If we accepted everyone, we would be larger than Iceland.
– Liberland founder, Vit Jedlicka
If there was ever a sign that people are hungry, starving actually, for freedom and an escape from the corrupt and overbearing global status quo, this is it.
Welcome to the Free Republic of Liberland, seven square kilometers of unclaimed land between Croatia and Serbia, which intends to becomes the world’s newest, and most free, sovereign state. To prove Ron Paul’s contention that “freedom is popular,” Liberland has already received 360,000 applications for citizenship, including 600 architects.

The loss of constitutional government in the United States can be revealed now that the 2009 Climategate emails have finally led us to the unmitigated arrogant selfishness (hubris) of world leaders and the scientists they fund,

The $64,000 question is just this: “Can society be returned to sanity (contact with REALITY: Every atom, life and planet in the solar system is sustained by NEUTRON REPULSION in the Sun’s pulsar core – an EMPIRICAL FACT world leaders and government scientists HID FROM THE PUBLIC for 70 years) without undergoing a crash landing of the world’s entire economic and social order?
more ‘libertarian’ nonsense.
there is massive history of micro-nations and island nations. and in the past 30-40 years the hippies and libertarians and creatives have tried these types of projects for a long time in pockets of the u.s. , just by buying their own land in remote areas and making their own worlds.
more recently silicon valley conmen came up with blueseed, while nyu professors are talking about buying land contracts in guatemala from the guatemalen government. other people even talk about the bay area forming its own separate state from california, or texas seceding.
there are many ideas for separation but none of them usually very practical. pullman town in south chicago was so successful that its potential failure into communist striking brought in the .gov to end Pullman town. company/corporate towns have been regulated out of existence but are thought of by the libertarians as corporate and bad.
the question of self determination and self control is trivialized by the extreme cases in which practical problems of reality are never confronted. all micro nation fantasies eventually , if successful to begin with, fall flat upon the rocks of social complexity and social tension. large groups of more than 20 families quickly result in problems of the commons, jealously , social tension, and just bad luck of disparate groups simply not getting along.
the closest we have to micro-nations now in the u.s. are google and face-books corporate existence.
the libertarian movement to move to new hampshire is possibly an interesting movement but does not a micro-nation make. and seaworld is an anomoly for the time being. it will one day be reclaimed by the british military or bombed out of existence.
if you want an example of cohesive brainwashing cults in the u.s. , there are plenty of those, but i won’t give scientology and other groups a mention here, because a cult is different than a micronation in degree. the degree of insularness and togetherness however, makes a true cult distinct from a micronation in the sense that is built on extremely narrow foundations.
that said, it is possible that most micronations at one time started out as a small cult of people with a firm purpose.
taiwan, israel and south korea were all small groups of people seeking soveriegn determination , and with slow and steady effort attracted followers and sovereign recognition from superpowers on their way to nation statehood.
most people don’t think micro-nations need to be violent. but at some point in their lifetime , in they succeed in surviving long enough , they will always encounter hostilities. the question is how they deal with hostile elements. like switzerland? like hong kong? do they fight? do they die?
these questions are wide ranging and tough to answer, and they show that the trivial case of the hypothetical dream state is an annoying child like dead end of thought without consideration for practical realities.
well said…so what are some
viable options?
Unclaimed land between Serbia and Croatia??? Impossible.
