Vít Jedlička is the Founder and President of the Free Republic of Liberland, a sovereign micronation established on April 13, 2015. With academic credentials in economics and political science from the University of Economics in Prague and the CEVRO Institute, Vít has spent over two decades advocating for liberty, inspired by classical liberal thinkers such as Bastiat and Rothbard.
Under his leadership, Liberland has grown into a global movement with over 780,000 registered citizenship applicants. The nation is internationally recognized for its forward-thinking use of blockchain-based governance, voluntary cooperation, and minimal state interference. Vít has also initiated NFX, one of the world’s largest community-driven internet networks, reflecting his entrepreneurial vision.
He has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, USA Today, CNN, Time, and Fox Business Network, and has spoken at top global forums including Bitcoin Miami, TEDx, Horasis Global Meeting, ALEC, and the St. Gallen Symposium.
Vít’s recent recognition includes the Gusi Peace Prize (2023) and a Humanitarian Award at the United Nations for his innovative contributions to peace and liberty. In 2024, he appointed blockchain pioneer Justin Sun as Liberland’s first Prime Minister following its first blockchain-based election.
His mission is clear: to build the freest nation on Earth, where blockchain governance, economic transparency, and individual liberty enable people to thrive free from excessive regulation and taxation.
