In this episode of The Quantum Podcast, Christopher Smith sits down with Vít Jedlička, the president and founder of Liberland — a micronation built on the principles of freedom, voluntary governance, and blockchain-based democracy.

Vít shares how Liberland evolved from a bold idea into a real emerging nation with citizens, elections, governance systems, and people physically building homes on its land. He explains how a "no man's land" on the Danube became a global signal for people who value sovereignty, minimal bureaucracy, voluntary taxation, and decentralized governance.

The conversation explores the rise of network states, the philosophy behind self-governance, the role of blockchain in eliminating bureaucrats, and why hundreds of thousands of people have applied for Liberland citizenship. Vít also breaks down their hybrid political structure blending democracy, monarchy, corporate governance, and smart contracts into a living constitutional system running on a sovereign blockchain.

They discuss everything from resistance to global government, to taxes as a form of failed civilization, to AI citizens, to the future of parallel societies built from the ground up. A rare look into the mindset and mechanics behind one of the world's most daring experiments in governance.
