Try Liberty
What happens when you plant a flag on unclaimed land and declare a new country built on libertarian principles? In our very first episode, Steven Nekhaila sits down with Vít Jedlička — founder and president of the Free Republic of Liberland — to find out. Founded in 2015 on a 2.7 sq mi parcel of disputed land between Serbia and Croatia, Liberland has grown from a radical experiment into something nobody expected: a functioning micro-state with over 800,000 citizenship applications from nearly every country on Earth. And the people applying? Not just dreamers. Javier Milei — now President of Argentina — is a citizen. So are tech entrepreneurs, economists, and freedom advocates from around the world. In this conversation, we cover: → How Liberland was founded and why Croatia tried to stop it → The governance model: a DAO-based meritocracy with no traditional bureaucracy → Why Vít read Frédéric Bastiat's "The Law" at 13 and never looked back → 800,000 citizenship applications — who's applying and why → High-profile citizens including Javier Milei → Liberland's presence at Davos (one of only 11 countries with a house there) → The philosophy: decentralization, private ownership, and automation → Future plans for international recognition and constitutional development → Partnerships with libertarian parties worldwide → Invitation to the Libertarian Party Convention in Michigan Whether you think Liberland is a proof of concept or a pipe dream, this conversation will make you think differently about what's possible when people stop asking for permission. — TIMESTAMPS: [00:56] Introduction [02:04] What is Liberland?
