I believe I heard about this in the early 1990s and dismissed it as yet another
quixotic "new country" project. Such projects have been around for a long
time. (See Erwin S. Strauss's _How to Start Your Own Country_.) Usually,
they turn out to be too head-in-the-clouds or just real estate schemes.

This does mean I'm against the idea. It's a great one, but until someone can
come up with a practical plan, as opposed to a neat idea with some slick
brochures/web pages, I remain skeptical.
