Liberland, a self-declared microstate located on disputed territory between Croatia and Serbia, has appointed Justin Sun, TRON founder and former ambassador to the World Trade Organization, as acting Prime Minister. The appointment follows Liberland's algorithmic blockchain-based voting system, which was used in their recent congressional elections. The microstate, which is not recognized by any country, is committed to using blockchain as the backbone of its governance and aims to be a model for decentralized democracy. With a population of around 1,000 registered citizens and 99% of its national reserves held in Bitcoin, Liberland faces challenges in sustaining its cryptocurrency-based economy and providing essential services. The microstate seeks recognition from various nations, but Croatia and Serbia remain dismissive. The appointment of Justin Sun signifies a new chapter for Liberland, combining libertarian ideals with blockchain innovation. However, the sustainability and success of Liberland as a libertarian haven depend on navigating geopolitical complexities and attaining international recognition.
