It has no elected government, no permanent buildings, and it will not exist in three days&rsquo; time, but for one long weekend it has a population larger than most places on the map, a working internal economy, its own landmarks people navigate by, and a set of social norms that visitors learn within an hour of pitching a tent. Roskilde&rsquo;s campsite alone regularly holds well over a hundred thousand people across its various fields — bigger, for four days a year, than most Danish provincial towns.</p>Fri, 01 Jul 2016 10:03:00 +0000
