A quick history of civilization:

1215: The signing of the Magna Carta

1776: The signing of the Declaration of Independence

2015: The establishment of Liberland, the world’s first country powered by a blockchain

I want to learn more about this next chapter of civilization. So I’m here to visit Liberland, a tiny island between Croatia and Serbia. The island is about the size of Harlem. In something of a diplomatic quirk, neither country really wanted the land, and for years it languished as barren, unclaimed territory. (The short version: The border between the two former Yugoslavian countries isn’t a straight line, but a disputed zig-zag, and if Croatia or Serbia “claimed” the island, that would, paradoxically, endorse a definition of the borders that would lose territory elsewhere. The island was a consolation prize no one wanted.)

Then someone claimed it. In 2015, a young Czech named Vit Jedlička declared that the island would, henceforth, be known as Liberland, that it would be founded on libertarian principles, and that anyone who wants to join is welcome. Oh, and it would govern itself on a blockchain. There are now 560,000 residents, or rather e-residents.

I had visions of rowing a canoe across the Danube river, docking on the shores of Liberland, and then walking on the very soil that will, one day, give birth to this new utopia. I would meet the brave men and women who are setting up the tents and huts, like modern day Pilgrims. I would tell my grandkids. I would preserve the soil for posterity, or maybe I’d sell it on eBay.

How to get there? I attend a crypto meet-up in Belgrade—about 120 miles away from the island—at a bar called the Miner’s Pub. Over craft beers I ask how to get to Liberland.
