Just set up a village like the hippies do, only more bikes and less gay, and have your own unofficial set of rules. They tend to lable communities that avoid "crown" contact as "cults" tho... Maybe build a 3-4km track and start a biker cult?

Yes. The New Zealand Government can pass whatever enabling legislation it likes.

You could try to overthrow the rule in Tuhoe... aren't some of those guys trying to be a state within the state?
Or you could start your own religion or overthrow Destiny Church. With the tithing you get, you could buy a fair whack of land somewhere... or if you want to be like Pastor Brian, you could buy a massive house and a mega massive yacht while claiming to live a very modest lifestyle

You could just hop in a boat, and go live out in international waters ...

There's a big difference between living outside the authority of a state and creating a state within a state. A state is a legally constituted entity whose authority is recognised by other states.

To divest oneself of the authority of the state is not as simple as it seems. As the late Mr Joyce discovered.
