Making Political Philosophy a Science

Ok, so I have an idea, which, though technically possible, is not feasible or plausible. But what the hell, why don't I just throw it out there?
People disagree widely on political philosophies. And I'm talking about the broad picture here, not just republicans and democrats. We've got communists, socialists, fascists, capitalists, anarchists, and many subsets of each of these. Now, despite what you may self-righteously believe, I think there are essentially high quality intelligent arguments for each of these philosophies. I believe, though I'm not certain, that these philosophies ultimately rest on different views of human nature. To take one striking example, capitalists believe humans achieve the most in a competitive society, whereas communists believe humans achieve most when contributing to the greater good. Now that is just one example, of many fundamentally different worldviews. And to my mind, there doesn't seem to be any way to test 'human nature'. But I do have this idea to solve, or at least provide a great amount of evidence for certain political philosophies.
So here is the plan:
We get a bunch of philanthropists and angel investors to give us a TON of money. Billions and billions of dollars. Plus a TON of land. I suppose we could buy northern Canada, where very few people live. Then we get about 100,000 volunteers. Now in my mind, this part would be easy (I'll explain why in a moment). So we divide up the volunteers by their political philosophies, and create like 30 sovereign 'countries' up there in northern Canada. They all start out with the same amount of money; everything else is left up to them. Then we stand back and watch. Give them 50-75 years, and see which societies end up prosperous and which ones fail. Barring any huge oil or other resource find in one of the societies, it seems like a fair deal. Now the volunteer thing would be easy. For the communist country we'd find communists, for the libertarian country we'd throw all the Ron Paul supporters in there, etc.
Again, not feasible. But what better way can you think of to put some science behind our political views? Put real people in a real culture with those policies, and see what happens. Makes enough sense to me.
