 What's up guys, EvilDeer here and today I want to speak about Liberland. Now I spoke about this micro-nation probably like a month or so ago because micro-nations just fascinated the shit out of me. There was a time a few years ago where I was reading about like every micro-nation. Sea land, the Heart River Proverance. You name them, the freaking hours researching them just because they fascinated me. The whole idea of creating a nation out of nothing. But obviously most micro-nations never leave the theoretical page. They're just on paper or in the internet or in the minds of their users. So for me the biggest problem with most micro-nations is that they just never get to a physical stage. And even if they do, they kind of just sit there and stagnate which is what happened with sea land and which is what happened with the Heart River Provence. They're both, I'd basically call them both dead micro-nations. They still exist, they're still going forward kind of. But they're more just kind of in an infinite loop, not really doing anything. But Liberland, that has been fascinating to watch from the perspective of looking at it as a micro-nation growing because it is definitely growing and I'll give massive kudos to the president of that micro-nation. I totally forgot his name, how cool is that? Sorry mate. But I give him massive kudos because he is freaking awesome at social media. If he doesn't start a micro-nation, I reckon he's got a job in social media because the guy knows what he's doing when it comes to that. Every day he's got news up, every day he's meeting some important person or made out to be important person either or it doesn't matter with politicians really. But he's meeting someone, he's getting photos done, he's presenting talks on the micro-nation and he's slowly building a pretty big hardcore gathering. So he's doing pretty freaking good. Now, I'm coming at this video or this whole micro-nation now with an Esperantist's mind, okay? This is something that only Esperantists would ever notice. Now, when Liberland first came out, I checked out the constitution and what I looked at because I'm a dirty Esperantist is languages, okay? Obviously the constitutional draft was written in English so English was obviously established as the main language but it also mentioned Czech as another official language and that's obviously because the president, that's his native language so I'm like, yeah, that's cool. And then there was a lot of Esperantists at the time saying let's campaign to get Esperantists into the constitutionals and I'm thinking, yeah, it's probably a good time. If there's ever a time to get Esperant recognized in a potential nation it would be during the micro-nation stage because once a country is established and everything it's pretty hard to get Esperant or any type of official status. But there's obviously other problems there because if the micro-nation burns and falls it makes Esperant look bad but yeah, it cares. I'm just looking at this as like the feasibility type of thing. So there was no mention of Esperant and a lot of Esperantists were campaigning for it but obviously not enough because now the second constitutional draft is out and there's now no mention of languages and it's just in English. So I don't know if that means that Czech is now been officially removed or something or if they're just going to put it back in later but it looks like English is the way they're going. But I've noticed a problem, you see. This potential country is going to be run mainly by people who are from European countries. Now, there may be a lot of Americans eventually coming in but you'll look at their social media page okay and although it's growing and they're doing everything right that you should in social media they're completely butchering the English language. I'm not trying to be mean here. I understand they're speaking a foreign language which is freaking hard. I'll give them kudos for that. Speaking English is a non-native man. That's pretty good work like being able to do that. But to be honest, they are butchering it and since you're trying to present like a professional image of this micro-nation and present it to the world it doesn't look good when you're butchering the language. You've got, you're using articles when you shouldn't be. You're using them or you're not using them when they should be, you know, like and the sentences are all weird construction. Some of them I don't actually understand what they're saying but it's kind of weird. And I think if you're going to have English as your official language at least get an editor in there who's good enough at the language to make it understandable. Now, most of the posts are understandable. I'm not saying they're not but they are very broken and it gives a very unprofessional image to the micro-nation and I love micro-nations. I love watching them grow but this made me think about something else. Regarding the Esperantists, if you guys are still out there and you're supporting Liberland why haven't you launched a Liberland Esperanto Association? I've seen Liberland Ghana Associations, Liberland Friggin Settlement Associations all these different ones launch a Liberland Friggin Esperanto Association. That would be pretty cool. It'd be interesting to see how many people actually sign up for that and then as an association you might actually be able to push Esperanto somehow into this micro-nation. Especially if you can somehow bring some type of financing in there or potential financing. I don't know. But that's just what I'm thinking. Now, I love micro-nations and I'm happy to help you guys out in whatever way I can. I reckon that would be pretty cool. Even if it... Okay, let's just assume that Liberland just falls and burns and completely disappears. It was fun while it lasted, wasn't it? It was fun pissing off the Croatian police? No, joking. We don't want to piss them off because they might shoot you. I don't know. Do they have guns in Croatia? Do the police carry guns? I know they had a civil war like years and years and years back but like I don't know how like brutal they are compared to the American police or the Australian police. I know they've been arresting people that have been trying to settle on Liberland which is kind of interesting that you've got people that are actually going out there trying to settle on it which is pretty good because that means the president's doing his work but now I'm just kind of segwaying off. So yeah, back to the core of this. If you're going to use English as your official language just on your Facebook page at least, your main Facebook page, get it and clean it up a bit, okay? Second, if you're an Esperanist and you support Liberland group the government, launch an association, the Liberland Esperanto Association. Imagine if you... Imagine trying to take that one to the Universal Esperanto Association. I wonder if you would be able to officially somehow get approved. I very doubt it. I very doubt the Universal Esperanto Association would want to be recognized with the Liberland Esperanto Association. But it would be interesting to try out. Anyway, that's it. I have rambled way too much in this video. So if you've liked my rambling, give it a like, share it around with your friends, subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and I'll see you in the next video. And if you're not there, that's because I'm assuming you've just settled in Liberland. No!
