Fans make Borat President of Kazakhstan

Borat fans have made the spoof journalist President of Kazakhstan.

Fans logged onto internet site Wikipedia and edited the page for the fictional character's home nation.

The alterations to the site said the country's motto is "High Five" and the national anthem opening line was changed to say: "Kazakhstan greatest country in the world. All other countries are run by little girls."

Wikipedia normally allows free editing of more than five million articles - but they have banned users from contributing to the Kazakhstan page.

According to The Sun, previous entries on pages for President Bush and Tony Blair have also been locked.

Wikipedia said false entries were usually spotted and corrected within minutes by other users.
