Libertarians rejoice: your new homeland, Liberland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberland

Liberland, officially the Free Republic of Liberland (Czech: Svobodná republika Liberland), is a self-proclaimed micronation claiming a parcel of land on the western bank of the Danube river between Croatia and Serbia, sharing a land border with the former. It was proclaimed on 13 April 2015 by Czech libertarian politician and activist Vít Jedlička.

There were attempts to name the place the Duchy of Grand Fenwick but they drew immediate

negative vibes from the estate of Leonard Wibberly

Seriously.............the number of citizens is quite limited right now. Two Hundred Thousand have applied

for citizenship. Open border policy......no Passports needed.

Sounds fun all, but Croatia won't let you in and it's pretty much just a swamp, so they have a ways to go.

what if I parachute in with my guns and my bitcoins?

Submarine on the Danube might work.

Actually access via the Danube doesn't seem to work either...

Why should one have to apply for citizenship? Sounds a little Big Brother-ish to me...

I'm pretty sure if you can get there they'll give you citizenship. Unfortunately for them, the closest they are to their country is a campsite in Serbia. So far Burning Man passes more soverignty tests than Liberland.

I really wish we could find a real country to give over to libertarianism. They could change their name to Lord of the Fliestan

Are they going to privatize the Danube?

Sounds like paradise.

Isn't that where WWI started?

OK, I know it was Sarajevo--stood in a sidewalk cast of Princip's footsteps once.

It can be argued that WWII started on that same sidewalk, same bullet.

Seriously. Whats wrong with the prominent western model where you have to pay off the govenment to dump whatever you damn well please.

It could never compete with your Douchebagistan.

In The Dispossessed the author, Ursula LeGuin, creates a totally anarchistic society, but it's on its own planet.
