The last unclaimed part of earth. It could be yours.

Buy land, they're not making it anymore.
Mark Twain

Every inch of the world belongs to a some country, sometimes there is a dispute and 2 or more may claim ownership. But nowhere is there NO owner . . . right?

Wrong. There is a 795 sq mi / 2,060 sq km that is open for claim. You can move there and in theory, claim it and run it as its king. But you are on your own.

Egypt Yellow, Egypt Blue, Green Dual, white - NOT-CLAIMED

Bir Tawīl is an area of the earth near lower Egypt (according to Sudan) or upper Sudan,( according to Egypt). This discrepancy comes from a disagreement of the straight political boundary between Egypt and Sudan established in 1899, and the irregular administrative boundary established in 1902. Egypt (in yellow) asserts the political boundary , and Sudan (in blue) asserts the administrative boundary, with the result that the Hala'ib Triangle (in green) is claimed by both and Bir Tawil (in white) by neither.

The bounders are in read, but you can name it anything you want.

Bir Tawil's climate is, hot and arid desert. During the spring, summer and fall months, temperatures can exceed 104 °F / 40 °C. Its peak heat three months three months can see it as high as 113 °F / 45 °C. The mildest temperatures 79 °F / 26 °C.

Really?

Can you move there? Probably, and if you can surive the conditions, it's yours. You’ll probably need a visa for Egypt or Sudan to get there though, being land locked. Getting food there might be tough. Water - even tougher. But here, you would be king or queen. All you have to do is just convince a fair part of the world that is is yours and you can run it. There is not form, or process. Just form a government, get recognized, and you are the ruler. Some have tried, but no-one has passed muster.
