Wirtland ['wˇrtlənd] (aka: Virtlando; Виртландия; Hayalistan) claims to be the world's first internet-based sovereign country. Wirtland is an experiment into legitimacy and self-sustainability of a country without its own soil. An extract from Wirtland's Statute follows:
"While the boundaries of sovereign states are becoming symbolic in Europe, in other world's regions sovereignty is increasingly challenged, and separatism leads to bloodshed and terrorism. Both trends suggest for a serious rethinking of the notion of self-identification in a changing world. For an individual, who is not actively involved in political life, there are too few options for self-identification. We believe people should be offered a broader choice.
Wirtland's concept is a country that transcends national borders without breaching or lessening the sovereignty of any involved. Many people feel powerless when it comes to events that transpire within the governments of their home country, so the creation of a country where they can enact changes and contribute in a meaningful way makes them feel better. This idea can become a movement and, given time, can affect change in real world. Wirtland is the newest alternative for people's self-identification. It is a democratic and peaceful alternative.
Who can apply for becoming a Wirtlander? Everyone".
