The Free Republic of Liberland, located between Serbia and Croatia, announced the results of its parliamentary elections on Tuesday. Sun Yuchen, the founder of the public chain Tron, will serve as the Prime Minister of this micronation.
According to Liberland’s statement, Sun Yuchen was selected as Prime Minister by the country’s President, Vít Jedlička. In addition to Sun, Indian entrepreneur Evan Luthra, Web3 journalist Jillian Godsil, and former Croatian Parliament member Ivan Pernar were also elected as new members of parliament.
Established in 2015, Liberland claims a territory of 7.2 square kilometers and self-proclaims itself as “the first country to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as its official currency.” According to a previous statement released by the country, its government operates on a “decentralized online platform” that allows citizens to participate. In the recent elections, Liberland utilized a “blockchain-based voting system.”
Sun Yuchen expressed his delight on social media platform X, stating that he is honored to be chosen as the Prime Minister of Liberland. His goal is to continue promoting the concept of small government within Liberland and hopes to serve as an example to the world. He stated, “Our success can inspire other countries to embrace the principles of libertarianism.”
