I live in my own "country" - my own body, wherever am I.
The Convention on the Rights and Duties of States is an international treaty signed in Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 1933. The convention establishes the definition of the State, its rights and obligations.
In Article 1 it establishes four characteristic criteria of a State that have become part of customary international law.
They have been recognized as confirmation in International Law, establishing that a State as a person of International Law must meet the following requirements:
ARTICLE 1 The State as a subject of International Law must meet the following requirements:
  • Permanent population - me in my own body
  • Determined territory - my own physical body, very well determined boundaries, not imaginary like countries borders
  • Government - I am my own government and rule as I want for myself
  • Ability to enter into relations with other States - very happy to do that with anybody
Under these guidelines, any entity that meets these criteria can be considered a sovereign state under international law, whether or not it has been recognized by other states.
ARTICLE 3 The political existence of the state is independent of its recognition by other states. Even before being recognized, the State has the right to defend its integrity and independence.
ARTICLE 7 The recognition of the State may be express or tacit. The latter results from any act that implies the intention to recognize the new State. In other words: my body of a living man can be a State, wherever am I, with the "territory" inside my body. If I travel around, I am just a simple ambassador of my own state in that visited state.
Have you traveled to any other "normal" country other than wherever you are at the moment?
It would be interesting to see what kind of visa you can have.
Have you had any conversation about this with potential countries that you want to visit?, "normal" countries have a lot of relationships with other countries and they establish who can visit their countries and who doesn't.
Curious to see if you have had anything like this.

ask yourself what is a "visa" ? When you use a pass-port is a license to travel in a commercial interest. Under any commercial travel you have to respect the contract terms you are presented (air-port, trans-port, visa) are all contractual terms.
People are just consenting without knowing what they are consenting.
Think about this.

Yep, totally agree, and after 2020 it became abundantly clear that getting second or third citizenships can easily have no value at all if the planned shit hits the ventilator device!
What is the inflation of real freedom when you even need a large, private jet to travel through any global lockdown? Yeah, they implemented that rule in 2021 or so...
The only way forward for most people is to actively disregard any notion of legality of all this, then do what has to be done at each fork in the road!

This is essentially what most call stateless. But a state at the same time.
