It's a good idea and you would have to be pretty convicing and show them it's not a 'bubble'. Most countries are wary of Bitcoin because of the DDOS lately, However Bitcoin is rising once again and pretty much shows the strength of it. I would suggest contacting the guys who created the documentary and see if they can go out and find a country who would be willing to accept, If I had the money I would buy my own island and set this kind of system up, sadly I don't have that kind of money.

So I have shopped for islands before.
There are some big ones available.
If we get one (an island) next to a fairly underdeveloped nation, and arm ourselves to the teeth, and offer some type of positive outcome for them like production of some kind or we could even beef up there technology sector and offer serious upgrades and expetise. Then they probably would rather allow us to operate then invade us.
But we have to make ourselves beneficial or we are going to war (or just failing all together).

Basically, you are talking about bribing some politicians... In my mind this would be a sinkhole investment...

Drunken quoting fail on my part. 
I'll drink to that!

What about creating our own country?
I'm a-drinkin' anyway, but as long as we must suffer with states, there should be as many of them as possible.
I'll drink to that!
Did you just put your post in to my quotes or am I so drunk that I do not remeber what I have posted?

Great idea.

If bitcoin becomes an official currency, the decentralized idea will disappear as with any country and currency there is a controlling institution over it.

In Germany Bitcoin is already treated like a foreign currency
What the hell are you talking about and what absurd place in Germany is this?
I bet it's Berlin, what with all their crazyness and being totally broke and all that.

Wouldn't that make regulation automatically much stricter in many countries?
I wouldn't be surprised if in many places the law concerning foreign currencies happens to be more draconian than the laws concerning virtual goods.
Take Argentina, for example. Wouldn't that automatically push Bitcoin into its capital control, making it impossible for TradeHill to even start its venture?
And despite that, I don't think we should be seeking "state recognition".
Hmmm you have an argument there. Then let's keep it as an ace in our sleeves. I wouldn't be surprised if in many places the law concerning foreign currencies happens to be more draconian than the laws concerning virtual goods.

The true government of the political entity formerly known as the United States of America already accepts Bitcoin for tax payments:

Scotland?
for after their (possible 2014) divorce? Lots of chatter in the UK as to whether or not they could keep sterling, adopt the euro or start their own.

Would the process of creating a country that uses bitcoin not create partial centralisation?
Would it not perhaps be better to simply have bitcoin recognised as a currency in its own right by institution like the EU and the US?

The first should help the second.Would it not perhaps be better to simply have bitcoin recognised as a currency in its own right by institution like the EU and the US?

It's quite difficult to get your own country recognized by other countries - just look at Sealand. IMHO it would be easier to convince an existing country.

This could also help set a president for other emerging distributed economies and societies.

What do you say?
What about creating our own country?
That's going to be a lot harder than getting a small country to switch to bitcoin.
