Create a new nation

Geographically, my mind wanders out west in America and/or Australia. 

I mean, I could think of stretches of Siberia to lease, or Africa, but I'm just thinking of Anglican heritage proximity support, though westernized support could probably be had with relative ease with truckloads and a half day's drive from some African coast.

And by creating a new nation, I certainly am interested in such experiments.  Create a federation with divisions the sizes of counties or townships in the American east.  Leave a hundred or so miles in between them for buffer and growth.

What do we got?
-go ahead and have an ethno-state akin to Israel or Japan, but perhaps even literally.
-try new westernized socialisms or whatever.
-try a Christian nation.
-I'm sure some westernized islamic stuff could be incubated by some Saudi type oil money.  
Whatever.  Let's keep it western.  No Lord of the Flies or Middle Beastern level stuff.

No doubt what I'm talking would take an ecological toll and a ton of earth moving effort.  I've fancied something at the western terminus at I-70.  I have also blogged about moving American armed forces stationing from Japan and South Korea to our cousins in Australia.  That could be a defense lease.

Perhaps the best new land experiment of all would start with some more straight forward premise of taxation (trade-offs). 

For mandated charities and tithing seem to be very contentious and one born of perhaps overly prosperous diabetic times.  This isn't a naive aim for some utopia.  It's more of an experiment towards of a more perfect union.  I would fancy perhaps a dual citizenship for a break in some of the preposterous.  Right off the bat:  better roads, pipes, basements, heating cooling systems, central planning, behavior codes, and citizenry contributory trade-offs.

  1. 2 tidbits stimulated by this post:
    -If we smooshed all the billions of people together, each having 4ft of personal space (outdoor concert venue seating, is it?), it would only take up half of Prince Edward Island.

    -Why are we so interested in taking droves of humans, apparently incapable of thriving as a culture on their own, and increasing their carbon footprint hundreds fold??? Conservation and diversity need to start making a little more sense if you ask me.
