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.

who had come to view European democracies as blighted by stringent regulation and overtaxation.

No argument there.

Liberland: Crypto paradise or libertarian illusion? | DW Documentary​

Feb 12, 2026 #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs
Liberland is a country that doesn’t officially exist. A country that promises voluntary taxes and a lean state. It’s a libertarian utopia that’s finding more supporters worldwide.
After the Yugoslav Wars, the border between Serbia and Croatia along the Danube river remained unresolved. Vit Jedlička, a former politician from the Czech Republic, took advantage of this situation. He proclaimed the "Free Republic of Liberland” on a seven-square-kilometer piece of land in 2015. Liberland is not internationally recognized, and its president is not allowed to set foot on the soil of his republic. Croatia sees the founding of Liberland as an attack on its territorial integrity.
The film accompanies Samuela Davidova, influencer, crypto enthusiast, and spokesperson for Liberland, and Liberland‘s president, Vit Jedlička, on a journey into two very different worlds.
On the one hand, they travel to Dubai, a glittering metropolitan meeting place for crypto-enthusiastic elites. Here, they want to recruit investors — and new citizens.
And on the other hand, they travel to "Ark Village,” the base camp of the Liberland community on Serbian soil. Here, they celebrate the 10th anniversary of Liberland.
The highlight of the journey is a boat trip to the shores of Liberland. Liberland claims to function as a meritocracy: taxes are voluntary, but those who invest more have a greater say.
The Liberland experiment may seem like an oddity, but it also raises serious questions: Cryptocurrencies and decentralized networks are undermining traditional national borders, and radical market ideas are gaining influence. Parallel structures are emerging. Critics see them as a threat to democracy. Others, of course, sense opportunity.
