From tiny oak, mighty acorns grow

The town of Buford, Wyoming is for sales.  Starting bid: $100,000.

It may not have a hollowed-out volcano or an impenetrable swamp, but as a nascent power base or bridgehead for an alien invasion you could do a lot worse.  Just buy it, set up the homing beacon and wait for the fleet.  How you handle the local authorities is your problem.

Hail Vectron!

Max, call your service

It looks fairly promising until you get to the bit about how civil disputes will be resolved by "Two men enter, one man leaves".
