Seasteading
Building permanent, autonomous communities on the ocean, outside the territory of existing nations, so that new forms of government can be tried. It is often discussed alongside the 'network state' idea of forming new political communities online first.
Origin · no single documented coiner
The Seasteading Institute was founded in 2008 by Patri Friedman and Wayne Gramlich, with early funding from Peter Thiel. Earlier floating-city proposals exist, so no single coiner of the underlying idea is documented.
