happythoughts 0 #6 January 9, 2007 I was thinking of doing the same thing here. The Rio Grande is the US-Mexico border. If you could find a wide spot where the water is shallow enough, you could put up a one-room dwelling. Your own independent country. Then, do like Delaware does, allow corporations to register there with no corporate tax. Of course, there would be an annual registration renewal fee...
