I'd believe it if every online community hadn't already fantasized, written, prepared wikis, appointed Financial Ministers and plotted to buy the Principality of Sealand at one point or another for this same goal. Thanks for the chuckle though, it was nice to daydream about visa-less US entrepreneurship.

Exactly. If someone was going to do actually this, instead of fantasizing and appointing Financial Ministers, they would have to be doing international law research, engineering studies, raising millions of dollars, talking to real entrepreneurs....which is exactly what I've been doing at The Seasteading Institute has been doing for the last 3 years, to pave the way for ventures like this.
When something is usually done as a fantasy, I can understand why you'd pattern-match it to fantasy. But just because it's usually done wrong doesn't mean it can't be done right.
