Since investors will decide for themselves how to invest, I do not suppose it is my place to judge whether their resources are wasted. But I might be disappointed if a dispersion of resources among numerous projects delayed the first success, because I want to live there. Yes, one major resource is lacking. It is credibility. If credibility can be built people and capital will gravitate to a free-nation project.
Most libertarians view the free-nation movement with skepticism for good reason.
Almost all free-nation reports tell of attempts which are superficially irresponsible and flamboyant. We can change that. By running a think tank in a professional way, we can supply more credibility to the movement. But we must also consider the price. But I cannot imagine something like this happening in the US, or in another nation which is as wealthy and proud as the US, because the rulers will be giving up more than just their authority over the real estate they will be giving up their pretense that their government is above deals such as this one.
