With the advent of modern communication and means of travel, it seems unlikely there is any area of the world left unclaimed by one nation or another. But such land does, or in fact did exist within Europe, and one man has just made his claim to it and created a brand new European nation. The man in question is former Czech Vit Jedlicka. He is now the president of the Free Republic of Liberland, which is a 7km2 stretch of land on the west bank of the Dunube river between Serbia and Croatia. It is actually disputed land by the Serbian and Croatian governments, neither currently own it, and therefore it was classed as no man’s land.

That’s because you couldn’t see them. All 160k will fit in a thimble.

Reminds me of the “Better Call Saul” episode where Saul is sitting in the huge living room of the huge house and the guy wants to turn his 5000 acre ranch into his own country.
He agrees to pay a million bucks to keep him on retainer as his lawyer. Cash.
Saul opens up the briefcase filled with hundred dollar bills. Removes the paper band off one stack. It's the face of the rancher.
“Yep - you'll be first in - those are uncirculated! Just had them printed up last month!”

He only did this so he can get US foreign aid. He will soon have so much money that his descendants will never even be able to spend it all.

America isn’t sending him any money. He is not muslim and he is not blaming Israel for anything.

He will likely declare War on the USA, then surrender and collect billions.
Boy, somebody could make a movie out of that. They could call it The Mouse that Roared

He’ll need a ham call sign prefix for Liberland. The DXers will go crazy to contact someone operating in Liberland. But, he’ll have to import a ham to operate there.
