On April 13, 2015 a nation was declared in Europe - Liberland. Where is Liberland? It's found right between Croatia and Serbia. The new country was founded a political stunt, but it has quickly received enough support to the point where it became a real nation.

While it is odd that a new nation is being founded in 2015, Liberland continues to do things a bit more unorthodox. First, taxes are optional. Second, there will be no military. Third, Liberland's official currency will be a cryptocurrency. Which one? All of them, although Bitcoin will more than likely be the primary source of money. 

 

If you're interested, there are only a few requirements to become a citizen of Liberland:

 

-Have respect for other people and respect the opinions of others, regardless of their race, ethnicity, orientation, or religion

-Have respect for private ownership that is untouchable

-Do not have communist, nazi or another extremist past

-You were not punished for past criminal offenses

 

But you better get in line, because over 160,000 people have signed up so far, and the land can only hold roughly 5,000 people.

edit: they say no military... but are Croatia and Serbia going to get angry that they are losing land? What if they decide to take it over?

Logically, they bought the land from either of those countries.

Taxes are optional, they need to import everything and use bitcoin... I give it 6 months before they are completely broke and starving and ask croatia to let them in.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

From what I know that was noman's land, it was quite literally free for the taking. Some consequence of a disagreement between serbia and croatia I'm told.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

they probably had a meeting that went something along the lines of:

 

*secretary*: "sir you know that piece of land we never claimed on the border"

leader: "yes... what about it?"

*secretary*: "well someone just called us and they said they want to start their own nation on it"

leader: "really? pahahaha sure i guess let them have it, theres nothing there XD"

*secretary: "yes sir, i will let them know"

Yarrr,

 

Yeah this want be a thing for long.

 

They lack a coast line with either a sea or lake.

Ergo there are no pirates, and we all know this leads to a bitter doom.

YARRRRGGHH!!!!

 

How is there unclaimed land?

 

I thought that really wasnt a thing anymore. 

It's disputed land, technically controlled by Croatia.
