In the case of space, that doesn't save you unless all your people are
willing to give up their citizenship.

Really? Why?

Suppose that someone sets up a Liberian space ship. Some of the
passengers, employees and investors are citizens of countries other
than Liberia.

Presumably, if the rules on board the spaceship or in Moon colony are
felt to be unfair to some of those involved, the consul of their
native country in Liberia can complain to Liberian government and ask
the Liberian government to enforce their laws.

Whereas if those involved have given up their citizenship and become
Liberian naturalized citizens, they have no consuls to protect them,
but they can themselves complain to Liberian government...
