This is kind of fascinating. The idea of creating a nation where nobody else has is kind of a fun thought, if a little daunting. I remember seeing an article about Sealand back in the 70s on TV, and I'm surprised it's still a going concern (at least as much as it ever was).
When you consider how young some parts of the US are, and how easily some of this territory could have been Mexican or British (or Russian, or French...), the possibilities come home a little more.
