Have you ever had a moment when you thought that being a grown-up was a really bad idea and you longed for the days of blanket forts and coloring? Or a moment after you paid your taxes when you decided you wanted to buy a deserted island<\/a> somewhere and start your own country? Well, somebody did.<\/p>\n

Time Magazine<\/a> reported yesterday that Vit Jedlicka, a member of the conservative Party of Free Citizens in the Czech Republic<\/a>, has created Liberland (and appointed himself president).<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s motto is: \u201cTo live and let live.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The project has already received roughly 20,000 applications for citizenship, according to Jedlicka, who estimated that the country will receive as many as 100,000 applications by the end of next week (Liberland\u2019s website has details of how to apply for citizenship, including sending an email of introduction\u2014a C.V. is optional). Jedlicka added that some people already have plans to relocate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The Serbian and Croatian Embassies in the United States did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n
