The concept of seasteading seems to be related to how the United States existed in the antebellum period and also somewhat related to the libertarian Free State Project in NH. The USA as a collection of free and independent states each with a great deal of autonomy crashed and burned in less than 100 years. And the Free State Project doesn't appear to me to be very successful. NH is slowly becoming MA (probably in spite of the Free State Project).
