You can't become a sovereign entity without territory on which you can enforce your norms. Amazon doesn't and (for the foreseeable future) won't have sovereign territory.

You don't need territory, the Sovereign Order of Malta doesn't have any either. If you are in a locale where you can use the legal system to forestall any action against you, it's pretty much the same thing.
>without territory on which you can enforce your norms

They seem to be doing pretty well at enforcing their norms in the good ole United States of Amazon.

What is United States of Amazon?
