Self-declared 'King of Switzerland' builds empire of 117,000 square metres

A 31-year-old Swiss man, Jonas Lauwiner, has claimed about 117,000 square metres of land across Switzerland by exploiting a rule that allows ownership of ownerless land, acquiring 148 plots including 83 roads. He has built what he calls an 'empire', charging maintenance fees and selling rights related to construction near roads, prompting cantons to consider tighter rules amid criticism from local officials that the move exploits the system. Lauwiner says the title of 'King of Switzerland' was media-created and he is not a sovereign.
