    What to do if the Spanish police appears
:
   * Be polite, talk with them, explain everything and ask all the doubts about what is possible to do and what not.
   * If they ask for identification, and you show it so that they note it, that may be a problem for you in the future.
     If you don't have your ID at the place, they can drive you to find it or to the police station, but most probably they won't bother, which means end of the problem.
     Only Spanish citizens that live in Spain must carry their ID always with them, as tourist you have the right to keep your ID in a safe place.

Netherlands

Squatting was legalised in the '70s with heavy protests and a huge housing shortage, you could not be vacated from a place if it was undoubtedly empty (12  months) and you established domicile (lockable enclosure, table, chair and bed).
Since the financial crises following 2008, the conservative/liberal government has put every effort in promoting home ownership and preventing the housing bubble to burst. Putting heavy taxes and conditions on renting, while keeping mortgage interest tax deductable.
Blocking alternatives like stopping the financing of elderly homes so abruptly, most went under and were demolished. It also became illegal to rent too cheaply for your income, pushing living costs towards 1/2 and even 2/3s of a single income.

Squatting was banned in 2010, making it illegal to break and enter without the owner's permission.
Due to a loop hole some (shady) companies are now profiting from 'anti-squat'. Where this agency receives money from the owner for protecting against vandalism, while also receiving money from people guarding the place.
Therefore, there's no rent flowing from the tenant to the property owner and no legal protection can be claimed. Although it's illegal to register your official address on a place where there's no contract, there's an order forcing municipalities to accept domicile in these situations.
Municipalities can, however, claim administrative costs to companies acting in their jurisdiction, making this quite lucrative for local governments to keep this situation. The tenants usually have no rights to privacy, contacting the owner, living with pets, couples and certainly no kids.
Usually they have a 7 day notice when they need to vacate, no guarantee on another offer.

Almost all new building projects are upper class family homes, aiming at couples both having careers and sharing in mortgage.

Some notable projects are:
    * https://www.archilovers.com/projects/140410/floating-houses-ijburg.html
    * http://www.ecoboot.nl/

Taking the idea of a house boat a stretch further and creating full floating neighbourhoods. Most of the country has soft ground and a really high water level, Amsterdam is in fact floating about 20 mtrs above firm ground with only a thin floating layer on top. All houses in that area stand on top of poles because they would sink on the regular land. Draining such an area would lead to considerable problems with the settling of the ground, on a large scale it will also allow salt sea water to creep up through underground layers destroying arable land. This, combined with climate change's rising sea levels and increasing draughts has also led to the construction of floating green houses. Having these on an impermeable layer with some dikes around them allows them to store excess rain water in a basin beneath them protected from the sun to be used in dry periods.

PS. It is forbidden to sleep in the whole of The Netherlands. You're only allowed to sleep within a private property that has a license to be inhabited. When sleeping somewhere else like streets, public transport, forests or your own back yard, police will usually wake you and are allowed to fine you. Tents are considered building structures and will need building permits (special permits exist for less than 6 weeks). Next to that, fire is also forbidden in the whole of the country. With cooking stoves, candles, chimneys and combustion engines usually not banned, they're not allowed either. Some places already have started to enforce the ban for wood fires.

Seasteading

See 🔗alike#____Venus_Project.



    Libertarian/Neoliberal "Seasteading"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasteading
"""
No one has yet created a structure on the high seas that has been recognized as a sovereign state. Proposed structures have included modified cruise ships, refitted oil platforms, decommissioned anti-aircraft platforms, and custom-built floating islands.[4] ... Criticisms have been leveled at both the practicality and desirability of seasteading. 
"""

via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Ship
"""
[...] these projects could be considered a realization of the avant-garde Walking City[5] concept from 1964, by British architect Ron Herron of the group Archigram. The Freedom Ship also served as the inspiration for (and is closely resembled by) the Libertania, a mobile ship depicted in Grant Morrison's comic book The Filth. In the 1950s, Buckminster Fuller also proposed "floating cities" approximately a mile wide that could accommodate up to 50,000 permanent inhabitants.  Mike Wallace interviewed Buckminster Fuller on TV regarding this "floating cities" concept, which Fuller explained would free up land needed for agriculture and industrial uses. 
"""

http://timothyblee.com/2010/08/26/the-problem-with-seasteading/
"""
A key advantage of seasteads is what Friedman calls “dynamic geography,” the fact that any given seasteading unit is free to join or leave larger units within seasteading communities. Seasteading platforms would likely band together to provide common services like police protection, but with the key difference that any platform that was dissatisfied with the value it was receiving from such jurisdictions could leave them at any time. [Friedman] argues that this would “move power downward,” giving smaller units within society greater leverage to ensure the interests of their members are being served.

