Where to put the first major seastead?

I'm sure there could be smaller floating projects, especially within a country's marinetime border, but the first self-sustaining, deep-water seastead would need to be located far away from all countries (as equally distant from all other countries as possible to stop one from claiming it's the nearest) and in a zone where no serious weather happens.

Here's a map of the last 100 years' hurricane paths:

Clearly we'd want to either live along the equator or in the vast temperate regions to the left & right of South America. I know many would like to live in the more temperate climates further away from the equator.

Of course there are other issues to consider, such as where the Manganese Nodules are found, in the case of the colony existing to mine the seafloor. Here's a map of zones where they exist in vast numbers, just sitting around on the top of the seafloor, waiting to be picked up:

So to the left or right of South America, 1000-4000 miles away from the coast, seems to be the sweet spots. & of course we don't want to be anywhere near an island owned by a large country such as Ascension, Saint Helena, or the Falklands. In my mind that makes the pacific a better bet.

Are there any other criteria I'm not thinking of here? Where would you guys want to put the first deepwater seastead?
