Résumé
In 1971, a wealthy libertarian real estate developer named Michael Oliver decided that the only way to escape taxes and government overreach was to build a brand new country from scratch. His plan was audacious: dump barges of sand onto the Minerva Reefs, a shallow, submerged coral atoll in the South Pacific, and declare the birth of the Republic of Minerva.
Reef of Rebels tells the bizarre, true story of this utopian micro-nation.
Oliver actually succeeded in raising land above sea level, issuing a declaration of independence, and minting his own currency. He envisioned a society with no taxes, no welfare, and absolute economic freedom. However, he severely underestimated the geopolitics of the Pacific. This book chronicles the swift and highly entertaining downfall of the artificial island. Just months after its creation, the neighboring Kingdom of Tonga laid claim to the reef, dispatching a military expedition complete with a brass band to tear down the Minervan flag and reclaim the sand for the King. Dive into the ultimate tale of sovereign hubris.
Discover the absurd logistics of ocean colonization and why the dream of a tax-free libertarian utopia washed away with the tide.
