Jedlicka became a member of the Czech Party of Free Citizens, which bases its values on the classical liberal ideology. This liberal ideology inspired him to create a free-market community where citizens did not suffer the burdens of over regulation. After considering many other parcels of land in which to build this community, he chose an unclaimed plot of land between Croatia and Serbia.
