I think Google should do it. It'd be a fun project, Google Nation.
Seasteading or island steading is a backward direction. Not because it is not a good idea but because the nations people involved are looking to build are no better than the ones they are looking to leave.

Nor the crown, and I guess they do better than the crown at least.

Such new steadings are not backward, but are instead new opportunities to create and refine from blank slate to see what works. Although yes, the majority of outcomes from that are likely to be roughly similar to themselves and to what came before. Raise your own flag.
