The problem with initiating any sort of colony separate from a
currently recognized power is that you undermine the authority of
every established authority. And then you are overtaken and killed. Or
at least forced into work camps to create the very munitions that will
kill you. Case studies show only a handful of countries to EVER have
been developed without allegiance to another state and then they
really aren't independent are they? Sealand is one, but you wouldn't
want to live there.
Would any state make the same mistake England did with the U.S.? No.
You cannot truly start a new country or state without weapons of mass
destruction. Of course as developers we wield a different weapon, that
can be used not to take life but other resources which can crumble a
nation.
There's a whole field of study on this called micronations, pretty
fascinating really isn't it?
Do you think I might have thought about this too much?? ;)
