To avoid infringing on any state claim, I propose Bir Tawil.
I say give them a tiny remote island, maybe in the Pacific.
The Republic of Howland, Baker and Jarvis has a flag, though, for a time, had too many modern conveniences and hotels.
So maybe go with Nikumaroro Island? But, you know, it really doesn’t matter. Within days those SovCits will strangle each other over minor points like designing a flag (the Gold Fringers would go crazy and slay most of the Fringeless Four Hundred).
SeaOrg. Let them fight it out with the Church of Unitology.
I like your out-of-the-box thinking but that area already has enough conflict,
SovCits are almost cute. Well, for a minute. Like a toddler stamping their feet.
Fine I say. Remove the license plates from their cars. Notify their insurance companies, banks and all institutions. Bye bye social security and medicare too.
Unless you’re REALLY a person that can do it on your own in national forest, and want to, well, you have totally fucked yourself.
They think taxes are bad? Um. Ha. Hahhahhahahhaah.
Have fun asshole.
What of course would happen to these ‘free’ people is they would become criminals. Not much other choice.
Within limits, of course.
I’m thinking 1 a day, 1 in possession.
That’s a very nice queer-friendly flag Rockall has.
(great - stuck with opening guitar lick of UFO’s “Rock Bottom” in my head now)
A prosecutor in eastern Kentucky has been accused of offering legal advice in exchange for nude photos and videos of the female defendant.
workin it pro boner, right on.
hot
Buddy (Ronnie Goldy - not bad name) looking like Brian Trottier just after he retired. Like, gross.
ETA: Or a considerably younger version of Doug Prishpreed.
A small fortified medieval hilltop village in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur near Antibes, between Nice and Cannes?
Here’s a pic of Ronnie so people know what he looks like.
Here’s Brian Trottier.

Yeah, I see the resemblance.
BIOT = British Indian Ocean Territory.
Thank-you, Atamsama - most negligent and lazy of me.
Gold fringe.
Diego Garcia? I’m not sure it makes an American a stupid MFer to mistakenly think they are under U.S. legal jurisdiction, as they would be on Guam. It’s not as dumb as trying to plead the 5th in the U.K. or Germany, at least.
Thank you for that elaboration. I was about to channel @I_Love_Me_Vol.I and bitch about the acronym.
Heh, I actually remember what Brian Trottier looked like, so I only needed (!) the pic of the creepy prosecutor, but thanks!
Nice!
Losing U.S. Citizenship or Nationality by Voluntary Act With Specific Intent
As for giving up one’s native-born or naturalized U.S. citizenship voluntarily, to do so, a person must both: voluntarily perform any of seven “expatriating” acts defined by law, and perform the act or acts with a conscious desire (or specific intent) to abandon (relinquish) nationality. The expatriating act must be voluntary and take any of seven forms. Committing any of the following acts will create a presumption that it was performed voluntarily with the idea of giving up U.S. citizenship, although the person might later be able to rebut (disprove) this presumption:
Becoming a naturalized citizen of another country after age 18.
Formally declaring allegiance to a foreign government after age 18.
Accepting a position in the government of another country after age 18, if one has citizenship in, or declared allegiance to, that country.
Joining the military force of another country either (1) in any capacity if that country is engaged in hostilities against the U.S., or (2) as an officer.
Formally renouncing U.S. nationality abroad before a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer.
Formally renouncing U.S. nationality in the U.S. when the U.S. is at war, if done in writing and with the approval of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Being convicted of treason or participating in any attempt to overthrow the U.S. government.
