When Delaware has the warmest climate of the states listed as libertarian destinations, you know they are looking at the cold weather country. What ever happened to the 1970s era libertarian plan to take over a tropical island and create an independent country?

What ever happened to the 1970s era libertarian plan to take over a tropical island and create an independent country?

Minerva. A South Pacific atoll that was underwater at high tide, and unclaimed by any nation. The plan was to build a seawall and make dry land. It would be a freeport which would be the non tax source of income.

The organizers produced a 'collectible' coin as a fund raiser (No, I didn't buy one)

The dream ended when the king of Tonga, at the head of what news reports at the time described as a 'war canoe' arrived, claimed the atoll for his kingdom, and drove the new country project people away.
