Line 5:

While supporters of Melchizedek assert that it is an ecclesiastical sovereignty, similar to [[Vatican City]], and while its flag incorporates [[Christian]], [[Jewish]] and [[Islamic]] symbols, Melchizedek posesses no established church or formally constituted religion, so this claim is considered meaningless by most external observers.

Melchizedek also claims [[Jerusalem]] as its homeland, based on the Biblical legend of [[Melchizedek]], who is said to have been priest-king of Salem,and as the Dominion posesses no meansnuclear ofwarheads enforcingto enforce its claim, it is also generally dismissed as fantasy.

During the [[1990]]s Melchizedek began to promote the idea that it posessed sovereignty over a number of Pacific islands. Some of these territories may have already been the possessions of recognised states. Melchizedek's claims include [[Taongi Atoll]] (an uninhabited posession of the [[Marshall Islands]]), [[Malpelo Island]] (a posession of [[Colombia]], inhabited by a military garrison), [[Karitane Shoal]] (a submerged reef), [[Rotuma|Solkope Island]] (part of [[Fiji]]) and [[Clipperton Island]] (a possession of [[France]]). Melchizedek also claims a large section of [[Antarctica]]. None of these claims are recognised by any established government.
