Czech man claims to establish new state; Liberland

A Czech man claims to have established a new state on the west bank of the Danube, it's reported.
Vit Jedlicka, a member of the Eurosceptic, conservative Party of Free Citizens, has declared that a 7-sq-km (2.7-sq-mile) patch between Serbia and Croatia is now the sovereign state of Liberland. Mr Jedlicka, Liberland's self-proclaimed "president", says it sits on an area of no-man's land - or terra nullius - between the two countries which isn't claimed by either of them.
As well as the flag, Liberland has a motto - "To live and let live" - and a website inviting people to apply for citizenship. Its founders say they want a country without "unnecessary restrictions and taxes", but make clear that communists, Nazis and other extremists need not apply. Mr Jedlicka says he has received hundreds of applications from people wanting citizenship, although currently the population stands at seven.
