PARIS, March 26 — Tech giants are constantly expanding the metaverse, the virtual universe that’s shaping up to be the next generation of the internet. But they aren’t the only ones.
This nation, led by Vit Jedlicka, now wishes to “live and let live” in the metaverse. It has partnered with the architectural firm Zaha Hadid Architects to help it move into this digital space of the future. They will be able to visit city hall, access coworking spaces, stores, business incubators and even an art gallery dedicated to NFT exhibitions.
The Free Republic of Liberland isn’t just launching itself into the metaverse as a way of jumping on a trend, but also to establish its presence on the international scene. The functioning of this institution in the metaverse has not been detailed, but the government of the small Caribbean island has indicated that it will provide online consular services, as well as a teleportation portal to other virtual universes.
Its project involves creating a virtual communications ecosystem, covering all the fields in which the municipal administration operates.
