"The vision for Nooqland is, by and large, to let people be - so long as no harm is done to others or their property. Governments do not need to interfere with citizens or create as much red tape as they do."

HRH Ian is of British nationality, holding dual citizenship of both the Principality Nooqland and the United Kingdom.

The origins of the Nooqland stem from the Prince’s quest to live in a country with peace, privacy and prosperity at its core as no nation currently offers this.

The Prince is fascinated by privacy and digital currencies, and the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as one of Nooqland's principal currencies is a strong possibility, alongside the country's own currency - the 'nooq'.

The security and defense of Nooqland is of primary focus and is the subject of significant investment, which is necessary for our self preservation - on both individual and nation levels.
