I would like to read how they decided on New Hampshire over Wyoming. Sounds like a bad decision; I would like to read how they reached it.

Proximity to family is the usual motivator however party drugs may have been a factor. The amount of government that people want is proportional to population density. It requires more government for tribal humans to get along in closer quarters. NH has an above average population density and its proximity to Taxachusetts and NYC doom it to constant gov lover infections. Wyoming has an extremely low population density of 6 people per square mile. There is no demand there for even a single jackboot dog shooter.

Those links provide some insight. Speaking as someone who loves Wyoming...I think they made the right choice. Wyoming is truly a beautiful place with nice and conservative people but it lacks infrastructure and population. If you’re trying to attract people to an area, things like jobs, restaurants*, a relatively wealthy population and cultural opportunities do matter. I’m sure the extremely harsh winters played a part as well. NH has cold winters, but WY can be a lot worse.

Also, when doing something like this you need to think through what happens later if you are successful in pulling it off. Let’s say FSP triggers the move and a liberty migration happens. What happens to NH 10 or 20 years later as a result?

A lot of libertarians are IT people, they might need to be within driving distance of suitable employment. Urban centers have private as well as government infrastructure.
