Imagine a private company offers you the basic services of a state, the protection of life, liberty and property, in a defined territory within a host nation. You pay a certain amount for those services per year. Your respective rights and obligations are laid down in a written agreement between you and the provider. Apart from that, you are free to do as you choose.
Thus, you are a contracting party on an equal footing with a secured legal position, instead of being subject to the ever changing whims of politics. And what is more, you only become a part of it if you accept the offer."
