Seasteading: Floating Cities To Liberate Humanity From Politicians Are Here
Sorry to say this, but politics has existed since before fire was discovered, and will always follow any form of civilization, whether floating or land based.
One thing floating nations could possibly offer though is the ability for citizens to quit one and join the other. So long as they bring their own floating domicile to link up to the rest, there's little reason one such country would have to refuse entry. Or perhaps attachment would be a better word. And if there's one area of global politics that might be an improvement, it would be the ability for citizens to quit one country and join another. As is, governments enjoy a monopoly of forced loyalty by those who happen to be born within it's borders. Give people the ability to vote with their feet, or in this case their paddles, and thereby give governments a need to compete for citizens, and we might see governments actually give a whit about their citizens well being.
Certainly with land based countries there's a strong reason to keep out foreigners, but with a sea-based "bring your own land" type of situation, it could be quite different.
