I'm intrigued by the idea but I have some reservations:
1.) How likely is this to actually happen? Are there any talks with nations for purchasing land? How many members would actually uproot their entire lives to go live in this experimental nation?
2.) I'm absolutely a libertarian, but even if I have to admit that some of those that care so deeply as to self-select for something like this are likely to have some... oddities.
3.) Libertarian principles have never been very popular with women, so I imagine most of the interested parties are men. If this were to last for a long period of time, I would imagine that most of the unmarried men would compensate for that by finding wives from the neighboring developing nations. I don't have anything against that, but I feel like this new nation would quickly get the reputation of being Thailand 2.0.
