The state of the world is pretty depressing for anyone who cares about liberty. NSA, GHQ and CSE have pretty much turned the western world into the world of Big Brother (Orwell's, not the TV show). So it's unsurprising that freedom-loving people are attracted to the various "new country" projects. And it's not like there's a shortage of already-failed new country projects; this list is far from complete, and lists only ones with an explicit or strongly implicit Libertarian bent:

• Na-Griamel, in which Jimmy Stevens tried to break Espiritu Santos away from the newly-independent Vanuatu (previously the New Hebrides);
• Galt's Gulch Chile, a Rand-influenced plan to build a hideaway in Chile (how it fell apart, and plans to resurrect it);

I'm sure there are more. But the latest one has an interesting bent; it is based on a small (tiny) plot of land between two countries that don't really like each other (Croatia and Serbia), which due to the irregular border, neither country lays claim to. Have a look at the simplistically-named Liberland (official website; Wikipedia article).
