Welcome to Enclava, the latest Internet-spurred European micro-nation to be founded on unclaimed land near Croatia

(nydailynews) May 16 2015 - Europe has another new country — the second micro-nation to appear in a few weeks.

The Kingdom of Enclava, like the newly-established Liberland, has been declared on the border between Slovenia and Croatia, reports the Telegraph.

Like Liberland it has been established on land not claimed by the Slovenes or Croats.

Enclava is a 1,000 square foot patch of land and dubs itself as the "smallest country in Europe."

It has been established by a group of Poles but has no citizens yet, though 5,000 people have applied to be citizens.

It is the latest in a trend to establish micro-states across the world.

The trend is thought to be spurred on by the Internet, which has enabled micro-state founders to recruit "virtual" citizens, reports the Telegraph.
