Tech giants are constantly expanding the metaverse, the virtual universe that’s shaping up to be the next generation of the Internet. But they aren’t the only ones. Many governments have recently expressed their desire to take part in the development of this digital double of the physical world. But why?

“Live and let live” is the motto of the Free Republic of Liberland, this seven square-kilometer micro-state located in the Balkans, on the banks of the Danube between Serbia and Croatia. This nation, led by Vit Jedlicka, now wishes to “live and let live” in the metaverse. It has partnered with the architectural firm Zaha Hadid Architects to help it move into this digital space of the future.
