Seasteading

Seasteading is the concept of living at sea. The dwellings called seasteads include cruise ships, floating islands etc. No government claims this territory of living. Proposed seasteads could set up libertarian micronations.

Patri Friedman and Wayne Gramlich are founder members of Seasteading Institute.
