About Seasteading

What is Seasteading?

Seasteading is a visionary concept that involves the creation of autonomous, self-sufficient communities on the open sea. Born out of the desire for increased individual freedom and innovative governance, seasteading envisions the establishment of floating structures, often resembling modular platforms or cities, designed to facilitate independent living. These floating communities seek to operate beyond the jurisdiction of any single nation, allowing residents to experiment with diverse forms of self-governance and societal organization. Embracing the vastness of the ocean, seasteading promotes environmental sustainability, economic freedom, and the pursuit of individual liberties. With the potential to unlock new frontiers in governance, seasteading challenges traditional notions of statehood and offers a platform for individuals and communities to chart their own course in the quest for autonomy and self-determination.

How seasteading could lead to new soverign nations?

Seasteading holds the transformative potential to give rise to entirely new sovereign nations. By establishing self-sustaining communities on the open sea, seasteaders aim to create autonomous entities with the authority to govern themselves independently of traditional nation-states. These floating societies can experiment with innovative forms of governance, crafting legal frameworks and societal structures that align closely with the values and preferences of their residents. As seasteading evolves, it may pave the way for the emergence of new sovereign nations built upon principles of self-determination, individual liberty, and voluntary cooperation. The competitive nature of seasteading could encourage the formation of distinct micro-nations, each tailored to meet the diverse needs of its inhabitants. This frontier of governance represents a bold leap towards a future where the concept of nationhood is redefined, offering a promising avenue for the establishment of sovereign entities born from the aspirations of those seeking alternative and more personally resonant models of self-rule.

About our Values and Principles

What are the main Values and Principles of The New nation Project?

Limited Government

Free markets

Non Aggression Principle

Judeo-Christian Values (sometimes referred to as “western values”)

What do you mean by “concepts of limited government and free market principles”?

We believe that the best form of government is one which is the least intrusive. Or Bir Tawil government will concentrate in protecting the liberties and free association of residents & citizens, rather than trying to micromanage the economy and social interactions.

What is the Non Aggression principle?

The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) is a foundational ethical stance and guiding principle in libertarian philosophy. It asserts that the initiation of force or coercion against others is inherently wrong and violates individual rights. In essence, the NAP holds that individuals have the right to live free from aggression, and any use of force or fraud against them is considered a violation of their autonomy. Advocates of the Non-Aggression Principle argue that interactions between individuals and institutions should be voluntary, consensual, and based on mutual respect, with the exception being the justified use of force in self-defense. The NAP serves as a fundamental tenet in various libertarian and anarchist ideologies, influencing their perspectives on personal freedom, property rights, and the proper role of government in society.

What are these Judeo-Christian, or Western, values?

Both terms (Judeo-Christian and Western) are broad and cannot be exhaustively described, but rather, they refer to an overall set of values or principles. Some values may even seem at odds with each other, and different people will have different definititions of what each means.

Ultimately, the values or principles that a community or nation holds are those that are both written into law and practiced in daily life. We do not expect or require everyone to agree with all values, but list them as a guide as to where we are coming from.

Justice and Fairness: The emphasis on justice and the pursuit of fairness in dealings with others, rooted in biblical teachings about treating others as one would like to be treated.

Compassion and Mercy: Encouragement to show compassion, mercy, and kindness towards others.

Family Values: Emphasis on the importance of family, with values such as marriage, parenthood, and the nurturing of children being significant aspects of both Judeo-Christian traditions.

Charity and Altruism: The promotion of charity and a responsibility to care for those in need, reflecting the biblical call to help the less fortunate.

Personal Responsibility: The concept of individuals being accountable for their actions, with an emphasis on personal responsibility and the consequences of one's choices.

Respect for Life: The sanctity of human life is a key value, influencing attitudes towards issues such as abortion, euthanasia, and capital punishment.

Truthfulness: The importance of honesty and truthfulness in interpersonal relationships, with deception generally regarded as morally unacceptable.

Work Ethic: A strong work ethic is often promoted, emphasizing the value of hard work, diligence, and responsibility in one's endeavors.

Individualism: The emphasis on individual rights, autonomy, and personal freedom as fundamental components of a just and flourishing society, especially in regards to the law.

Rule of Law: The belief in a legal system that applies equally to all individuals, irrespective of their status or position, and the idea that laws should be just, transparent, and predictable.

Human Rights: The recognition and protection of inherent rights and freedoms for all individuals, often expressed in documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Equality: The pursuit of equal opportunities and treatment for individuals, regardless of factors such as gender, race, religion, or socioeconomic status.

Secularism: The separation of religious institutions from governmental affairs, ensuring a neutral public space that accommodates diverse beliefs and practices.

Freedom of Speech: The protection and promotion of the right to express opinions and ideas freely without fear of censorship or persecution.

Capitalism: The economic system emphasizing private property, free markets, and voluntary exchange as drivers of economic prosperity and individual well-being.

Scientific Inquiry: A commitment to scientific discovery and rational inquiry as means of understanding the world and improving the human condition.

Civic Responsibility: The belief that citizens have a responsibility to actively participate in civic life, including voting, community engagement, and contributing to the common good.

Innovation and Progress: A culture that values innovation, progress, and the pursuit of knowledge as drivers of societal advancement.

Tolerance: The acceptance of diverse perspectives, beliefs, and lifestyles, fostering a pluralistic society where individuals can coexist peacefully despite differences.

It's important to recognize that these values are not universally held or applied in the same way across Western societies, and there may be variations in interpretation and emphasis among different individuals, communities, and nations within the Western world.

Will there be separation of church and state?

Yes. We are not establishing a theocratic nation, but a state that allows her people to freely worship and will not impose any state church. This also means that the state will not be able to interfere in matters of worship an faith.

About New Nation/Country projects in general

Is this really necessary?

We believe it is. Many might prefer to pursue missions work to local or international communities. Others may prefer to work at reforming their own governments through politics. Some might want to promote environmental or climate causes. We want to pursue this endeavor. As long as there are people who strive to live in freedom, and practice their faith without persecution, there is a need for them to be able to pursue this.
