Sovereignty Project Directory is a filterable catalog of micronations, special economic zones, free cities / ZEDEs, network-state and pop-up projects, seasteading pitches, and semi-recognized polities. It is the tool version of the map — not a passport shop, inspired by Free Citadels.
The useful question is which category a project sits on. A Danube booklet, a Colón warehouse, a Roatán ZEDE, a Catawba e-corporation, and a Florianópolis pop-up are different products. Filter, then open the MLL guide when we have one.

How to Read the Categories
Micronation = self-declared, usually no host consent. SEZ = host customs or tax box. Tribal / digital SEZ = host sovereign with a commercial sandbox (Catawba). Charter city / ZEDE = host-state city experiment. Network state = cloud community that wants land later. Pop-up = temporary village. Seasteading = water jurisdiction pitch. De facto = real administration, contested recognition. Operator = VC, foundation, or layer on top of a zone.
Latin America is not the whole table, but it is the part we file. Prospera, Morazán, Colón, Ipê City, Vitalia, Crecimiento, and Bitcoin Jungle are on this list because clients actually ask. Praxis and Network School are included because readers comparing sovereignty projects often ask about them.
What This Is Not
It is not a recognition list. Live does not mean a UN seat. Announced does not mean a city exists. A pop-up is an event. Ended means the experiment stopped — Rose Island, Hutt River. Disputed means the host state or the law is in a fight (Liberland, Verdis, some ZEDE politics).
This page is an MLL classification tool with our guides attached, inspired by Free Citadels’ profile/sponsor format. We do not sell micronation passports.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sovereignty Project Directory?
A filterable catalog of micronations, SEZs, free cities, network-state projects, and semi-recognized polities, with links to MyLatinLife explainers where they exist.
Is this the same as Free Citadels?
No, but we’re inspired by it. Free Citadels is a third-party profile site. This directory uses our own category system and points at residency and document guides — not at a passport shop.
Can I get residency through a project on this list?
Only if a real country issues it. A ZEDE or pop-up sits on top of national immigration. Start with the residency comparison or a country service page.
Why are Kosovo and Liberland in the same table?
Because people search them together. They are not the same category. Kosovo is a de facto state. Liberland is a micronation. Filter by category.
How do I add a project?
We maintain the list from data/sovereignty-projects.csv in the MyLatinLife repo. Book a call if you think a live project is missing and it is not a brochure farm.
