Self-proclaimed libertarian micro-state whose founder admires Nigel Farage welcomes its first citizens on Friday, with the first 100 arrivals to be granted honorary citizenship
Free association. Freedom of the individual. This community is for both philosophical and political libertarians of all kinds. It is in no way aligned with the Libertarian Party. We are a community in which to discuss free markets and free societies with free minds. As such, we truly believe in spontaneous order and don't formally regulate content.
Types of Libertarianism:
- Agorism
- Anarcho-Capitalism
- GeoLibertarianism
- Libertarian Left
- Mutualism
- Market Anarchism
- Objectivism
- Voluntarism

When I first got wind of this a few weeks ago, I immediately went to the website to check out citizenship requirements. It was basically a shell, with lots of "coming soon" text. Last week, Yaron Brook from the Ayn Rand Institute met with Vit Jedlicka. (Hard-core Objectivists typically dislike and don't get along with libertarians, so the meeting is curious.) It brought a huge smile to my face when I later saw how many had applied for citizenship. To be able to live in an area with others who really value and respect freedom... (heavy sigh) Well, one can dream.
I think projects like the Free State Project and The Seasteading Institute have more chance for success for peaceful co-existence because of funding, location, and the talented people working on them. But, in the end, I don't have hope for any of these projects. Living in peaceful co-existence isn't held back by lack of a patch of land (or sea) that some government tyrants haven't yet claimed. It's held back by a lack of good philosophy. Poor philosophy is the problem - not space.
I agree. How sad.
