Notes:
1) Land colony assumes a geographic area INSIDE the United States.
2) Non-colony assumes the whole USA.
3) Ocean colony assumes nearness to US coast or territory.

Conclusions:

The land colony seems to offer the quickest route to reduced coercion
against the individual, a sort of interim haven until total victory.
I wouldn't underestimate the ability of a libertarian city to muck up
and otherwise deflect a lot of state and federal interference.

Ocean and Space colonies are just too darned expensive.
