This is an idea sitting dormant at the back of my mind ever since i started this P2P OS project (well, should i ever be able to make any real money out of it :p): http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/peter-thiel-founder-of-paypal-invests-124-million-to-create-floating-micro-countries/2011/08/17/gIQA88AhLJ_blog.html
PS
Just to make things clear from my personal opinions' point of view: when i say "this is an idea sitting dormant at the back of my mind" i mean the independent [micro-]states idea, but i don't have any specific form of government/society in mind just yet. My reasoning behind the micro-states idea is to allow people to build and trade things inside a small-business-friendly legislation, but i can hardly see any appeal for someone in her right minds to actually be living on a boat somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
