A Graphic History of Big Dreams, Micronations, and other Self-Made States

Throughout human history, the desire to form an ideal society has endured; from the goal of the United States’ “more perfect union,” to sanctuary for freed slaves in Liberia. Yet, there are many lesser known, but also impressive efforts where groups pursued a true utopia. Discover 30 of these places in This Land Is My Land, a nonfiction illustrated exploration of the dream of creating the perfect society.

By New York Times bestselling author, cartoonist, and editor at The Nib Andy Warner and illustrator and cartoonist Sofie Louise Dam, This Land Is My Land is a compelling look at stories of rebellion, vision, and luck, as eccentric as they are empowering reflections of the universal desire to build something better.
