Birth Of A Nation

Nope not talking about the movie from the 20’s, which was a bit racist, but the birth of a real live nation……awhile back I wrote a post about this Israeli dude that was pissed at the nation of Israel and started his own country on his little slice of land……..An Israeli man has been ruler of his 3.5-acre “country” for more than 40 years……

I liked the idea……had enough of BS from your government then declare your own country….(did not someone make a movie about something along these lines?)

It seems there is another brave soul that has had enough……

There is a staggering amount of bloodshed associated with nationhood movements in the Balkans, but a Czech politician says the new country he has declared is a peaceful—and real—project. On Monday, Vit Jedlicka appointed himself president of Liberland, which sits on 2.7 square miles of what he says is unclaimed territory between Serbia and Croatia on the south bank of the Danube, reports the BBC. The population currently stands at seven, but application for citizenship can be made through Liberland’s website, which says more than 20,000 people have already applied. People with respect for others and for private property are welcome, the website says, and people with Communist or Nazi pasts are not.

Jedlicka, a member of the Czech Republic’s libertarian Party of Free Citizens, tells Time that Liberland started out as a protest, but is “turning out to be a real project with real support.” Wisely, he says the new country—which has the national motto “To Live and Let Live”—will have no military and will offer only “passive defense” if it meets opposition from its neighbors. In the incredibly unlikely event that Liberland becomes an actual country, it will be the third-smallest in the world behind Vatican City and Monaco, notes Slate, which wishes its “brave citizens” luck whether the project turn out to be “publicity stunt, impossible dream, or future libertarian utopia.

What amazed me is that in this day that there4 was a piece of land not claimed…..
