I imagine these kind of articles/blogs being written by people somewhat removed from the fact we live in a physical world.
Land/property is only in one's possession for as long as an opportunist is deterred from seizing it from you. The author should take a good look at eastern Europe to see how "new countries" are a bad idea.
The whole thing is largely irrelevant for another reason though: the continuing emergence of the market state. Corporations increasingly do not give a single hoot about borders, and they're gaining more and more power by the minute; mercenaries already exist en masse in the U.S. and are taken for granted in even less stable countries.
