This town is shut down | Macleans.ca - Canada - Features: "Howard Anderson, all his former neighbours will say, is a stubborn man among stubborn men. So stubborn, in fact, that he has outlived Aylmer Sound, the village in which he was born and that, last year, officially legislated itself out of existence. He chops wood, shoots rabbits and watches nature shows on satellite TV. He says the only way he'll leave the town that no longer exists is with a gun to his head."

Why should he leave? Sounds like the libertarian utopia has finally been realized. The government is gone, and so is everybody else. He has the place to himself and can be a true individual. No taxation, no regulation...
