Proponents of seasteading want to create free standing "nations" at sea free from ruling from any other country. Each seastead can then rapidly develop their own sort of living system allowing for the trial of all sorts of proposed ideal methods. I think of these as futuristic communes and find the idea of them endlessly fascinating!
BLDGBLOG has this to say:
For a little more background, Wired's Chris Baker covered the Seasteading Institute last month. Baker wrote that the Institute "doesn't just want to create huge floating platforms that people can live on," they are "also hoping to create a platform in the sense that Linux is a platform: a base upon which people can build their own innovative forms of governance. The ultimate goal is to create standards and blueprints that can be easily adapted, allowing small communities to rapidly incubate and test new models of self-rule with the same ease that a programmer in his garage can whip up a Facebook app."
Here, architectural design would actually help to catalyze new forms of political sovereignty.
