I personally don't like the idea of going too far north. Much of Orania's ability to maintain their economy is due to being in Africa and therefore being able to grow crops almost continuously throughout the year.
The other thing is that I don't see the United States being nuclear struck, period, for at least a very long time due to inevitable MAD. Even if it happens, the vast majority of Earth's population will be dead, and most of the rest would soon starve to death. There will be no remaining force capable of mounting an invasion on the most privately armed remnant of peoples on earth.
I think in this apocalyptic scenario, the worst we would have to deal with is roving gangs of Mad Max style pillagers and the type of people I would be recruiting would all be very pro gun.
In this hypothetical nuclear scenario, if this project of mine survives, we would very likely become the very seed of civilization that other survivors would flock to.
Give consideration to South America - maybe Patagonia. Or maybe an island. I had a crazy notion to colonize Kerguelen once. The US is a major magnet for immigrants and may grow another 100 million in the next few decades. We're big but the wide open space will start to contract.
