Why reinvent the wheel? Bitcoin is a virtual currency: why not a virtual nation? Wirtland has done all the early legwork, legal and otherwise. And last I heard they were trying to negotiate for some real territory, purchased from an existing country (Nauru). Seems like a marriage made in heaven... http://www.wirtland.com/I guess we would prefer to have 51% of votes in a small country... this way it would be "real". And some of us could move there...

Well... you know what Rothschild said: "Give me control of a country's money, and I care not who makes its laws." Close enough. As for moving there? Well, they're working on that. Some bitcoin would probably help. With strings... |

since the "Principality of Hutt River" and "Freetown Christianiais" have been rejected. what about Pitcain Islands. The islands are inhabited by the descendants of the Bounty mutineers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_Islands |

But - Tonga could be better - it's more independent. Escrow anyone? I want to send 1st BTC!  |

What about a native american "nation" in the western US? Lots of sun for alternative energy, high poverty rate, I'm sure some would be eager to jump on board. Its could be a start.
Pro's: Getting back at whitey as incentive.

LOL! Well.. The land does belong to the CA teacher's union, something you would want bitcoin nothing to be associated with. But bitcoin would be cool with individual teachers and their family for sure. Great find. |

This is where we should make the real free state project, instead of trying to build it inside of mordor... And the first step can be bribing them into making bitcoin the national currency. That would attract the attention of a lot of libertarians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvalu |

I thought the point of bitcoin is that you don't need a government to adopt it. In which case this whole discussion is beside the point!

still it would be nice to stick it to all the people who say, it isnt a real currency because you cant pay taxes in it =P. |

Ok, so if there would be anyone willing to do escrow... I could pay somebody part of price of the plane ticket - to Tuvalu, Tonga or any other "interesting" country... just to go there, and to try to talk to some officials about Bitcoins. Somebody with good talk and good PR for sure. The full plane ticket should be less than 10 btc. 1st Bitcoin from me. I could send even now - to escrow person. Who is willing to take a flight or to donate some Bitcoins?  |
