In 1908, Dr. [[Wilhelm Molly]] attempted to create an Esperanto state in the Prussian-Belgian condominium of [[Neutral Moresnet]], known as "Amikejo" (place of friendship). What became of it is unclear, and Neutral Moresnet was annexed to [[Belgium]] in the [[Treaty of Versailles, 1919]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.moresnet.nl/english/geschiedenis_en.htm#Dr.%20Wilhelm%20Molly |website=www.moresnet.nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120812001647/http://www.moresnet.nl/english/geschiedenis_en.htm |archive-date=2012-08-12|title=Neutral-Moresnet/History}}</ref>

During the 1960s came a new effort of creating an Esperanto state, which this time was called the [[Republic of Rose Island]]. The state island stood in the [[Adriatic Sea]] near [[Italy]].

In Europe, on 2 June 2001, a number of organizations (they prefer to call themselves establishments) founded the ''[[Esperanta Civito]]'', which "aims to be a subject of international law" and "aims to consolidate the relations between the Esperantists who feel themselves belonging to the diaspora language group which does not belong to any country". ''Esperanto Civito'' always uses the name Esperantujo (introduced by [[Hector Hodler]] in 1908),{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} which itself is defined according to their interpretation of ''[[raumism]]'', and the meaning, therefore, may differ from the traditional Esperanto understanding of the word ''Esperantujo''.

A language learning partner application called [[Amikumu]] was launched in 2017, allowing Esperanto speakers to find each other.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.polyglotnerd.com/blog/2016/10/24/interview-with-richard-delamore-founder-of-the-app-amikumu/| title = Interview with Richard Delamore, founder of the app Amikumu}}</ref>
