@republicofverdisofficial: A New Country Just Declared Itself in Europe The Free Republic of Verdis sits on a 124-acre strip of forest along the Danube River between Serbia and Croatia. Neither country claims the land under its own border maps, leaving it unclaimed since the breakup of Yugoslavia. Daniel Jackson, an Australian-born digital designer, declared independence on May 30, 2019, at age 18. He runs Verdis as a government-in-exile from Dover, England. Roughly 15,000 people have applied for citizenship. Croatian police detained Jackson and other settlers in October 2023, deported the group, and imposed a lifetime ban on Jackson. The land remains uninhabited. #verdis #danieljackson #newcountry #viral #worldnews
