Who are we?

About Us

The New Nation Project is an initiative working to create a Free Private City: a model for self-governance built on individual freedom, personal responsibility, and voluntary cooperation.

Seasteading is integral to our vision. By combining land-based development with floating, ocean-based communities, we aim to unlock new opportunities for sustainable living, secure property rights, and resilient growth beyond the limits of traditional nation-states.

Our mission is to pioneer a new framework for how cities can thrive: transparent, free, and future-ready.

Partnering with Pacific Island Nations

The New Nation Project is committed to working hand-in-hand with Pacific Island Nations to address the existential challenges they face, including rising seas, climate risks, limited resources, and economic vulnerability.

By bringing in new funding, logistical support, and opportunities for increased economic activity, our proposals aim to strengthen resilience and create shared prosperity.

Our Current Proposals

The New Nation Project is advancing two pioneering Free Private City initiatives, each designed to work in partnership with host nations and address unique regional challenges:

Pacifica (Tuvalu)

Proposed for development on the western side of the Funafuti reef in Tuvalu, Pacifica is envisioned as a resilient, high-density community that integrates seasteading and land reclamation. It aims to demonstrate how innovative design can expand living space, create new economic opportunities, and regenerate marine ecosystems.

Meliora (Bougainville)

Proposed for the south-west of the Carteret Islands atoll in Bougainville, Meliora seeks to provide a sustainable, self-governing city that brings investment, infrastructure, and livelihood opportunities to one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions.

Together, these projects serve as living examples of how Free Private Cities can help host nations build resilience and prosperity in the face of 21st-century challenges.
