapidated buildings, making a living selling fish to a nearby kibbutz. He was later joined by Rina, whom he married. 
  
 The couple's ongoing troubles with the Israeli state began in the 1960s, when the government decided to turn the area into a national park and sent bulldozers to destroy the buildings. 
  
 The situation escalated when the authorities erected a fence around the site, blocking the Avivis' access to the sea. In protest, Eli and his wife ripped up their passports and declared independence from Israel in 1971. 
  
 Their brief arrest and the subsequent court case against them propelled them - and Achzivland - to international fame. 
  
 The couple eventually reached an agreement with the Israeli authorities to pay for access to the sea, and created a "national" museum full of antiquities. They created their own passports and would stamp those of foreign visitors to their 1.4-hectare (3.5-acre) site. 
  
 In the years that followed, travellers from across the world - including many hippies - came to visit one of the world's smallest unrecognised states, drawn by its laidback philosophy. 
  
 What is Achzivland's future? 
  
 It is unclear what will happen without its president-for-life. 
  
 In an interview with the BBC in 2015, Avivi said he did not think he would have many more years left to live. He said he hoped Rina would remain at the site but that it was up to her to decide. 
  
 She has expressed her wish for Achzivland to become a permanent memorial to her husband, whom she described as "the best president ever". ||||| Eli Avivi, who founded the micronation of Achzivland on Israel's northern border, dies aged 88

 The future of one of the Middle East's smallest 'nations' is in doubt after its ruler died at the age of 88. 
  
 Eli Avivi was the President of Achzivland, a hippie micronation on the northern coast of Israel near the Lebanese border. 
  
 The only other citizen was his wife Rina, 71, who confirmed his death. 
  
 His sister told Israeli news site Ynet news he had been suffering from severe pneumonia. 
  
 Micronations are countries that have declared independence from their host nation, but are not recognised by the rest of the world. 
  
 The story of Achzivland began in the early 1950s, when Mr Avivi first visited the area. 
  
 He built his own home by the sea and met and married his wife Rina almost a decade later. 
  
 But in 1970, the Israeli Government obtained an order against him and bulldozed his home. 
  
 In retaliation, Mr Avivi declared the piece of land next to the Achziv National Park an independent nation — called Achzivland. 
  
 The BBC travelled to the micronation in 2015 to interview Mr Avivi about how Achzivland evolved. 
  
 "They [the Israeli Government] didn't like me making a little country," he told the BBC. 
  
 "They did everything they could to take me away from here. 
  
 "It's like I make something against Israel, but it's not true … I love Israel, the place, but not the Government." 
  
 The Avivis eventually reached an agreement with the Israeli authorities to pay for access to the sea, and created a "national" museum full of antiquities. 
  
 Achzivland became a hippie retreat to escape from work, responsibility, or money worries, with utopian ideals. 
  
 In 1972 the "country" hosted a Woodstock-like rock concert which drew a crowd of thousands, angering many residents of the surrounding towns. 
  
 Frequent visitors, drawn by the idyllic lifestyle and pristine coastline, included Sophia Loren, Shimon Perez and Paul Newman. 
  
 The Israeli Government never officially recognised Mr Avivi's micronation, but he would stamp visitors' passports if they entered through the foreboding fence sounding the tiny piece of land. 
  
 The legal fight over the world's "tiniest country" continues to this day. 
  
 Roy Arad, an Israeli poet, political activist and journalist described Mr Avivi as "a fighter, a lover and a bohemian". 
  
 Reflecting on his time visiting Achzivland just 10 days ago, Arad said Mr Avivi had been in hospital for several days. 
  
 "Today you can't invent unusual places like Achzivland," he said in Israel's Haaretz newspaper. 
  
 "I only hope the place survives against the market forces and proper governance." 
  
 Australia has one of the highest number of micronations in the world, with citizens choosing to establish their own rule and shrug off the shackles of the country's constitutional democracy. 
  
 The country's longest-running and arguably most successful micronation recently transitioned its rule. 
  
 After 47 years on the throne, Prince Leonard, the self-declared sovereign of the Principality of Hutt River, abdicated in favour of his 59-year old son Prince Graeme. 
  
 Prince Leonard was 92 years of age and suffering from emphysema.

Output:
The founder and president-for-life of one of the world's smallest unrecognized nations has died. Eli Avivi—who gained fame when he declared independence from Israel in 1971 and created the 3.5-acre micronation of Achzivland, populated by himself and his wife—died Tuesday, with his sister citing severe pneumonia, reports the BBC. He was 88. Avivi was well known among travelers, particularly hippies who ventured from all over the world to visit Achzivland on the Mediterranean Sea near Israel's border with Lebanon. Avivi arrived at the site, once the Palestinian fishing village of al-Zeeb, four years after it was conquered during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Avivi, who'd fought with the Jewish navy, took up residence in a lifeguard hut, per Haaretz, and was eventually joined by his wife, Rina, before Israel sent bulldozers to turn the area into a national park. The couple declared independence, destroying their Israeli passports, as they fought the plan. A subsequent court case and 1972 rock concert made Achzivland famous the world over before Avivi secured a deal in which he paid Israel for access to the site and the sea, whose din would become Achzivland's national anthem. Its similarly themed flag features a mermaid, but it was the micronation’s utopian ideals that attracted hippies and celebrities like Sophia Loren and Paul Newman; those who entered were treated to an Achzivland stamp on their passports, per ABC Australia. While the micronation's future is now in doubt, Avivi previously said he hoped Rina, 71, would continue to live at Achzivland after his death. She said she hoped to make the site a memorial to her husband, whom she called "the best president ever." (The US has its own sovereign nation.)
