TIL about Liberland, a micronation founded in 2015, who runs on a blockchain built on Polkadot (DOT)

Never heard about this before, I thought I'd share Liberland is a self-proclaimed country, it's very small (7km²/2.7sq miles) and is situated in Europe on the border of Serbia and Croatia. It's a disputed land between the two countries, so it's currently inaccessible It was created by a small group of people on April 13, 2015, at its head a Czech politician. He's the first and current president of Liberland. The official currency is Bitcoin ! Their moto is "Live and let live", and they even got a flag ! They created their own blockchain, built on Polkadot. The country is "run" on the blockchain. Citizenships, governance (DAO), and the judiciary system in the future ! The idea is to have to most democratic and free country in the world. The even were awarded the Web3 Foundation Grant in March 2023 A thousand people paid $5k to have their citizenship lmao, but the micronation isn't even recognized by any other country in the world If you want to check out more about Liberland, here's their website : https://liberland.org submitted by /u/ToshiSat |
