With all the troubles currently going on in the world, I've had this idea of running my own country. A place that can sustain itself, independent of the world's economy.
This probably sounds like an Utopia, but just out of curiosity; what are the requirements to have your own country? As far as I know, there's not a single law that forbids me from making my own country and inviting people to come live in my country ?
It would be a place where there are no taxes. People pay a fee to enter the country and to purchase a plot of land to build their homes upon. Costs required to maintain the village/city or other public areas would come from a collection. People know what the money would be for and that it would only be spent on what is needed.
Make the offer interesting enough and even companies will move in with industry and public services.
Then what does one need to have his own country? a piece of land somewhere uncontrolled? their own currency? How would the world react to it?
but most importantly, would it solve the problems.......or would some crazy country just invade us?
