This newly established country between Croatia and Slovenia covers an area of just 93 square meters (1,001 square feet)

Earlier this year, the news that a 31-year-old by the name of Vít Jedlička had established a brand new country in Europe made headlines. 

Well, it's happened again. This time, it was a group of guys and gals from Poland who, after zooming in on an unclaimed patch of land on the border between Slovenia and Croatia, claimed it as their own and turned it into the Kingdom of Enclava.

There are villages way bigger than this country

As mentioned, the newly formed Kingdom of Enclava sits on the border between Slovenia and Croatia. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, it is located at a distance of merely 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) from Croatia's capital city, Zagreb.

Although its founders claim that the Kingdom of Enclava is a country through and through, it would appear that, at least size-wise, there are towns and even villages way more impressive and imposing.

Not to beat about the bush, word has it that this very young country that claims to be the latest addition to Europe's geography spans over an area of just 93 square meters (some 1,001 square feet).

Besides, it does not yet have any citizens. Then again, the country's founders say that well over 5,000 people have until now applied to become proud inhabitants of the Kingdom of Enclava, so this problem should soon be dealt with.

A constitution centered around personal freedom and eliminating all taxes is now in the works, so future Kingdom of Enclava residents might actually get to enjoy a fairly pleasant life.

“Everyone, regardless of skin color, religion or nationality, will be able to express their opinions, study for free, and earn money without worrying about taxes,” promises Kingdom of Enclava founder Piotr Wawrzynkiewicz.

The new country is yet to be officially recognized

Just like Vít Jedlička's Free republic of Liberland between Serbia and Croatia, the Kingdom of Enclava is yet to be officially recognized as a European country, which makes its cool-looking flag a tad pointless.

Besides, not to rain on anybody's hopes and dreams or anything of the like, but odds are neither of these new nations will be recognized as actual countries anytime soon. Not when they are both smaller than your average village and don't have at least a handful of people to call their citizens.
