Don't like where your living or government interference in your life? You might like Liberland (Freeland). I'm guessing it is named so because it isn't claimed by any of it's surrounding countries.
I wanted to find the topic of "Nation building" to put this because we hear about nation building all the time but in this case this man is truly nation building from the ground up. It's creator as setting up a model country instituting the idea of voluntary taxes. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
The reason it is unclaimed is because it lies at the center of a border dispute between Croatia and Serbia, meaning colonization is currently not an option. It is "a de facto no man's land,".
Welcome to the Free Republic of Liberland.
This micro-nation is attempting to establish itself on a tiny spit of unclaimed land just three miles squared on the banks of the River Danube between Croatia and Serbia.
Its founders aim to create a state where "the economy and the government are separated" and people can live without government interference, Liberland's self-proclaimed president Vit Jedlicka told NBC News.

Interesting model....I like it, I don't like the location! On another note, My company is in the planning stages of a self sustaining (off Grid) Community/neighborhood of small homes....not tiny homes on wheels but the stationary version on slab or full basement....I'm almost giddy about it!

Methinks he doth protest too much (like most politicians). America used to be that shining city on the hill, the place that attracted the huddled masses yearning to be free, simply because it was a shining city and it was free. Free of oppressive government. A true land of opportunity. Nobody had to sell it. We simply were what we were and people were attracted to us like moths to a flame. Then the flame died as our government grew and grew like a cancer (and just as deadly). Now, politicians proclaim their love of freedom and democracy while they legislate and legislate to destroy it. Congress has even gone so far as to enlist the bureaucracy to legislate, administer, and adjudicate laws on their behalf so they can focus on more important things, like getting reelected. We are fast becoming the Democratic Peoples Republic of the United States. Thus, as a look at this example of another politician proclaiming a "new nation" of economic freedom, forgive me for doubting. It's easy to proclaim freedom, but hard to be free
