You're unhappy with the politics in D.C. and decide to secede from the union and form your own country. Your country can only be as large as the land you own, whether you want that to be a studio apartment or a cattle ranch. Describe your country. Do you plan to expand? Write your country's constitution and a bill of rights. (If you don't currently own land in real life, you can use what you hope to own in the future, or just pretend you own your current residence.)
