Good Idea but perhaps a few ammendments to the constitution may make life even better. If you only declare the inside a seperate state.
a traffic wardens can still stick tickets on out side and lack of speed restrictions is no use to you inside.

May I suggest you also declare the out side also part of Pugland. Then you can, like most nation states, declare a 12mile territoral zone around your coast (outside of car) and send gunships after anyone who invades your space. You can also claim a 200miles fishing zone allowing you to get free fish and chips from any chippy in that zone so long as you do not exceed your quota.

Speed limit in Pugland should be 0mph as you car is Pugland it will never exceed 0mph relative to it's self but a speed limit of 0mph will stop anyone going faster than your self.

No one would steal your car because as it is a nation state they would be efectively declaring war. Note recommend joining NATO to obtain protection of Americans

Protection from what exactly??

Give it three days and George Dubya will declare Pugland to be a rogue state operating under the influence of a dictatorial Government. After 7 days the Ameriacans will declare a Total Exclusion Zone around Pugland and the first Carrier Battle Group will arrive in theatre. Of course SSBN Submarines will have been covertly operating in the area for the preceding 2 weeks, and will currently be on Defcon 3.
After 10 days the first US Marines Expeditionary force will have completed their deployment, along with the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions. The US 1st Infantry Division ("The Big Red One") wil have arrived, with their armour from their base in Wurzburg, Germany. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) will be operating around the clock in the skies above Pugland and F117A Stealth Aircraft will be operating a Combat Air Patrol.
The control of all land forces will be given to a grizzled old 4-Star General who will be a Vietnam Vet, have a "buzz" style haircut (grey of course) and will have the nub of a cigar permanently held between gritted teeth. He will wear Ray-Bans and refer to everyone as "son". He will hold the worlds media with an ill-disguised contempt and constantly make jibes about the inefficiency of the US Navy.
Once hostilities begin, Pugland will be invaded by all land elements operating in a central command. A diversionary raid will be made by the US Marines whilst the rest of the land components will sneak in past your blind spot. The war will be brief and bloodshed will be kept to a minimum. Except when the Americans "misguide" several cruise missiles and accidentally wipe out Manchester, Birmingham and Norwich, after which George Dubya and the General in command will present a united front and issue the following statement...: "Shit happens - its not like they were real people..."
Pugland will be left in a state of total devastation, no aid will arrive and the promised rebuilding program will be a half-hearted effort which will be abandoned once the worlds media have lost interest.
