Sark - The World's Most Libertarian Place To Live In? 

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed the video. Feel free to grab our new e-book on "How To Get A New Passport Fast" at expatmoney.com/how-to-get-a-new-passport-fast

Really lovely. Thank you both for this interview and putting this place on my radar. It ticks so many boxes for me. I love small, quaint, places with cool/mild climates and, ideally, a lot of cloud cover. It's hard to find. I sure wish '2020' hadn't happened... I would very likely have pursued it.

Great content! Thanks

What do you need to do to migrate to Sark? Do they have a website with the procedure and requirements?

Sounds like an amazing place. I consider myself a libertarian and I moved to live in Liechtenstein in the middle of the covid pandemic to satiate my hunger for freedom and in search of a better life. But it seems that those values of freedom and self-responsibility have started to fall apart, they started initiating the bad habits of the neighboring countries. Especially the covid restrictions, now I cannot go most places since I am not vaccinated and don't have the covid passport and I even have to wear a mask in the office. Seems that Sark would be a step up from Liechtenstein. The only option that I know of that would offer this kind of freedom is Liberland but I get a feeling that is still not recognized enough from other countries.

guys. the reason that this system works is because there are few people living there, now there is gonna be more and more, and.. well you can suspect what will happen, it happened to the other paradises.

What's the laws there pertaining to gun ownership and sale?

Is there a physical bank in Sark?

What's the gambling laws like? Are there casinos on the island?

Sark's free-market system has been a disaster and the island is far from the paradise as presented by Mr Lorenz. Rich immigrants and private companies have caused a lot of trouble for Sark (and other Channel Islands). Sark is practically ruled by the Barkley brothers who manipulate local politics to fashion the island into their Little England hermit kingdom. In 2008 they manipulated the local elections by attempting to force hand-picked puppet candidates to be elected to represent their corporate interests and intimidated the opposition candidates with aggressive legal action and slandered them in their funded newsletter (the editor of said newspaper has been investigated for 'criminal harassment' against 10% of the island's population). When the local population didn't vote the way they wanted them to, the Barkley brothers shut down all the hotels on the island (which they owned) which put 170 islanders out of work (1/3 of the entire population!) and crippled Sark's tourism industry. To this day they openly intimidate and bully anyone who criticises their corporate governance of the island. Sark is far from a 'volunteer society', if you don't stand up to your billionaire overlords. Perhaps this is why Mr Lorenz claims that here is no dissent on the island? Sark is as libertarian as billionaires living in a literal castle overlooking the peasantry demanding their rights. Though perhaps a country being run at the whim of billionaires like a kingdom is the ideal for libertarians? Another example of a private company ruling the lives of the everyman on Sark is 'Sark Electricity Ltd' which has charged extortionate prices for energy because they hold a complete monopoly, making it difficult for the elderly to make it through winter. When the government of Sark tried to regulate the prices to be fairer, Sark Electricity shut off the energy supply to the entire island and held the people's wellbeing has hostage because they didn't get their way. Compare that to the other Channel Island of Jersey, where they have a government owned electricity company, the electricity in Jersey is some of the cheapest and most reliable in Western Europe. Rich immigrants seeking to evade tax have not only ruined the economy and local culture of Sark, but have also done the same in Jersey (such as the ongoing population and housing crisis). Of course that is what happens when you immigrant to a country seeking only money and sunshine instead of learning about the local language and history. Please consider what effect immigrating will have on a country before going there. I would also recommend actually doing research into the adverse aspects of Sark which Mr Lorenz curiously does not touch upon in this video.

Why don't they allow helicopters?
