> I’ve always wondered how hard it would be to start your own country Really really hard. You have only a few choices and they're all terrible. First one is revolution, see history for how that tends to go. Second is conquest and then colonization followed by eventual independence, again see history for how much this sucks for your stated aims. Seasteading might work but if you develop and build the stuff to make it work you're unlikely to get any acknowledgement of your statehood from any other nation but might get attacked by them [1]. The last option is outer space somewhere and self-sufficient space colonies are still science fiction and once they're not the early pioneers are going to die a lot and their living situation is going to be awful. 1: https://reason.com/2019/10/14/how-two-seasteaders-wound-up-marked-for-death/ https://reason.com/2019/10/14/how-two-seasteaders-wound-up-m...
