As much as I believe in economic liberty, societies need social contracts that state what behaviors are considered unacceptable (murder, theft, etc.), a system to modify that contract, a method of enforcing that contract, and a way to pay for that enforcement.
What I just described are laws, lawmakers, law enforcement, and taxes - the fundamentals of a government. Living on a floating island nation isn't about living in anarchy, but about restricting government to its basic elements and allowing as much economic freedom as possible with said government.
