Liberland, officially the Peoples Republic of Liberland, is a micronation claiming an uninhabited parcel of disputed land on the western bank of the Danube, between Croatia and Serbia. It was proclaimed on 13 April 2015 by Czech libertarian politician and activist Vít Jedlička.[3][9]
The official website of Liberland states that the nation was created due to the ongoing Croatia–Serbia border dispute,[10][11][12] in which some areas to the east of the Danube are claimed by both Serbia and Croatia, while some areas to the west, including the area of Liberland, are considered part of Serbia by Croatia, but Serbia does not claim them.
The size of the land in question is 7 km2 (2.7 sq mi), or roughly the same as Gibraltar. It has been administered by Croatia since the Croatian War of Independence.[13] There has been no diplomatic recognition of Liberland, although it has established relations with Somaliland (also unrecognized).[14][15] The land lacks infrastructure and lies on a floodplain.[16][17]
