One would have to have people agree to certain things critical to community survival. For example, the need to not contaminate the water table with sewage from having no septic handling.
If there are no construction codes then there cannot be fire fighting of much consequence. I think a big problem would be 'live free' extreme people who would not agree to any regulation.
Some small part of municipal structure does exist for the good of all.
But anyway, I would be willing to put money in to a group effort as long as we have some general safeguards. I would also be willing to contribute with a science and engineering / facility, maybe a community tool shop / workshop. Shared - not Commie shared - tools people could borrow to build their own things anywhere from furniture to framing to finish carpentry. Under condition of 'you break it, you replace it'.
But many problems. A community would need a gas station, maybe propane. Eventually electricity, Communications too; and these days Internet is vital. None of this comes cheap. Unless you want to live Amish simple and primitive.
These days we cannot make a Randian 'Galt's Gulch' - life has become too complex for such an idealist fantasy place.
You will need an automatic lie detector. 97% accurate that you can carry around in public, probably on your phone. Use it on your friends! But mostly you can use it when Bill Gates (or whomever) comes on the television.
Also, narcissism needs to be a course in high school. Doesn't need to be long, just needs to be there. Kinda like basic sexual education.
Also, 15% to 17% sales tax on individuals AND corporations. No income tax. Income tax is just a huge paper pushing waste of time and a way to drive everyone nuts every year. (That's the nice way of saying it)
Also no separate entity clause. People at the highest levels of companies, including major shareholders, need to be held directly responsible for their bullshit. (Lie detector app so helpful. If they can make an app that sees your face and puts a cat face on it, they can make a lie detector app)
I could go on and on. I guess I think you buying your own country is an AWESOME idea.
Kinda like the Free State Project?

Find a small town that’s dying and move in and make it like you want...
Small town Alaska or something like that...won’t happen in lower 48
I am interested. Keep me in the loop.

Power, water, sewer, back taxes and location.
Yes, 'we' can, but it might be an endeavor that will bury you.
