Beyond Borders

Welcome to Liberland: Freedom or Fantasy?


Listen Later

Welcome to Liberland, the self-declared micronation in the heart of Europe, that claims to be building a new country from scratch. Sold as a tax-free utopia with no government interference and a crypto-powered economy, Liberland has attracted libertarians, adventurers, and digital nomads from around the world.

 

But is this bold experiment in freedom a genuine blueprint for the future of nation-building, or an elaborate illusion built on disputed land that it may never legally control?

 

Beyond Borders investigates the vision, the politics, the believers, and the controversy behind one of the world’s most ambitious and polarising attempts to create a new country.
