Have you ever heard of LIBERLAND? The self-declared micro-nation that sits on a mysterious 7km plot of land on the border of Serbia and Croatia? If not, then you will be absolutely shocked by what I'm about to share with you in this 33-minute video - one of my favorite stories of the year!
The 'country' of Liberland was founded in 2015 by a Czech libertarian named Vít Jedlička, and it was built on one simple principle: FREEDOM. More than 900 citizens already have their Liberland passports (yes, they are real!!), and this legal document allows them to enter several U.N. countries such as Haiti, Malawi and Colombia. Word on the street is spreading, and now more than 700,000 people are on the list to get their e-residency cards.
I recently went to Liberland's annual festival called 'Floating Man,' and I was really inspired by the conversations that I had. There were so many creative and forward-thinking minds in one place, with a lot of optimism for the future of Liberland to gain full independence. But one thing didn't feel right to me... It is extremely difficult to enter the physical land.
Both the Serbian and Croatian border police are guarding Liberland 24-7, along the banks of the Danube River, and they will arrest anyone who tries to step foot on the land itself.
In this video, I uncover the full Liberland story and go on a wild mission to land on its soil.
What are your thoughts on Liberland? Would love to hear in the comments below. My team and I have never worked harder on editing a video, and we'd love your feedback.

This little video shows a lot about the concept of nations and the human psychology. There is basically just a beach. It could be Serbia, it could be Croatia. The beach doesn't care. But yet Drew was so jacked up just to touch the sand of this beach and he almost didn't care if he goes to jail for it. Only because someone gave this beach the name "Liberland".

It's much more complicated.
