Somalia? Go places where the government is either non-existant or otherwise pre-occupied, and pay to drop IP in. The locals get communication infrastructure as long as they leave you alone, but if the linux box that has the web server goes down, so do the phone lines.
Well as far as countries that have governments that don't really exist there is always Liberia, But I personally would like my own militia included with their business development package. If I remember Black Unicorn's posts some months back about the Seychelles, The Rene government will protect you from extradition from any country with their military for what? $6 million? Anguilla seems to be a doing agood job on becoming a country willing on hosting data havens. And there are likely under a hundred oil companies looking for firms to 'recycle' their old oil platforms and drilling rigs wasting away around the world, I'm sure some might just give you one just to be rid of future liability.