The Republic of Rose Island (Esperanto: Respubliko de la Insulo de la Rozoj; Italian: Repubblica dell'Isola delle Rose) was a short-lived micronation on a man-made platform in the Adriatic Sea, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) off the coast of the province of Rimini, Italy. 
It was built by Italian engineer Giorgio Rosa, who made himself its president and declared it an independent state on 1 May 1968.[1][2] Rose Island had its own government, currency, post office, and commercial establishments, and the official language was Esperanto.[1] However, it was never formally recognized as a sovereign state by any country of the world. Viewed by the Italian government as a ploy by Rosa to raise money from tourists while avoiding national taxation, Rose Island was occupied by the Italian police forces on 26 June 1968, subject to naval blockade, and eventually demolished in February 1969.[3][4]

Then trees entered the city and the city itself expanded into the countryside. This dispersion of architecture and nature is now carried on to an amalgamation where buildings and trees fuse to one unit. The Plane Tree Cube Nagold is an example for that.

Yes this is interesting.UK wise there are possible options for expanding a houshold within the curtailage of a house. Residential development in the open countryside if there is an 'essential need' as part of a agricultural/forestry livelihood.Radical Routes have been effectively hacking housing co-op finance and regulations for years. twitter @dazinism
Also see http://beingsomewhere.net/ Simon and Jasmine are doing some great work. Experimenting with building using materials found on site or recycled as much as possible.  Also addressing beuracracy.

After some explorations in France and Spain, #Portugal seems to be the best bet. Central Portugal. See http://earth-neighbours.com. Much less red tape, many UK people came here for early retirement and sustainable living. Internet coverage on rural hilltop fast enough for basic stuff for 40/month, but if you're lucky there are even ruins with a telephone line. I like the coming together of hacker/sustainability cultures. I'm everywhere @kamiel79

The problem is the weather, so I'm betting on Canary Islands. The slight but substantial difference in low temperatures, esp in winters:

    Lanzarote: normal winter night low 16°C, cold of 13°C
    Coimbra, central Portugal: normal nights <10°C, low around 0°C

(I picked Coimbra, open to change to other reference Central Portugal place). The difference between 15 and 5 degrees is, in the first you can camp and won't get sick if you pass out on the porch, in the second you can't camp, and will get a winter cough.
Land prices in Lanza are 3-5€/square meter for farming land. I think the connectivity is not much worse - cheap flights. @dcht00

Random #Polish link - New legislation - no need for building permits under certain conditions. (use Google translate)  Twitter @stefek99

One more, this time from wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micha%C5%82_Drzyma%C5%82a - "He is a Polish folk hero because, after he was denied permission to build a house on his own land (only because he was Polish) by the Prussian authorities in the village of Kaisertreu, he bought a circus wagon and turned it into his home. At the time, Prussian law considered any dwelling a house if it remained stationary for more than 24 hours. Drzymała use the mobility of the wagon to exploit the law and to avoid the negative consequences by moving the wagon each day and thus preventing the Prussians the ability to penalize him."

The ideas are great but not everyone wants to go into the countryside & loneliness, even if with a few other like-minded people.
Many people want to enjoy different cities and their inspiring spirit
 So how about populating flat roofs in big cities as summer camps?
 Tents or other structures on the roof can be connected to the infrastructures in the flats below, where friends (and the owner of the house) allow to use the toilet, electricity, WLAN, etc.
 
 Some flat roofs can have damage from people who are walking on it, therefore the owner has to be asked before, as he has to come up for the renovation costs.
 Also people who are drunk or do not see in the dark can fall down from the roof, so some fence, etc. would be of benefit.

"Freedom camping club are a fully certified exempted organisation and have legal powers to licence any piece of land deemed suitable for camping and caravanning to operate as a campsite. You don't need to apply for planning permission or a licence from your local authority and its a great way to get a small campsite running in areas where planning approval would not normally be given."

earthships

Earthship open to public - in Zwolle, Netherlands
Wikipedia: An Earthship is a style of architecture developed in the late 20th century to early 21st century by architect Michael Reynolds. Earthships are designed to behave as passive solar earth shelters made of both natural and upcycled materials such as earth-packed tires. Earthships may feature a variety of amenities and aesthetics, and are designed to withstand the extreme temperatures of a desert, managing to stay close to 70 °F (21 °C) regardless of outside weather conditions. Earthship communities were originally built in the desert of northern New Mexico, near the Rio Grande, and the style has spread to small pockets of communities around the globe, in some cases in spite of legal opposition to its construction and adoption. 
Reynolds developed the Earthship design after moving to New Mexico and completing his degree in architecture, intending them to be "off-the-grid-ready" homes, with minimal reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels. They are constructed to use available natural resources, especially energy from the sun and rain water. They are designed with thermal mass construction and natural cross-ventilation to regulate indoor temperature, and the designs are intentionally uncomplicated and mainly single-story, so that people with little building knowledge can construct them. They can be perceived as a realization of the utopia of autonomous housing and sustainable living. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthship
