Immigrant, Las Vegas real estate millionaire and political activist, Oliver was the founder of the micronation project
the Republic of Minerva, a failed attempt to create a sovereign state in the South Pacific in 1972.
In the following decades, Oliver and his Phoenix Foundation were also involved in similar projects on the Bahamanian island of Abaco and
in Vanuatu with the New Hebrides Autonomy Movement (MANH). He also published a manifesto of his libertarian beliefs.
Oliver is currently living in Vanuatu, but his nation building projects seem to be on hiatus.
