I will remind those who are not aware of what, exactly, we are talking about. New Hampshire is a fairly sparsely populated state in New England that was chosen for the implementation of the Free State Project – a project to build a minarchist utopia in a single state. According to the plan, during the project’s crypto-phase, people were to sign a declaration of intent to relocate to New Hampshire once 20,000 such signatories were gathered. It was assumed that given the current population of the state, an active minority of twenty thousand would be able to effectively implement its policies.
In fact, the relocation began even before the coveted figure was reached. Today, according to data from the project’s official website, 24,155 people have signed the declaration, and 4,392 people have moved to the state.
FSP is not a political organization, and most of those who moved simply live according to libertarian ideals. However, Freestaters have also developed political activity. The project’s website claims that throughout the project’s existence, a total of 45 Freestaters have been elected to the state’s representative bodies.
Even before the start of the project, New Hampshire was somewhere in the top ten states by freedom index, and after the launch of the relocation, it confidently climbed to first place within about three years. The state has very lenient laws regarding weapons, substances, road control, and small business regulation. Homeschooling is also widespread here, and the religiosity of the residents is very low—while tolerance towards religions remains high.
Mikhail Svetov claims that the fastest-growing community in the USA is the Amish. In terms of organic growth, this may be true, but if you consider those joining from the outside, the Freestaters obviously beat the Amish with one hand tied behind their back.
The LPR is represented in the FSP by a member of the St. Petersburg branch, Yuri Polozov.
Furthermore, thanks to the Freestaters, New Hampshire is a leader in the implementation of cryptocurrency payments. If I eventually make it to reporting from the Free State, that’s exactly where your donations will come in handy. Bitcoin wallet 1A7Wu2enQNRETLXDNpQEufcbJybtM1VHZ8.
