Check out the book "How to Start Your Own Country" by Erwin Strauss. I believe that Loompanics Unlimted sells this popular book, which was briefly mentioned in the New York Times--not too long ago. Strauss' other book--which deals with "Basement Nukes"--was mentioned in a book by Alvin Toffler--I forget the title. Anyway, you can purchase both books from the author himself--and very cheaply. I have the author's address: If you want it, let me know.
