The West is collapsing. We can’t vote our way out of this. Micronations are cringe. Like the Puritans, Christians must now found new nations — on desert and artificial islands
A call for serious Christians to leave behind electoral delusions, libertarian fantasies, and digital nation LARPing — and begin founding new sovereign countries rooted in myth, law, and land.
Are you a Christian who feels the West is falling apart?Are you tired of hearing “just vote harder” while everything good, true, and beautiful is stripped away — piece by piece?
You’re not alone.
Many Christians today know something is deeply wrong. But the options on offer feel ridiculous:
– LARPing as a “sovereign citizen”
– Starting a pretend “micronation” with a fake passport and funny flag
– Moving to a tax-free crypto island with no faith, no order, no children, and no future
None of this will save us.
But here is the truth:
The collapse is real — and Christians will not be spared.
The state will not protect your children.
The culture will not preserve your traditions.
The vote will not return your freedom.
So what do we do?
We do what the Puritans did
When the world turned against them, the Puritans did not start a podcast.
They did not beg Parliament to be nicer.
They got on ships.
They founded something new.
We must do the same.
Not as escapists — but as founders.
Not with rebellion — but with reverence.
Not on Twitter — but on land.
A real movement is already taking shape
I am not the only one saying this.
Tech entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan wrote a whole book called The Network State — a vision of founding new digital countries from scratch.
Crypto founders talk about DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) as a new mode of governance.
Others are exploring seasteading — building new land on the sea.
To his credit, Balaji even named traditional Christians as one group especially well-positioned to adopt these ideas.
But here is the problem:
These models are rootless, godless, and bloodless.
They have servers — not sacraments.
Tokens — not tradition.
Exit — but no soul.
Christians must do better.
What I propose
I call it Hyperstitional Territorial Sovereignty, but you do not need to remember the name.
Just remember this:
We must found new nations.
Real nations. Christian nations.
– On desert islands like South Georgia
– On engineered landforms in international waters
– In forgotten corners of the map, named after reclaimed phantom islands, their myth giving meaning to a new people
These are not LARPs. These are not dreams.
They are the only real answer left when empire collapses and Cæsar goes mad.
So what now?
You do not have to move to Antarctica tomorrow.
But you do have to understand this: the time of voting is over. The time of founding begins.
If you care about Christendom — not just as memory, but as future — then it is time to start thinking like a founder again.
That is what this Substack is about.
It is not fiction. It’s not satire.
It is a live blueprint for what Christians can do after collapse — and before exile.

Closing words
The West is falling.
The vote is dead.
The hour is late.
So let us build new nations, before we have none left to live in.
First, I write not as an American, but from Europe (Finland to be precise) — and not to promote any narrow national vision, but to pose a serious global question: What happens when Christians, cultural traditionalists, and the disinherited of the West can no longer vote, speak, or live freely in their homelands?
That question, I believe, transcends electoral cycles and national borders.
Second, I don’t claim that all plans are execution-ready. What I’m advocating is what the Left and Islamists have always done better than the Right: envision and prepare. We don’t need 10 million people and a GDP right now. We need serious people forming serious frameworks — so that when opportunity knocks, we don’t meet it with excuses.
The Left had CHAZ-CHOP in Seattle ready to go. The Right, when collapse comes, will have…a podcast?
If we do not articulate alternatives — and yes, even give them flags, names, law codes, and territorial concepts — then we leave the future to those who will.
Hyperstitional Territorial Sovereignty is not escapism. It is foundational thinking. That includes realistic economic and defense planning, as you rightly emphasize.
Not every settler outpost in history began with a nation. But many nations began as settler outposts.
And while I understand the instinct to dismiss all this as fantasy, I’d offer a counter-question: Was it more realistic to declare a republic in the New World in 1776, or to prepare a digital meme-country on Ethereum in 2026?
To me, one of those still feels like an actual path forward. The other already feels dated.
Again, grateful for your engagement — I hope this clarifies the spirit and purpose of the project.
1980's South Africa discovered that to be sovereign, a country must have a very significant portion of the world's GDP, and a significant portion of the world's military spending.
I believe it's better to help Texas or Louisiana lead the red states out of the Union because it's too easy for the next Janet Reno to bomb a colony of right-wingers if they're not mixed in with sympathetic figures like blacks, women, and liberals (as Janet Reno did at Waco). https://redstatesecession.org/why-texas-and-the-south-would-benefit-from-federating-with-other-red-states
