 We are a group seeking for independence and true human values.
The project started in may 2000 as a personal philosophical project and it developed getting members after the cartoon scandals in 2005 where we made a stand against politically correctness as we consider it as a politically correct name for censorship.
In 2007 due to the highly intellectual level of our members we were invited to participate on the exhibition about the possibilities of creating ones own country and self-government at the museum of contemporary arts of Paris, Palais de Tokyo, together with John Lennons project Nutopia, the free state of Christiania, State of Sabotage, Sealand and other similar projects.
In 2008 we were offered a 2mx5m stand in the biggest hobby fair of Denmark, and we hosted the fifth free olympics, a web event where nine other similar projects competed against eachother.
We are looking for members that have engagement and who are willing to form local protest groups, or members who are just tired of all the madness surrounding us and dream of a place where to institute a family is not a paranoia on a kafkanian state police overflowing with taxes.
We are a minarchy, this means, very basic and simple rules, if any, minimum power to government and the erradication of bureaucracy and corruption, where you will be able to settle in a community of your choice or live by your own rules, where we will have a city with all basic needs.
The people involved on the project are mainly artists, webdesigners, doctors, librarians and university students, some with military knowhow and will to keep the right of every member of our nation.
Our constitution is the international declarations of human rights of 1948, a time when nations were tired of struggle and desired peace to human kind.
Our flag is white indicating our desire for peace, with a coat of arms that indicate our will to defend ourselves with no bearers (as we can sustain ourselves) a blue mantle over the coat of arms: in a blue field a golden lily, indicating the two things we love most, clear skies and water reflecting it and nature blossoming in all its beauty.
