I tried to think of a case where a “new” state is founded. On earth, every (dry) place is already owned, so that wouldn’t have worked (without seceding). Seasteads might work nearly as well as space colonies. Assuming infinite monetary resources, in both cases it is conceivable to set up something completely disconnected from existing power structures.
In a way it’s just a toy example, that disregards wars and other military actions.
