A 21‑year‑old British man named Danijel Jackson proclaimed himself the president of a micro‑state he created on a tiny parcel of land between Serbia and Croatia. He possesses a specially issued passport that ranks second in size only to the Vatican’s document. The self‑declared nation has attracted media attention for its unusual status. The United Nations recently granted him recognition for humanitarian activities. The UN acknowledgment relates to work carried out under his micro‑state’s banner. Jackson’s claim to statehood remains unrecognized by most countries. His story has been shared through photographs and video.
