[pp.int.general] The Pirate Micronation

[Glenn Kerbein]

Ah, creating your own country and making it into a 'pirate nation'.
Sounds similar to Austrailia ;p .
On a serious note, though: how ideally hard would it be to find land and
claim it as one's own? From therin, establish friendly, international
trade and communication, income, etc.
Then what feats would it have over a foundation/fund/not-for-profit
based out of Lithuania? I would have thought that the roundtable
discussions from the PPI coreteam would be sufficient summation. :S
