in april, the world's "third smallest sovereign state" was established: liberland. established on a small patch of unclaimed land created by the border dispute between croatia and serbia, the new country founded on the principles of libertarianism is currently battling for international recognition – although as reported by the new york times magazine in august, this remains a steep uphill struggle. in spite of these challenges, the european micronation is seeking ideas through a global design competition on how to masterplan its seven-square-kilometer territory. zaha hadid architects' patrik schumacher is one of the many experts that have been summoned to judge the proposals, of which aim to establish a "multi-stage" plan that will reflect liberland's libertarian and anarcho-capitalist values
