Have you heard of micro nations?

They have none of that shite

Uh, well, all it takes to be "recognizesd" is to have people live there.

They just do as they wish

Then declare yourself an unincorporated community.

you could always declare it as private property

Don't have to become a city-state.

You buy some land, it is yours, you don't need to have the community on your land recognized.

and as a company or a "family"

Yeah, becoming a town would just allow the province and federal government to stick their noses in it.

i gtg brb

i liked suck their noses better

Hahaha

Live just far enough away from civilization that they don't care about building codes

Likely it will just be me and my husband building our dream

Which is a Food Forest and a permaculture farm.

Hopefully with a river on the land so we can build a hydro dam.

Living autonomously is normal for a large number of people

I don't see how this idea is ridiculous

Yeah, you just need to live in an unincorporated township, or outside of any municipality.

Internet and cell phones might become a luxury, but that is perfectly doable

Nah. You can easily build a tower and rent it to the telecom companies.

Or pay them to put a receiver or whatever

They're always looking to expand their coverage.

I guess, if I was doing that I would rather cut off most communication though

Keeping communication open would be beneficial

As I would be looking to sell walnuts and fruit to the rich folk in the city.

Make some rustic crafts to sell too?

Could.

I was thinking solid hardwood furniture.

And alcohol

Lol

Homebrew sells for a mint

Yeah. Maybe try to make a high proof spirit from maple water.

Especially exotic stuff so nut beer and apple vodka

That'd sell well here.

I'm thinking of growing hazelnut and walnuts.

Along with a variety of apples and beans.

Some berries, maybe cherries if I can find a tasty variety that is hardy enough.

I didn't know beans grow well up there

Haha, beans grow anywhere.
