Verdis, officially called Free Republic of Verdis, is a unrecognised micronation[1] that started on an unclaimed piece of land next to the Danube River between Croatia and Serbia[2] next to Liberland. Verdis was founded on May 30, 2019 by Australian game developer[3] Daniel Jackson. Verdis claims to have 400 citizens.[4][5][6][7]
Verdis' official website, as the one of Liberland, says the nation was created in no one's land (terra nullius)[8] that emerged because Croatia and Serbia did not manage to get to an agreement related to their borders for over 25 years.[citation needed] This border dispute includes somes areas to the east of the Danube River that are claimed by Serbia and by Croatia. Croatia considers some areas on the west of the river, including Verdis, as part of Serbia, though Serbia does not claim those lands anymore.[9][10]
