I’m the President of the Liberland Settlement Association. We're the first settlers of Europe's newest nation, Liberland. AMA!

I am right now in Prague, at the Liberland embassy - following a press conference at the Hilton earlier today. Tomorrow I travel to Liberland/The Base Camp.

Liberland, both the mainland and the Island (Liberty Island) is almost completely undeveloped. There are no permanent structures at all (aside from a ruined house from the 80'ties), and no economic or human activities at all, aside from a bit of foresting & hunting.

Most of Liberland mainland is covered by thick forest - and there is a huge polulation of animals, esp. deers and wild pigs.

Liberty Island, there the LSA originally settled, is untouched by human hands (outside of our activities).

The Croatians are currently preventing Liberlanders to access Liberland, and even forcefully remove those who are found in Liberland, in direct violation of Int. law. Thus, we have also been forced out of our original settlement.

The present LSA base camp is thus located opposite Liberland on the Serbian side of the Danube. The base camp is complete with community tents, generators, WIFI, field sanitation, homebuilt showers, deep dug fridges etc. Very comparable to a small festival camp.

With direct access to the water front and with a pontoon boat bridge (as well as boats) we use the Base Camp to callenge the Croatians and to send activists into Liberland itself to maintain our claim, and enlist int. support for our cause, while our lawyers work on the legal side of things.

So - Liberland itself is uninhabited, but right next to it, Liberlanders (the LSA) maintain a base camp, much like what you would expect at a remote small festival site.

Does this answer your question?
