Meet The Man Who Made His Own Country: The President of Liberland Talks Blockchain, Immigration...

What can you do when you are dissatisfied with the political processes within your country? Well, technically, you could start a new one.

It was in 2015 when Czech politician Vít Jedlička announced the creation of The Free Republic of Liberland on the west bank of the Danube river.

Situated between Croatia and Serbia on a disputed area of land 7km² in size, the micronation has since made headlines for its optional tax system and an economic and legal system built on blockchain as well as seeing over 200,000 people from across the globe apply for citizenship within the first week. Although the third smallest ‘sovereign state’ after the Vatican and Monaco, it is yet to be formally recognised by any country in Europe. Despite this, the citizenship applications continue to pile in as self-declared President Vit brushes shoulders with prominent politicians at speaking events around the world.
