People come up with new sports in order to create a game in which their own arbitrary rules can be followed, whereas people cannot simply secede or claim a new piece of land for their own country in order to create agreeable laws. If the latter were possible, I would have done it by now.

I am not sure where you live, but wherever that is you can still attempt to claim some land for your own country. In fact there are still some places in the world where you can probably get away with it without attracting the attention of anything more than a small tribe of a few hundred people.
The problem you will run into is that in a place where you can claim some land to make your own rules, other people can do the same. Whose rules take precedence? Unfortunately for a lone wolf like yourself it usually comes down to a fight that will either force you off the area they claim or result in your death. This concept holds true wherever you are in the world, except I suspect where you are it would result in conflict with a much larger adversary.
But... I also would guess that you are not self-sufficient; or at least not enough to provide yourself with the luxury you are accustomed to. If allowed on your own you would have problems providing yourself with food, shelter, or maybe adequate medical care (we will just assume that self-defense is out of the question).
So what you are
really saying is that you are angry that you cannot personally dictate your own rules while reaping the benefits of a society that you don't really want to participate in. That what you would really love to do is claim a little area in which to create a miniature monarchy, and you are bitching that everyone else has all the good spots.
If you want a place without rules, sail into international waters and take up residence. It is unlikely that anyone will invade you, and I doubt your previous country will miss you.
