There’s a New Nation in Space — and You Can Apply for Citizenship Right Now

“The creators lauded the launch as establishing the first nation to have all of its territory in space, though no countries have acknowledged its statehood.  For now, the primary benefit of ‘citizenship’ is being able to store data on Asgardia-1 while it’s in orbit.  Only those who support the constitution will have the right to upload data to the satellite. Asgardia will have taxes, though only businesses will be forced to contribute. Individual taxes will apparently be voluntary. The website explains that ‘people can decide what amount of tax they would like to pay.’  The country will also have passports, IDs, a national bank, business regulations, and a cryptocurrency called SOLAR.”

Is Government Really The Price Of Civilization?

“The infrastructure-building, law-codifying, biopolitical states of antiquity are not the starting points of universal history for Scott, as they were for both Marx and liberal historians. They are instead a kind of usurpation of a longer and quite possibly richer human practice of mobility and freedom.”

Bitcoin Icon Roger Ver Is Starting His Own Country With No Government

“Roger and the rest of the Free Society team are negotiating with different, undisclosed national governments. The Free Society’s goal is to reach an agreement with a national government that will grant them sovereignty over a piece of the existing government’s land, or a nearby territory.  Free Society will operate with a Voluntarist — or Anarcho Capitalist — structure, where disputes come to resolutions through private arbitration, and services like law enforcement and protection emerge from the free market.”

On the Rio Grande, Commerce Survives by the Honor System

“We devote impressive money and manpower to the fight against illegal immigration, but meanwhile, in Big Bend, one can find a modest example of free enterprise defying borders.”

NH City Continues Parking Meter ‘Robin Hood’ Suit, At Taxpayer Expense

“The city’s expensive attorneys from Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell waited until the LAST possible day they could file to legally file the appeal (PDF). The city has already spent countless dollars on this case and this latest appeal is a further waste of taxpayer funds. The appeal is for the Supreme court to look ONLY at the lower court’s ruling regarding the request for the ‘buffer zone’ injunction. The NH Supreme court has already decided the allegations of ‘tortious interference’, ‘civil conspiracy’, ‘negligence’, and the demand for financial compensation were unfounded and the activities engaged in by the Robin Hooders are protected by the first amendment.”

Liberland: utopian tax-free micronation or state of mind?

“Tucked away on the banks of the Danube is the tiny, would-be country of Liberland. The former Czech politician who declared himself its founder and president says it is a legitimate and viable state and is pushing for international recognition. But Vit Jedlicka is facing tough opposition fromSerbia and Croatia, who have been in dispute over the territory since the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.  Undeterred, Jedlicka has been issuing Liberland passports and appointing ambassadors in his quest to carve out a new nation in the Balkans. He has even set up a national airline.”

Inside ‘Liberland,’ the Place of No Taxes Where Crowdfunding Rules

“Liberland, or the Free Republic of Liberland to give it its full title, is a would-be sovereign state founded April 13 by Vit Jedlicka and two fellow libertarians. Its total area of approximately seven square kilometers would make it the third smallest sovereign state in the world, after the Vatican and Monaco. It’s sandwiched between Croatia and Serbia on the western bank of the Danube River. The objective is to build a country where honest people can prosper with minimal interference from a centralized government. All taxes will be voluntary, and the nation’s services – such as power, healthcare and waste disposal – will be run either by private enterprises or through crowdfunding campaigns.”

Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy of Peace Is Central to the Message of Freedom

“Ron calls upon the peoples of the world to resist their governments’ calls to war and to refuse to take part in violent conflict. ‘If the authoritarians continue to abuse power in spite of constitutional and moral limits,’ he writes, ‘the only recourse left is for the people to go on strike and refuse to sanction the wars and thefts. Deny the dictators your money and your bodies…. The more this is a worldwide movement, the better.’ When people read Swords into Plowshares generations from now – and they will – they will marvel that such a man actually served in the US Congress, and defied every campaign of war propaganda right on the House floor.”

The Gig Economy Makes Karl Marx’s Dreams Come True

“Marx should be delighted — oh, except that it’s capitalism, not communism, that’s allowing Joe to be a fisherman and a critic on his own terms.  The sharing or ‘gig’ economy is not only disrupting the way people live and work; it’s dividing the left considerably.  On the one hand, you have the nostalgic leftists who want Joe to work a nine-to-five job and skip the fishing. You know, like people did in the 1950s. [..] Should we be upset that the guy who founded Lyft is getting rich from the tech? Some people see the accumulation of wealth as taboo. But Joe’s life is better than it would have been in the absence of Lyft. The company allows him to live more of the life he wants to live.”
