The Freetown of Christiania is a self-governing neighborhood in Copenhagen, Denmark's capital city, where the people actually live freely. Chritiania was created in 1971, and consists of the old Barracks and parts of the city ramparts.
After the barracks were abandoned by the military, the area was simply taken over by the locals in the surrounding neighborhoods, as a playground for their children. This was actually a protest against the Danish government of that time, started by the article of one Jacob Ludvigsen.
