politics

everybody has things they agree with and disagree with. it would be good for everybody to be able to live in a world of their choosing, and not have to put up with living under a system and in conditions elected by an apparent or supposed majority.
one way something like that might be achieved would be the formation of many different mini-states, each with its own different rules, and then people could move to the one with the rules they agreed most with. maybe like city-states? and if they stopped liking it, they could just move out to one more to their liking. of course there would be problems with locations - some real estate would be more desirable than others. you'd have to set-up these states on unclaimed turf. also, as these states would grow and change, there would always be those individuals that would at some point become disenchanted with the change, and feel ripped off if they had to move after having put a lot of effort into building/developing the state. guess thats where politics and lobbying comes back into play.
also - which country would give up real estate to allow a new country to get established?
is there any unclaimed but habitable real estate left in the world? a community of like-minded enough ppl from all over the world could give it a good shot and have a chance of succeeding in such a place. you wanna be a communist? move to elbonia! wanna be a fascist? move to "das neues vaterland"! wanna be a rastafarian? move to zion! a vegetarian? soy bean republic is the place for you!
these mini states would develop economies, trade relations, maybe even arrangements with a neighbour state to the effect of: "we'll pay you this much per year in exchange for using ur healthcare, education, defense, and sewage systems".

what about some kind of "direct support" system, where you would only have access to utilities you'd pay taxes for: you can drive on roads if you pay the road tax or even just pay as you go! wait - thats capitalism - you only use what u pay for.
