<p>Liberland, Micronations, Claiming Free Land, Croatia, Serbia, The Singularity, Consciousness, Community, Free Republics.</p> <p>Timothy Allen talks with Vít Jedlička.</p> <p>Vit is the founder and president of the Free Republic of Liberland, a new micronation formed in 2015 which claimed an uninhabited parcel of disputed land on the western bank of the Danube, between Croatia and Serbia.</p> <p>This was my first time discussing the project on this podcast and, as a result my questions are quite rudimentary. Liberland’s story is absolutely fascinating and if this is your first exposure to it, you should definitely use this interview as a springboard to investigating the whole thing much, much further.</p> <p>Enjoy the conversation.</p> <p>Free Cities Telegram Community: <a href="https://t.me/+im6c6r4jQkUzMjU0">⁠⁠https://t.me/+im6c6r4jQkUzMjU0⁠⁠</a></p> <p>LIBERTY IN OUR LIFETIME CONFERENCE</p> <p><a href="⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>(0:30) Introduction.<br /> (4:09) Vit's background.<br /> (5:40) How do you find unclaimed land?<br /> (10:39) Liberland's border disputes.<br /> (16:03) Legal challenges to Croatia's control over Liberland.<br /> (20:42) Diplomatic recognition.<br /> (24:43) Liberland's unique governance model.<br /> (30:17) Can anyone build in Liberland?<br /> (36:25) Liberland's relationship with Croatian authorities.<br /> (42:34) Challenges with the Croatian police.<br /> (47:18) Describe a typical Liberlander.<br /> (55:06) Governance and justice.<br /> (1:02:07) Future plans.<br /> (1:10:48) Singularity, consciousness, and the future.<br /> (1:19:09) International relations timeline going forwards.</p> <p>TWITTER:</p> <p>Vít Jedlička: ⁠<a href="https://twitter.com/JedlickaVit">https://twitter.com/JedlickaVit</a></p> <p>Timothy Allen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://twitter.com/MrTimothyAllen">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/MrTimothyAllen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p> <p>Free Cities Foundation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://twitter.com/freecitiesfound⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/freecitiesfound⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>OTHER LINKS:</p> <p>Liberland: <a href="https://www.seasteading.org/">⁠https://liberland.org/en/</a></p> <p>Free Cities Foundation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://free-cities.org/⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://free-cities.org/⁠</a></p>
