Thousands of opponents of Catalan secession from Spain have attended a demonstration in Barcelona, in support of a fictional state called Tabarnia.
They say Tabarnia would itself split from Catalonia in order to stay part of Spain, were Catalonia to become independent.
The concept, established as a parody, has spread online.
Police in Barcelona said 15,000 people attended the march while organisers said it was far more.
Supporters waved Catalan, Spanish and invented Tabarnian flags, shouting: "The joke is over! Free Tabarnia!"
The name Tabarnia is an amalgamation of Barcelona and the coastal province of Tarragona. Creators of the fictional would-be state have also created their own national anthem and even currency.
