The free state project mentioned is an indication that this is actually viable. They want thousands of people to move to New Hampshire to change the state to be more libertarian. 700 already have.
The fact that they can almost get people to move to a different state is evidence that they can get people to move to new man-made islands? Seasteading would be great, but actually getting it started looks really difficult.
- ivankirigin 18y agoIn my understanding, the islands are much smaller. I think 100 people would be enough, though that would largely depend on the design.
- byrneseyeview 18y agoThat's true, but the investment per person is much higher; you don't have to build land and protect it from pirates in New Hampshire.
- olefoo 18y agoYou're calling your libertarian credentials into question there; a _real_ libertarian (for extreme values of real) would reply that you do, it's just that in New Hampshire the pirates call themselves the IRS and the Department of Revenue.
