Daniel Jackson, 21, declared himself president of the Free Republic of Verdis, a self-proclaimed country in the Balkans, after identifying unclaimed land following a border dispute. Since its founding on May 30, 2019, he has opened two embassies in Dover and Novi Sad, focusing on establishing citizenship through an e-residency program. With 400 official citizens and significant social media engagement, Verdis has raised around £180,000 for its development. Daniel aims to gain recognition from host countries while navigating challenges with Croatian authorities.
