> When I was living in Sealand >20 years ago (another micronation project), was fun tracking the other projects -- this one was one of the most successful. Liberland and a few maritime efforts were as well. Liberland was never an attempt at building an actual state, it was just a scam meant to generate PR and extract money out of gullible suckers willing to buy a citizenship of a nonexistent state. Liberland's claimed territory (Gornja Siga) is not exceedingly inhabitable, given that the Danube floods it with water multiple meters deep every so often. And their terra nullius story is a lie, as there was never a chance the existing states that manage Gornja Siga would allow for a rogue state to form. The other thing is that the Liberland project was only announced in 2015, which doesn't fit your timeframe if I get you right.
