Resource extraction and limited refining is easier to set up than manufacturing, generally, depending on how complex the objects in question are. An Aspie/Autist micronation could probably be set up with farming, clay and wood production (for example) as the primary sector, the production of wood, wool, leather, and clay objects (houses, furniture, utensils, musical instruments, clothing etc) as the secondary sector, and using this to pay for the tertiary sector (teaching, paying for healthcare etc). There's a lot one can do without pissing off the powers that be that will allow such a micronation to be self sufficient. It does require land, but in America and Canada that seems to be in plentiful supply. Heavy relience on cottage industry, granted, but if it provides jobs for Autists... of course, not everyone would be engaged in the primary or secondary sector.
Ideas like this are closer to reality than fantasies about creating a fully fledged nation-state by taking over another country.
Interesting. But really, we should conquer fiji
