The main entrance to the Territory is guarded by a huge gate with a mechanical craft lock designed and made by Monsieur Georges Dubois, an Anserville (Oise ) ironsmith . The applicable protocol requires the artist-President to receive and take leave of his guests at the gateway. The names and capacity of the visitor are announced out loud, in a clear voice, by the caretaker, whenever he is in . This method is practised for reasons of minimal security: an on-the-spot voice detecting system enables us to outwit unwelcome imposters hoping for unmentionable reasons to obtain entry and pass themselves off as that which they are not...This is likely to occur more and more often considering the VD mutations we are exposed to. To deal with all possible dangers the Territory has a further means of (infallible) protection available: three "sniffing hounds" hammered out by Monsieur Dubois, Anserville (Oise) ironsmith.
