The issue is, there isn’t really a “perfect” location, every government, whether local or national, is going to want to get involved in some way. There’s always a level of bureaucracy, taxation, and legal red tape that can’t be avoided, especially if you’re building something outside the norm. Plus, once you start introducing an economy of your own, you’ll run into even more resistance, be it from regulators or larger political forces.

I thought about doing that too, here is my advice.

step 1 is securing energy, without a reliable and sustainable power source, the whole thing is pretty much dead in the water. Look at El Salvador’s “Bitcoin City.” They were drawing up all these grandiose plans, but without a firm infrastructure, especially in terms of energy, it all crumbled. They essentially ran into the same issue that would-be citadel builders everywhere would face, you can’t just rely on abstract ideas without the foundational work to back it up.

The energy plant isn’t just a necessity, it’s a lifeline. Without a solid, self-sustaining source of power, whether through solar, wind, or even nuclear, you can’t hope to build anything that survives long-term. A citadel without power is essentially a mirage, looks great from afar but ultimately unfeasible.

Plus, there’s the economic side of it. How will the citadel sustain itself? How do you attract people? Even if you create it, you still need to make it attractive to the right mix of people who can contribute to its growth.

In theory, it’s an awesome idea, but in practice, it's a complex idea.

start with energy but that requires billions of dollars, just don't be dumb like El Salvador who thought if they legalized Bitcoin, rich Bitcoiners would flock to El Salvador and build a city. Bitcoiers are smarter than that plus they don't have experience in building a city or county.
