LOL! Nice pipe dream. I think you would get into an international law quagmire with countries trying to extend off-shore jurisdictions beyond and even 300 mile limits.

There was actually a case similar with a guy who bought up a World War II vintage anti-aircraft platform just outside the territorial waters of the United Kingdom and started his own country. I don't remember the name of the country or the details, but he did get it upheld in international court at one time.

I remember at one time they were pushing the idea of locating computer servers out there for encoded, anonymous internet service. Beyond the reach of any kind of warrant.
