It is a micro-state at an undisclosed location, created as a satire of France and European microstates by Benoît Delépine, Christian Borde and Christophe Salengro.
[4] In 1992, Delépine joined the writing team of Ce soir avec les nouveaux, a sketch comedy program.
The co-writer on the show, Christian Borde, helped further develop the concept through his experiences of living in Andorra and Monaco.
[6] Although Ce soir avec les Nouveaux was not renewed in 1993, Delépine, Salengro and Borde joined Nulle Part Ailleurs on the same channel where they continued to produce sketches as part of a recurring series from 1993 to 2001 called Les Nouvelles Neuves ("The New News"), later renamed CANAL International, then 20H20.
In it, Delépine and Borde reprise roles created as part of the sketch series, respectively reporter Michael Kael and news presenter Jules-Édouard Moustic.
