Just read up on HHH and it is just the kind of thing that I would expect to see come out of a libertarian state. I like the emphasis on freedom of association and exclusion and think people should be free to group as they like and I'd expect a wide variety of local flavors to spring up ^^ So long as they held to libertarian principles I don't see the issue.
Libertarian minarchism fits the bill pretty darn well of what I think is ideal for a capitalistic societies. Localities could govern themselves as the saw fit and people could find peace with their own.
You run into the same challenge that I mentioned earlier with differences (potentially drastic) in law from place to place complicating interstate/municipality travel/relations of course, but for the most part people are free to do as they like be it build a family, amass a fortune or die in a ditch.

Ok now you are thinking but you have to take it all the way. How do you protect this society from larger statist systems? or a cabal of smaller groups working to control things like international commerce? I bet the native Americans thought they had a pretty ideal minarchist system going until they ran into better organized state powers that had no qualms about acquiring their resources and lands by force.
