From the boat, the Free Republic of Liberland doesn’t appear to be much. You would be surprised to learn that some of the richest men in the world, including the largest initial investor in the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture, are associated with this level, muddy area of floodplain on the Danube River, sprinkled with alder trees, tents, and treehouses.
In contrast, the virtual reality version of Liberland I that is currently on display was created by Zaha Hadid’s ZHA architecture firm and incorporates water features that defy gravity, shining buildings, and floating public parks.
The president of Liberland, Vě Jedliň, is the one demonstrating it to me. In order to create a fully libertarian, digital nation that uses the same technology as cryptocurrencies, he established the micronation on a disputed area between Serbia and Croatia.
For the past year, I have been in Liberland as part of The Tech Billionaire Takeover, a BBC Two documentary. Liberland could seem like a joke. However, some of the richest men in cryptocurrency are funding it, and it is based on the notion that the government itself can be replaced, which they are attempting to export.
