This island of “independent happiness” can be called floating in the oceans of the city, country, nation – in fact, no matter how. The main thing is that according to the idea of the creators of this unique, he should become the first independent state (like the Libertarian Utopia) tax free and centralized financial and economic and political regulation, and with its cryptocurrency Vyron (“Byron”).
