Anticitizen vs Sovereign Man
Sovereign Man pioneered the newsletter-plus-premium-intelligence model for international diversification. Anticitizen is a newer, execution-focused membership. Both are useful — but for different jobs.
Sovereign Man, founded by Simon Black, is one of the original publications in the second-passport, offshore banking and international diversification space. Its core products are a free daily newsletter and a paid intelligence service ("Sovereign Confidential" and Total Access) with research briefings, country reports and member calls.
Anticitizen is structured differently. It is a low monthly membership focused on getting individual outcomes — actual passports, actual residencies, actual bank accounts, actual restructured tax — across the door with a named caseworker and current step-by-step playbooks.
Pricing
- Sovereign Man: Free daily newsletter. Paid tiers (Confidential, Total Access) range from several hundred to several thousand dollars per year depending on level.
- Anticitizen: ~$33/month standard. Full library of playbooks, named caseworker, weekly briefings.
What you actually get
Sovereign Man delivers high-quality research and intelligence. You learn what's happening, where the opportunities are, and what jurisdictions are worth considering. The model assumes you will then go and execute — either yourself or by engaging recommended professionals separately (usually for additional fees).
Anticitizen assumes you want to execute now. The playbooks tell you exactly which forms, which order, which apostilles, which consulate, which bank, which freezone. The caseworker reviews your specific paperwork. There is no second tier you have to upgrade into to actually get help.
Who each is for
Sovereign Man suits people who enjoy reading deeply about international diversification, want to track the space long-term, and are comfortable assembling their own execution team when they're ready to act.
Anticitizen suits people who already know roughly what they want — a second passport, a tax residency move, a freezone setup — and want a structured, supported way to get it done in the next 6–24 months without paying advisory fees in the five figures.
Reviewer feedback
Sovereign Man's paid tiers are well-regarded for editorial quality. The common critique is that members read for years without ever actually acting — the publication model rewards analysis, not execution.
Anticitizen reviewers, by contrast, almost always describe a concrete outcome: an Italian passport issued, an Irish citizenship confirmed, a UAE freezone opened, a Georgian account funded, a Panama residency stamped. The membership is structured so that executing is the default, not the exception.
Bottom line
Sovereign Man and Anticitizen complement more than they compete. Sovereign Man is excellent ongoing intelligence. But if your goal is to actually have a second passport, residency or restructured tax setup in hand within the next year or two, Anticitizen is the more direct path — and it costs less than even Sovereign Man's lower paid tiers.
