But no one is impeding their right to travel freely from state to state - there aren't border checks at the state borders checking papers. They are freely able to travel. What becomes an issue is when they want to use a car, we've developed this thing about needing it to be registered and insured because it is an inherently dangerous activity, and taxed in order to cover the cost of managing this regulation.

This whole sovcit thing is so asinine. It stems from the idea of some people wanting to live "off grid" and outside the rules and regulations of civilization so they set up their own communities - like Sealand or Molossia. They just want a place of land where they can do their own thing, they know they don't have access to tax payer roads, water, emergency assistance, electric, etc, so they have to set it up themselves, but because they are technically a micronation and can be recognized by other countries as such, they'll do other things like create passports, currency, royalty, etc. It's all in good fun. BUT since they know they can't do everything on their own and they have to work with an actual functioning society to survive, they know they have to follow that country's rules while there, just like anyone else. (While shopping, working, visiting friends, whatever else)

How that idea of people humorously setting up their own sovereign nations got spun into all this nonsense is unbelievable.
