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.

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

Forty five years ago there was an attempt to colonize the ocean and call it “Aqualandia”. The old boy that started the scheme was a guest on the JOE PINE SHOW. They even “sang” the Aqualandia national anthem.

Shades of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick. Shades of the The Mouse That Roared.

So the starts great Pinot Grand Enwick race. The U.S. is already behind because we have no Pinot Grand Enwick.

That was a good scene in one of the better episodes. Jimmy says all the right things to ingratiate himself with a guy he obviously disagrees with (though I agreed with him, hope the series follows up again with that guy...), and thinks he’s finally struck it big.

Good luck to the founder of Liberland. Would hate to live between those neighbors though.
