Reading Theodore Herzel, one of the foremost books in history to go from: pamphlet (book) > germinating idea > crowd-sourcing money > buy physical land > establish a state (i.e Israel). @balajis.eth mentions this v eloquently.

Retrospectively everything looks romantic, but took 50 yrs to go from first distribution to state creation.

yeah, with a few hiccups in between - still a historic feat. I cannot think of any other instance (modern or not) where a state was built, as opposed to handed out or partitioned, out of sheer will and private property
