The Libertarian state sounds "too good to be true". I'm not sure if that is a risk many would be willing to take. But either way, if the Libertarian state did work out, it would influence the liberal state in the form of soft power. So... I could do with either or, but social conservatism? You would have to kill me first...
who knows if the others would be around in 10 years, i figure i'de be too busy enjoying my liberty, and working by choice with other fellow libertarians to better our country. it's all about choices, rather than threats and requirements.
depends if you are not part of NAFTA since it is only agreed free trade between Canada, US, and Mexico and you would be a new country and things could get expensive since unless yiour country is Canada, US, and Mexico you have no bi-lateral freetrade and NAFTA could put a huge import export tariff on your new nation so if you think stuff is expensive now wait till we put a 50%-60 tariff on north american made goods and agriculture on your new country that you would freelt choose to pay 60% more for everything you pretty much eat and drink or consume. so gas would be $8-9 bucks a gallon if it come from a US, Canadian, or mexican refinery plus what is your currency worth what is your GDP your doller could be worth 20 cents so gas could be 8-9 bucks US but you have to pay 5 times that due to the exchange rate.
plus you are not aprt of NORAD so US and Canada and don't have to protect your airspace from russian and chinese fighters and long range bombers unless they come too close to the US and canadian border then we senf up our F-18's and F-15s and shoot it down our escort it out but with no US military to support and protect your new nation and a F-35 is the needed plane and 65 plus spare parts are the minium to to be in NORAD after 2016 you would need a Gen 5 fighter and it has to be made in the US you to to buy atleast 65 F-35 at 20cents on the doller and at a current price of $139.5M US a pop your cost would be 679.5M per plane to be in NORAD ...so ouch
watch out for old soviet cold war era bear bombers flying overhead
Sign me up for the libertarian nation. I want to be free to live my life and build my business as I see fit. I want a govt whose sole purpose was to protect property rights and protect the flow of commerce. If you want to eat, you better get to work.
I don't care what you do in your bedroom, but don't come crying to me to pay for what happens as a result of what you did there.
GOVERNMENT (Republican Form of Government)- One in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the people and are exercised by the people ... directly ...

so the question is, would you rather live in a nanny state (liberal), a faith based state (conservative) or a state where the goverment leaves you alone (Libertarian) except for what the Constitution allows for such as protecting the populace from force and fraud.
