The Phoenix Foundation was so named in , but variously named incarnations have existed since Also in , a representative of Oliver's attempted to have an audience with the King of Tonga regarding Oliver's intention to appropriate submerged reefs, known as the Minerva reefs that were [19] After this setback in the New Hebrides, Oliver and his supporters proclaimed the "Republic of Minerva" over the submerged Minerva reefs located south of Tonga and Fiji on January 19, On June 15, , the King of Tonga declared sovereignty over the Minerva reefs.

In , Fiji had declared that they did not recognize Tonga's claim to Minerva, but by that time Oliver's group had long since given up on claiming it. Prior to independence, the libertarian magazine Reason was touting Oliver's plan for Abaco in part by the perceived social structure.

This was clearly a nod to libertarian Southerners who were angry at US desegregation " Libert aryan s ". Following Hurricane Dorian in , the destruction on Abaco revealed to the world its racial and social inequality, with wealthy absentee owners owning luxury properties there and relying upon undocumented Haitians who lived in an unregulated shantytown called Mudd to build and maintain the properties.

The Phoenix Foundation refocused on the New Hebrides archipelago in March , since independence from the UK-France colonial condominium was imminent. Eventually, the Foundation formed an agreement with Jimmy Stevens a.

Apparently, the Foundation had either forgotten about a little clause in their old proposed Abaco constitution about the government's limited powers "Prohibiting import or export of … arms for criminal groups" , [22] or they "learned" from their failure and decided to rely on WerBell's mercenary expertise.

Before he became a US Representative, Dana Rohrabacher visited Vanuatu during the rebellion and was likely connected to the Phoenix Foundation in some way. Silk Road was an online darknet black market that was best known for illegal drug commerce, but also other legal and illegal goods and activities. Silk Road was launched in by "Dread Pirate Roberts", who was later revealed by the FBI to be the libertarian Ross William Ulbricht when he was arrested in and later sentenced to life in prison in on charges of drug trafficking, money laundering and conspiracy.

Since sellers could, and did, in fact, keep the addresses of their buyers, they could and did use this information to blackmail Ulbricht. Ulbricht paid two blackmailers to murder two people who tried to blackmail him, though it is not known if this resulted in murders and he was not convicted on charges of murder.

In , residents of Von Ormy, Texas population of about feared that they would be annexed by the nearby and rapidly expanding city of San Antonio. At that point 3 of the 5 city council members decided that decreasing the property tax every year was foolish, and they formed a shadow city government, but were eventually arrested for allegedly violating the Texas Open Meetings Act.

A group of libertarian activists attempted to take over the tiny town of Grafton, New Hampshire and transform it into a monument for libertarian ideals. While the Free Town Project was unfolding in , a similar but more grandiose project was being planned for the whole state of New Hampshire by other libertarians, the Free State Project. There have been countries based around many different systems of social and economic organization: capitalism , communism , socialism , democracy , autocracy , theocracy , autarky and monarchy , but not on libertarianism.

Libertarianism as a concept has been around since the early 20 th century, but its roots date back much earlier, going back to at least John Locke [note 1] in the s. Libertarians like some aspects of some governments, but they seem to be hard-pressed to point to a country with high levels of economic liberty and social liberty that they could even call an approximation.
