        it has a name already; I believe you're talking about a Temporary
Autonomous Zone. 
        the only problem with them is; when one exists, usually no one cares. :)
        it comes down to the difference between "independence" and
"irrelevance". :)
        disinfo.org ran a series of links about them a few years ago. it was
the usual marginally-fringe stuff you tend to see on disinfo.org. amusing to
read sometimes, tho. :)

        it's a good thought tho. really, when we look at it in some ways; a
good chunk of the Net could be considered to be something like that. :)
