A libertarian Czech politician just laid claim to a possibly unclaimed chunk of land that might not be part of Serbia or Croatia. His idea is to set up a libertarian tax-haven microstate.

If this gains any traction it will be interesting to see how it plays out in in terms of legality of the state's existence. If that gets established, it will be even more interesting to see how its neighbours try to destroy it without looking like that it what they are doing. More invisible non-wars between "separatists".

"Gault's Gulch" is never gonna happen. Human nature would destroy it from within eventually.

Atlas Mugged: How a Libertarian Paradise in Chile Fell Apart

Two years after Galt's Gulch Chile was founded, the utopian project is mired in personal and legal conflicts and investors now claim that the guy in charge is a sociopath and a con man.

I disagree with your term "human nature", but we can argue that elsewhere. I do agree that the constituents will probably destroy it, even if they are carefully selected. I allow that an exceptionally selected membership might (!) work, but I am still skeptical on that. So, +1 for your post, but I hope to actually see an exception.

A Crypto Micronation Is Making Friends at the White House​

When I visited the Free Republic of Liberland in April 2023, on its eighth anniversary, there was little to indicate that the tiny proto-nation—which had no permanent residents, barely any buildings, and a tendency to flood—was on track to fulfill its goal of becoming “the freest country on the planet.” But these days, Liberland has friends in high places.

Liberland was founded in 2015 by Vít Jedlička, a euro-skeptic politician from Czechia who had come to view European democracies as blighted by stringent regulation and overtaxation. In search of somewhere to start afresh, Jedlička came across a rare plot of land that seemed to belong to no country—a terra nullius, or no man’s land.

With Chinese crypto billionaire Justin Sun as its prime minister, Liberland ...

FYI - Justin Sun has many detractors that accuse him of all manner of shady shenanigans and/or outright fraud.

No argument there.
