Justin Sun Elected Prime Minister of Micronation Liberland Again

Justin Sun has been elected prime minister of the tiny country of Liberland again following a second round of congressional elections earlier this month.

Justin Sun has once again been elected prime minister of the micronation Liberland.

The results of the nation’s so-called “test election” were tallied on Saturday. Sun was previously elected prime minister in a separate test election in October.

Following his election, Sun pitched his plans for Liberland to the country’s president Vít Jedlička in a video published on Monday.

In the video, Sun highlighted the importance of a strong relationship with the US, describing incoming President Donald Trump as a “bold man” who makes “unprecedented” moves. Because of this, Sun claims that Liberland can secure a diplomatic relationship with the US by following US policies, which “most of the Earth” does.

He also claimed that Liberland has many allies within Trump’s administration, including Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who also supports Tether. Sun said he will be meeting Eric Trump and Wiktoff during the January 20 inauguration.

Finally, Sun wants Liberland to be active in the crypto industry to attract digital nomads and entrepreneurs.

Liberland bases its claim to sovereignty on an old territorial dispute over 7 km² of land between Serbia and Croatia. However, no other country recognizes the micronation.

Kenny Li, who co-founded the privacy-focused DeFi platform Manta Network, was one of the two newly elected officials. Jillian Godsil, the only woman elected at the previous election, wasn't re-elected.

It’s unclear if Sun has actually visited Liberland and he hasn’t posted about it on X since November 29 when he said the region is considering using Elon Musk’s face on its currency.

Sun’s more recent antics include reaching out to crypto publisher CoinDesk to complain about the tone of an article that covered his banana art-eating stunt. The article was ultimately pulled, but not without objections from several CoinDesk journalists. A Sun-advised crypto entity is also suing Coinbase over its decision to delist WBTC.

Protos has reached out to Liberland to find out more about the elections and Sun’s role as PM.
