this article is about the Kingdom of Redonda with official recognition of the Micronational Professional Registry organisation. The Micronational Professional Registry was contacted by William Leo Timlin, who styles himself as His Imperial and Royal Majesty William I, Emperor of Redonda. While HIRM William I has told us that he is the sole legitimate claimant to the Kingdom of Redonda, now called the Empire of Redonda, no evidence has been provided for this since 9 September 2008, including a mentioned copy of a "Deed of Irrevocable Covenant". The Micronational Professional Registry will continue to recognise the claim of HRH Giancarlo Ezio I of Montedoglio to the Kingdom of Redonda until strong evidence is presented to the contrary.

The Kingdom of Redonda is structured since 1865 as an absolute monarchy, and is connected with the island of Redonda, an unpopulated Caribbean island now part of Antigua and Barbuda. It lies 54 km or 33 miles WSW of the main island, Antigua, and can be seen from there. It is an extinct volcano steeply protruding from the sea.
Christopher Columbus discovered Redonda on 11 November 1493 during his second journey, claimed it for the Spanish crown and named it Santa Maria la Redonda, but did not land on it.
