Perhaps you can’t imagine a city-state without taxes, laws, or elected representatives.  Perhaps you can’t imagine that this city-state also provide a guaranteed $12,000 annual income to each adult citizen plus a viable health plan.

How is this possible?  Let me discuss the claim that no elected representatives are needed, as an example.  One possible solution would be a Lottocracy whereby representatives are chosen from a pool of viable and tested applicants.  All people that want to be representatives would take a test.  The top 25% would be placed into a lottery pool.  The representatives would then be randomly drawn from the pool.  The resulting body of representatives would be a cross section of the sexes, ages, professions and races.  The representatives would not be mostly male lawyers, as is the present situation in America.  Under a Lottocracy, representatives would be engineers, teachers, doctors and anybody that can score in the top 25% in a test of logic, IQ, and truth.  Perhaps a vote could be called to reject a lottery selection.  There are many possible scenarios all that yield a better aggregate representative body than our current group of lawyer-politicians.

Perhaps you can’t imagine a civilization where everyone can own his or her own business.  Perhaps you can’t imagine a civilization where a healthy person can become a professional athlete, an actress, or a model.  Perhaps you can’t imagine a civilization where every intelligent person can earn a living as a doctor, an engineer, a builder, or a manufacturing entrepreneur. 

Why isn’t the United States a Utopia?  One reason is that the USA has a supply-demand curve that is frequently like a cliff.  You can make twenty million as a star athlete or lose half your life in a fruitless pursuit of the goal

This would be a fun place for all to live because it offers a fun and interesting alternate reality.  Live your dreams in a Utopian City-State!

A hundred square miles of property would secure an investment.  Utopian City-States Inc.  primarily needs a benefactor to buy a hundred square miles of property and rent it to us.

You don't know how good a government can be!
