Enclava– The Newest Country:
The world welcomes the
newest country which is
the size of a backyard.
After Yugoslavia broke,
forming several countries,
there were
many pockets
of unclaimed
land between
the borders.
These lands
are called ‘No
Man’s Land’.
There is an
Oscar winning
movie by the
same name. Enclava is built on one
such unclaimed territory.
The founders of Enclava plan to create a
community free from
discrimination. Where
people will be able to interact in 5 languages:
English, Polish, Slovenian, Mandarin and Croatian.
More than 5000 people
have already applied for

By Angad Madaan

the honourable
citizenship of
this country.
However there

are no plans to
accept this
country on the
world map. Enclava measures
just 100sq mts
in area, just
the size of a
backyard or
front garden.
It has been announced as the
smallest country.
Its founder

claims that the country has
the right to exist because
it has been established on
the land claimed by neither
Croatia nor Slovenia. Piotr
Wawrzynkiewicz ,
one of the founders said the idea
was to create a
place where everyone would exist
regardless of any
sort of discrimination.
I strongly believe
that these virtual
nations are just posing a
threat to the already
threatened 'World Peace'.
Newer nations are very
small in size, they have no
population and would invite
tensions from the countries
they border. Moreover,
creating a system in a virtual nation is by no means going to be easy. My suggestion would be that such land
which is a discovery of the
internet, and is gathering
citizens from across the internet, be rested as a responsibility of the United
Nations.
