Uzupis: The world's smallest republic in the middle of Vilnius | DW English

Uzupis, in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, is the smallest republic in the world. Everything's different in this republic of artists. Article 16 of the Uzupian constitution even guarantees everyone the right to happiness. And for those who find they don't like being happy, Article 17 provides them with the right to unhappiness. And Uzupis isn't the only smallest thing in Lithuania: p.dw.com/p/2prHo

The money is backed with beer. Most countries back their currency with gold. Nice.

[@kipras4699]

it's "Republic"

[@Exorbity]

In most countries, there are probably no issues if you call your own house a republic or kingdom. The problems instantly appear, however, when you declare this "smallest country" in your tax return. Then it turns out you don't even have a square inch of independent territory.

[@ianevansbrown8285]

You go to forest, so easy. Take bag and tent. Remember Summer so much warmer. North East , towards

[@ianevansbrown8285]

But you are on wrong side of town

[@crsx1861]

Wait, what does Lithuania say of it. Is this like the Serbia-Kosovo thing?

[@prussianblue2767]

Not really, they declared their independence at April Fools as a joke, and now they are a micronation like Sealand, Seborga and others.

[@ianevansbrown8285]
