Sorry...
I was laughing about Dr. Evil having a web site. I am not laughing at B's desire to go off and start his own country. I've wished I could do that occasionally myself.
But, here's the thing about that...
WHY? As against working to change the things you don't like in THIS country?
Now, it's true that (assuming you get that far) that if you somehow managed to pull it off, you and your friends could set it up any way you wanted it. But, the fewer the people, the easier it would be for someone else, even a turncoat friend, to change it in ways you don't like. Then what have you accomplished? Going from small fish in big pond to big fish in small pond to (maybe) small or dead fish in small pond - because there certainly wouldn't be anyone (US Justice System) looking out for your safety and freedoms.
In fact, you'd better put personal security (bodyguards - police force - paramilitary?) right at the top of your priority list, because other idealists might have other ideas. Then there are the chances some powerful company/industry/country would just wait to see if you have anything worth taking and then take it away from you.
There is a reason you don't see very many of the 70's communes still around. They didn't provide the utopian solutions some of the young hippies thought they would.
