Uzupio, the Lithuanian freestate
Just outside of the citycentre of the capital of Lithuania lays a quarter called Uzupio.
This, rather rundown, part of the city has been declared independant many years ago by the poets, artists and squatters that lived in that part of town.
On a crumbling wall, Uzupio's 41 constitutional rules are stated.
These rules vary from 'Every cat has the right to be a cat' to 'Everyone has the right to be misunderstood' and even 'Everyone has the right to die, but this is not an obligation.'
