The Free Republic of Liberland, located between Serbia and Croatia, announced the results of its parliamentary elections on Tuesday, with Tron founder Justin Sun set to become the Prime Minister of this micronation.
According to Liberland's statement, Justin Sun was appointed Prime Minister by the country's President Vít Jedlička. In addition to Sun, Indian entrepreneur Evan Luthra, Web3 journalist Jillian Godsil, and former Croatian MP Ivan Pernar were also elected as new members of parliament.
Not internationally recognized, Liberland was founded in 2015, claiming a territory of 7.2 square kilometers, and it self-identifies as "the first country to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as its official currency." According to a previous statement from the country, its government operates on a "decentralized online platform," allowing citizens to participate. In the recent elections, Liberland utilized a "blockchain-based voting system."
Justin Sun expressed his happiness on social media platform X to see the community elect him as Prime Minister of Liberland, stating his goal is to continue promoting the idea of a small government within Liberland and hopes to serve as a model for the world. He stated, "Our success can inspire other countries to embrace libertarian principles."
