Justin Sun Elected Liberland's New Prime Minister
Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, has been elected as the new prime minister of Liberland, a self-proclaimed micronation located between Croatia and Serbia. Sun succeeds Vit Jedlicka, who founded Liberland in 2015 with a libertarian philosophy and Bitcoin as its official currency.
Liberland, which claims to be a 'free state', continues to develop as a symbol of free enterprise and digital currencies. It supports decentralized governance and innovative technologies. The electoral process in Liberland was entirely algorithmic, ensuring transparency in the selection of its new leader.
Sun, who stepped down from his position as head of the TRON Foundation in 2021 to become Grenada's representative to the WTO, brings significant wealth and technological expertise to Liberland. His assets, including TRON and Bitcoin, are valued at over $1 billion according to Arkham. Joining Sun in Liberland's Congress are entrepreneur Evan Luthra and journalist Gillian Godsil, indicating a diverse and innovative leadership.
Justin Sun's election as prime minister of Liberland signals a continuation of the micronation's commitment to digital currencies and free enterprise. Despite not being internationally recognized, Liberland continues to attract attention and support for its experimental approach to governance and currency.
