So here's my idea:
We get at least a few dozen laissez-faire types together. We then buy a large amount of cheap land in somewhere like Montana, combine that land, and put it under a charter. The charter would be unchangeable, but all the land would be collectively owned by all the "residents" of the "charter land" for legal purposes. However, the charter would make it such that people can "buy" and "sell" charter land - the catch is that it still is "legally" owned by everyone. That way, people can't break away from the charter land.
On this land, it is everything go pretty much. We can avoid most regulation and taxation simply by hiding behind the mask of a barter economy by using gold, silver, copper, etc. In reality, we'd really be using real, hard money, but maybe the monetary authorities would ignore our little experiment.
The land and charter would be protected by a militia made up of all residents. This militia would be the common protection against anyone who wishes to intrude on the charter property (i.e. if government tries to steal the hard money). People would also be able to contract private courts to resolve disputes between everyone.
Sound good?
